Is this dress a bit OTT for a wedding guest?

[LoveAGoodRummage]

It's this one from Pretty Kitty.
It's a medium sized church wedding in Scotland and I don't really know anyone...
I showed DP and he thinks it's fine but I can't help but wonder if it appears attention seeking... Help me s&b gurus!

Will it hang flat or have an underskirt holding it out like in the picture?

SCOTLAND?

freezing

Nice - i'd wear it, black shoes/bag, red lips and sleek hair, pretty! Might be chilly though - have you got a coat/cardi?

It's not to my taste, but it's fine as far as appropriately dressed goes.

Yes FREEZING! Was thinking thick black tights too? Skirt goes out a little but I can get an underskirt for extra volume

Liking the black and red theme a lot, thanks Fox. And yes I will definitely have a coat and a cardi!

i dont like fifties stuff but if you do
Personally I would get an autumn dress with sleeves

I think it's OTT unless it's Christmas/ a winter wedding and you're sure that the bridesmaids aren't wearing.

I'm wearing a similar shape to a wedding soon, maybe less full but yes, it has a net underskirt.
I'm also hoping I'm not OTT. Or even worse OTT Mutton dressed as Lamb!

I tried to find a nice long sleeved dress and failed... Feel free to make suggestions - I'm 5'6, size 8 with zero curves and ballerina boobs. Budget is no more than £50...

Funny you should mention that NottheOP, because I thought the same. Alas it's in October. Colour scheme is Christmassy though...

I'm mid 30s. Is that old? Have I wandered into mutton territory??

It's a gorgeous dress.

I'm your shape* but a bit taller and I get my dresses from Phase Eight.

*if ballerina boobs = flat

phase eight a bit old for someone in their thirties?

Meh so what if it is a bit cold no need to dress for the artic, I am Scottish and have never worn a dress with sleeves or black tights to a wedding no matter the time of year. I have worn coats/ jackets for the church but once you get inside at the hotel the weather outside doesn't matter.

I wouldn't go for a really full petticoat if you don't know how others will dress but the dress in fine.

thats Typical scots though! All shivering

Also you wouldn't be overdressed at any of the weddings I have been to. Where is the reception?

I'd go for something different if you're wearing opaque black tights:
floral
another
green
I also think the tunic with high neck/long sleeves would flatter your figure better....black patent shoes and bag, bright coat to match dress.

like first two of the yumi ones
If you like flowers

I dont GET the fancy dress aspect of fifties dresses

Looks like I need to get myself to River Island! I particularly like the last one but not sure about the material.

With regards to the weather, I am planning on donning my wine jacket during the evening!

Hadn't thought of Phase Eight, will have a nosey...

I love that but I have boobs and I'm not sure if they'd ruin the look...they'd definitely show in that gap! Hmm.

Lucked, if I recall correctly it's at the local village hall which is very pretty by all accounts. The groom etc are in kilts if that's an indication of dress code?
