Ive been invited to a wedding... Does this dress look too bridesmaid like??

[BBMs]

hi everyone! As I said, been invited to a wedding... None of my existing dresses fit me so I went dress hunting this evening, the one I loved was this one, but my husband thinks it looks like I'm one of the bridesmaids! And I have started second guessing myself.
What do you guys think??
Many thanks in advance :)

Agree with your husband

It is a bit bridesmaidy but can you find out what colour the bridesmaids will be wearing? As long as its a different colour I reckon it would be fine.

Is the clue in the word 'Bridal'? It is v nice though.

Think it is a bit like a bridesmaid dress, sorry.

It looks too bridal/bridesmaid to me. I would look for something else.

I just tried it on coz I love that color and it fitted so well!! I thought that with black accessories would look much better.
Or maybe I could return that one and get this one instead??? I just loved the way it looks...
Btw, loads of "guest dresses" have the bridal tag in monsoon :S

It says bridal dress

Oh xpost. Its a bit evening wearish.

It looks like occasion wear - which is what a wedding requires as a guest. Unless you are the same colour as the bridesmaids I can't see it shouting "I wanted to be a bridesmaid" Just because it has a bridal wear tag doesn't mean that's the first thing you would think if you saw someone walking around in it. I couldn't see it being worn in a nightclub but at a ball or wedding it would look fine on anyone IMO.

Jennerosity, that's exactly what I thought... The theme colour is gold i guess (the ribbon of the invitation) and they are having an evening reception.
I think I will sleep on it and try it on tomorrow... I could actually live in it! Lol it's so comfy and fits right in the right places iykwim :)
Thanks for the replies.

I think it is quite evening ish and looks a bit bridesmaid ish - sorry!

It's sold as a bridesmaid's dress! I wouldn't.

Agree with Mr BBMs sorry

It says silver, but looks white. I wouldn't be very happy if I were the bride.

It looks like a bridesmaid dress for sure.

When is the wedding? If it is a summer wedding, then you might be better to go for a more summery dress - that one is lovely but it looks more like a wedding/bridesmaid/cocktail dress.

No no, far too bridesmaidy!

Agree with everyone else - it looks like a brides dress for someone who wants something non-traditional to me, which is also a look a lot of bridesmaids wear. Unless you are sure that neither the bride nor bridesmaids are wearing anything remotely similar, I'd go for something different.

Please don't wear this. It isn't suitable and the second link is not good either. Black to a wedding?

Looks quite bridal to me rather than bridesmaid - unsuitable for a wedding guest imho.
Did you find anything else?

I agree in that I think it would be OK if you did mix it up with some black accessories. It is/does look like a bridesmaid dress but if the colour isn't the same as the wedding party I think it's OK. Loads of people wear silk evening dresses to weddings. I also know quite a few people that have worn black to weddings, styled with gold or other brightish colour accessories... but I prefer the colour you bought TBH.

I think if you were to put it with a really chunky necklace and/or bracelet then it would make it suitably pazzazzy to not make you look like a bridesmaid.

Could you or DH ask the bride her opinion?! Or someone close to her?

Is it silver or white? It looks very white. If whiteish then I would avoid. If it's actually silver then I would choose a very contrasty non-bridal coloured shrug/cardi/jacket and accessories and go for it.

it IS a bridesmaid dress

If you wore that, I'd be half expecting you to jump up during the vows and start singing 'It should have been me!'

Is this is a joke? . You really wouldn't wear a white bridesmaid dress or a black dress to a wedding would you? .

How about a nice maxi dress or a stylish jumpsuit instead? ....
