Please, Could I ask for your unbiased opinions again on my choice of wedding dress

[lotsofboats]

Hi
I thought I had decided on my dress...But have fallen head over heels with this
www.temperleylondon.com/shop/trends/Balanchine_Dress_18541

My problem is - I am having a totally informal civil wedding, with a buffet reception... I fear this is really too much?
Or worst case I could look like a magicians assistant!!

Please help x

Its your wedding - you will never look over dressed!
And that is a gorgeous dress - I want it!

Its ok. But doesn't look like it costs £500. And polyester lining??

I have seen many many much nicer tea length wedding dresses for half that money online!

That dress is informal! I mean, it's Temperley informal, so still glamorous, but that fact that it is short automatically makes it perfect for a more casual wedding.

Agree with Bue, as it's short, it won't look overly formal. Am also aghast and the cost considering the material used!

But it is a lovely dress. What will you wear in you hair, if anything?

I like it and I don't think you would look overdressed. :)

It's beautiful and I love the gold embroidery. Excellent choice OP!

I think it's lovely & no way OTT for an informal wedding!
Personally, I don't like the sleeve length but aside from that it's beautiful, what sort of shoes/accessories would you wear with it (I'd keep everything else simple because of all the detail).

I married in similar circumstances (but a restaurant instead of a buffet) & wore this dress (not my eBay listing!), didn't feel like a lemon at all and fits in the wardrobe

You sound exactly like me. I had a last minute change of heart recently and bought a new dress and am thinking exactly the same thing - am I going to look overdressed? However, I do think you should bear in mind that this is (hopefully) the only time you are getting married so you should absolutely go for it!

Are you waif like?

I think won't look great otherwise. Is beautiful dress though.

GaryBusey that is very pretty!

It's beautiful :) (does seem expensive though for the fabric/composition etc) but it is stunning, love it.

Not OTT at all! I'm wearing a formal gown and we are having a reception in a village hall! I don't care!

Wear what the hell you like I say, it's your day and you're the star!

It's perfect, you will look beautiful

Its lovely on the model in the pics. But I do think you would need to be very thin to get away with it. Plus the creaminess of the colour might be a bit wishy washy depending on your colouring. I hate the model's shoes.

I think it's lovely but a bit pricey for what it is.
Have you checked out coast and monsoon?

It's your wedding. Go for it! It's a stunning dress

It's fine for an informal wedding.

Awwww! Thank you all! I really appreciate it. I feel unconfident in my choices..

I echo the shock of the cost! (but I actually got it half price, which is bad enough!) Other wise I wouldn't have it :-)

I am not waif like though , 5ft 4 size10. brunette I will wear nude heels with plain vintage glass jewellery.
I think just glossy hair, and simple make up.

I ordered it because I decided this is probably my one chance to wear something like this - My lifestyle doesn't involve much glamour tbh!

I think you will look lovely in it.
:)

GaryBuseysTeeth, That is a lovely dress too, thanks for sharing :-)

It is an utterly fabulous dress and I hope you have a wonderful day.

Absolutely beautiful. Many Congratulations !

In that case it will work beautifully. Congrats and enjoy the day.

If you are a size 8, you can get it for less than £250 here

That is not too much at all. If you know you will feel wonderful in it then that should be an answer.

Wearing it with heavy virgin veil would be a clash of styling but not with a great shoe. I love a shorter dress at a wedding-very chic. Look at Keira!
