Can I wear this Satin Dress to a Wedding. Husband says no. I feel stunning in it, and think it is ok to wear.

Opinion needed. I got gifted this dress for Christmas it's a bit tight as it is my pre baby size, but it somehow makes me look smaller than I am.

It is cinched on my waist and then flows into a fitted skirt. I feel confident in it. I feel like me again. I have been desperate to wear it since I got it but we never go out.

It's my husband's best friend's wedding in February. He is one of the best men. I am not in the wedding so I wont be in any of the pictures or anything like that.

Husband isn't happy about me wearing it. Is it reasonable to wear it? I never go out and I think we will be having another baby by the end of the year so I wont get another chance to wear this beautiful dress. I also dont want to go out and buy another dress when I have been gifted this one and it is sitting in my wardrobe.

It is white at the bottom but clearly with the black lace top it is not a wedding dress. Be honest please.

You find it difficult to go out with current baby but you are planning on having another by the end of the year? Sorry I know off topic but no to the dress.

No you mustn't wear that as a wedding guest. It's a fabulous dress but one that is a clear statement that the wearer should be the focus of the attention of every heterosexual man present. That is not the role of a wedding guest.

Tell your DH to organise a fabulous weekend away for the two of you (including organising childcare that you are happy with) which includes a Saturday night event worthy of such a dress. His task is to make you feel like a goddess in it. You deserve that opportunity to wear the hell out of it. Do not abuse some other couple's wedding day to be that opportunity, that would be mean.

Your desire to wear the dress, how good you feel in the dress and it being the nicest dress you own are not reasons that trump it being inappropriate for a wedding. Which it is. You will have to buy a new dress and save this one for another time. That’s just the way it is and no amount of “but but” is going to make it any more appropriate.

The dress is beautiful...but it's far too low, there's too much skin exposed to wear to a wedding and the skirt is white.

This dress is definitely not suitable for a wedding. I normally buy my daughter in laws a jumper.

I am honestly surprised that anyone thinks this would even be close to suitable for a wedding. Maybe I’m behind the times and, to be fair, my family hasn’t reached the next inevitable slew of weddings, but I honestly can’t imagine that being worn in a church. Too much skin exposed. While I’m sure it’s amazing on you, there must be other dresses that could make you look and feel great.

Going against the grain I think it’s lovely and have been to weddings (up north) where no one would blink an eye. Take a hacket or something. But otherwise make an occasion to go out and wear it.

lol absolutely not

I’m normally the first to say that the dress is fine but in this instance it’s really not.

I think it’s a dress that’s hard to wear anywhere tbh, particularly if you don’t go out!

Could you MIL not babysit for one evening?

No you mustn't wear that as a wedding guest. It's a fabulous dress but one that is a clear statement that the wearer should be the focus of the attention of every heterosexual man present. That is not the role of a wedding guest.

gosh is it the 1950s?

If she wears it with a long (at least knee length coat) and does not take the coat off (even during the reception etc)? Maayyybe. But this dress is mainly white. Most of the fabric is white. It’s therefore absolutely not appropriate to wear to a wedding.

It’s also completely inappropriate for most places of worship, which is where weddings traditionally take place.

And even if the bride were to share your opinion and agree to OP wearing this dress:
be aware that the other guests may still judge the OP!

It’s a no from me.

Nice dress but wholly unsuitable for a wedding.

The white satin skirt looks very bridal to me, despite the black top.

its also a bit revealing - is the wedding in a church?

It’s a beautiful dress but not suitable for a wedding.
I can understand your desire to wear it - find a babysitter and heaven a great night out in it.

Why do you keep writing edit when you're not editing?

I don’t think it’s old fashioned to let the bride be the one that shines on her wedding day.

If you wear it with a jacket during the day and then without the jacket during the party at night then it’s okay to wear, otherwise without something over it, it’s too revealing for a wedding.

As others have said it is not a suitable dress for a wedding. It's too revealing and black and white is not appropriate either.

It is a beautiful dress. Perhaps arrange a really lovely night out somewhere where you can wear it and feel good.

Book a lovely restaurant and go for dinner and wear it.

Find another occasion to get really dressed up - a wedding isn’t the time to wear this.

If the bottom was anything other than white I’d say it would just about be ok. But the majority of the dress is bright white and I think you might stand out (and in a bad way) if you wear it.

I agree with hubby re the skirt looking like a wedding dress … before reading your op I assumed you were asking if ok to wear your own wedding as your bridal dress

No not appropriate for a wedding but now you know what kind of shape you like to find something else.

Absolutely not

No no no. You cannot wear a dress that is mostly whit satin to a wedding.
