Can I wear this to a wedding, or is it OTT?

[Wilding]

I'm going to a wedding next weekend and have just bought a skirt very similar to the one in this picture - can I wear it or is it too much? I don't want to out-meringue the bride! I'd dress it down with either a plain black top or white shirt and low-key make-up & hair. The wedding is in a posh hotel, if that makes any difference.

I think it's fine, particularly if you wear quite a plain top, as you are planning to do. You won't look anything like a bridesmaid.

IT IS AMAZING WEAR IT

Fab fab skirt -wear it as described -dressed down. It is really unusual and very chic choice.

I love it!it It wouldn't look out of place at a wedding here (Ireland) but weddings are big here! Most weddings I ve been at are formal dress or black tie.
Depends on dress code and location I guess....

It's lovely

But yes it's a bit 'look at me look at me!', when at weddings it should be 'look at her look at her!'

It's a bit much but dressed down it could be ok. I'd also check that the bride is ok with people wearing green. Some people think it's bad luck.

Wear it! After checking bridesmaid dress colour of course, that would be embarrassing!

Style it very simply like the picture, and you will look amazing.

That style is my going anywhere apart from work or allotment look, though I wear my skirts scraping the top of my DM boots rather than floor length.
I wear layers of clothes too, and net underskirts.
I have been ill and not been out recently, I need an excuse to dress up.
Have a lovely time at the wedding and come back and update us.

(People do tend to look at me with sometimes but I cannot bear the way everyone dresses in exactly the same clothes.
I have been dressing up since I was 13 and got a job in a new-fangled boutique and I am not going to stop now!)

I was shopping yesterday and saw a wedding party leave a venue. A guest was wearing this skirt in purple with a dark top. We spent ages trying to figure out if she was the bride or not!

I really love it. Would look great with a shirt.

Oh I love it too-another vote to wear it, dressed down and with minimal accessories!

While I do think it's ott I don't think it's in any way rude to wear it. Personally, I would feel uncomfortably over dressed.

I'd be thrilled if you wore that to my wedding!

What label is it?

Why can't I see a link or a picture? I'm dying to see this skirt!!

Are wilbur and me the only ones who can't see the skirt? No link or pic!

Oh! I could see it but now it has GONE

Scroll down and you'll see the original picture styled with shades and a black tee.

I can't see it either.

Don't know where the picture went! Trying again...

So I asked the opinions of all my friends who are going to the wedding (including one bridesmaid - we were all at school together) and they all said I should go for it. Apparently the bridesmaid dresses are nothing like it.

After a bit of chit chat about what we were all wearing the bride joined in and said she was sure we'd all look nice in whatever we wore, so I'm taking that as a yes!

Love it - it's fabulous.

I had a very low key wedding but I'd have been delighted at the effort if a guest had worn this - it'd have made me feel they pulled out all of the stops.

It's just lovely. I'd look awful in it being short and, ahem, rotund and I'm so jealous.

If you wore that to my wedding I wouldn't bat a eyelid. In fact I'd be chuffed you'd made the effort. I think it depends on the crowd - conservative, suburban types might think it's a bit odd, but who cares?

FiftyShades the label inside mine says 'Tatters', which as far as I can work out used to be the bridal concession at Harrods. Apparently the lady who donated it to the charity shop also brought in a load of top-end designer stuff so I'm guessing it was probably quite expensive originally...
