It looks much nicer in real life (I actually think the model in the picture appears to be wearing a size too large for her)

I am in my 30s, size 8, tall, dark hair.

My only concerns are:

Is it too old for someone in their 30s?
Would the colour look odd on someone with pale skin?

Thanks

I really like it (i wore a Jenny Packham for my wedding)

Think people might be being put off by the photo maybe? Sounds like it would look lovely on you with your dark hair.

SELFIE! SELFIE! SELFIE!

Agreed, the OP's is the nicest.

I love it. It's the kind of dress I would love to wear if I wasn't a blimp!

I'm not sure.
I'd also need to see you in it.
The 3rd Ghost dress is gorgeous!

Love it!

I LOVE Jenny Packham's wedding dresses usually, but the one you linked to reminded me a bit of the dress Susan Boyle wore at her BGT audition!

Susan Boyle just looks awful in that picture. I looked at your picture of the dress's house and i have to say its stunning. Its so elegant. I would go with it.

lol..dress's house??? I looked at the original picture...sorry

Really love it. Esp if its a good fit and as someone else with your colouring. Has a vintage look and just so much more interesting than your average bride

I'd say that dress is for an older lady...sorry. Not a good colour for pale skin.
I think it's cut to hide older arms and chest.

This is fancier.

Not sure I prefer it to the original one, though.

OMG i love this:

or this ?

there are loads more on the site - but I wasnt sure about your taste

Hmmm...it's a bit Joan Collins for me, I'm afraid.

If it were totslly backless, you wore your hair up and had killer heels on, it might look a bit nicer. It's just not figure hugging enough, a bit too intentionally-forgiving.

Sorry!

This is nice and a smidge over £200

If the tall, slim, stunning model doesn't look good it in.....

Just realised I wrote yuk instead of you!
You will look anything but yuk OP. Sorry about typo.

I love it!

Sorry no selfie yet - haven't had the house to myself, DP been around!

Ahhhh! Keep checking back for selfie. Tell your OH to go out - mumsnet awaits!

It's gorgeous. Especially on a size 8... Will look stunning!

I'd worry about the colour - it would completely drain me, for example.

Is the neck too low on this?

I think it is very elegant. It will look better if you have some accesory in your hair - more bridal
