Is this dress wedding appropriate?

I already own this dress, and it's a summer wedding I'm invited to. Bear in mind I'm short so it's knee-length, maybe a bit longer, on me.

What do you think? I will buy something new if this gets the "nay" Smile

Definitely appropriate. It's lovely.

flagnogbagnog · 21/06/2015 13:49

Yes absolutely. I think it's lovely. Great for a summer wedding.

MissBananaMama · 21/06/2015 13:51

Lovely

No, lone voice of dissent here, I don't like it for a wedding! Looks like a dress for work to me.

You think so Fern? I've only worn it a few times and it's always been for a "big hair, big heels, glam" sort of look for dinner and drinks, but I dress in jeans and a T for work so perhaps my perception of fancy is a bit off?!

I would wear it to a wedding.

MitzyLeFrouf · 21/06/2015 14:11

I think it will be fine. I saw the word 'bodycon' in the link and was prepared to say no but it doesn't seem as sausage skin tight as most bodycon dresses.

Go for it.

MrsRossPoldark · 21/06/2015 14:14

Yes go for it! I saw the 'bodycon' bit too and was a bit worried but when I saw it I could see the hat, the bag, the shoes, the jewellery straight away! Have a lovely time!

FadedRed · 21/06/2015 14:14

Lovely.

FuckFaulknerILikeTheGruffalo · 21/06/2015 14:25

Okay will go with majority thoughts here! Phheeeww, I get flustered dress shopping, it's very rarely something fits me right so that is a relief.

Now, as you say Mrs, for the bag, shoes and jewellery [sweating]

Yes I'm the only one so ignore me!

SylvaniansAtEase · 21/06/2015 14:29

I don't think it looks worky, but not weddingy either. But with accessories, sure it'll be fine.

Fern, I have a picture of you in my mind as someone extreeemely glamorous now Smile

Oh yes that's me. Dripping with diamonds too. Grin

Floggingmolly · 21/06/2015 19:40

Yes, it's lovely. I certainly wouldn't wear it to work!!

YesThisIsMe · 21/06/2015 19:45

Looks fine to me. I agree with Fern that quite a few of the younger staff members in my office would wear it to work, but with the right hat and shoes it's perfectly wedding appropriate.
