Black knitted dress for wedding?

[TravellingontheClaphamOmnibus]

I'm going to a wedding next month and am yet to lose my post pregnancy weight. I have an unworn black sweater dress that I bought over christmas which I thought would cover all sins. It does but I never wore it because I'm breastfeeding and a really didn't want to pull up a dress and expose my knickers!

But, I've been invited to a wedding and we're leaving baby behind with a ton of EBM so plan to wear the dress. I don't want to buy a new dress as the weight is falling off. I have some lovely teal shoes which I plan to wear.

Does this sound OK for a wedding? It's at a registry office and then to a rather nice restaurant for lunch.

Will do hair in curlers in glam loose curls. Do you think this will do?

that sounds really nice!

With the added bonus of not having to breathe in all day and enjoy the nice lunch properly!

Hope you have a lovely time!

a nice teal handbag to match the shoes would finish the outfit off too

Not as the bride.

The dress was from M and S but isn't on the site now. It is just above the knee, scoop necked with long sort of puff ball sleeves. It has a tie at the back to give a waist.

Was also going wear black opaque tights. Have good legs and huge norks.

Wow that sounds like a brill outfit, and hair sounds great too.

Sounds perfect for a small classy wedding. Ger a bag and some accessories to match the shoes and you'll be upstaging the bride!

I too have great legs and lovely, big boobies. LOVE to show off both at every opportunity! go girl!

sounds really great - but won't you be BOILIING HOT???

Not sure about wearing black to a wedding.

I have worn balck for weddings a few times - didn't think it was a no-no, but I was a goth in my informative years.

'formative'

I don't think its a huge no no but it is a wedding, a time for celebration.

yes sounds fine - have worn black to many weddings and so long as you do Chic not Funereal you'll be fine.

get a lovely teal bag to go with the shoes

Thanks. I'm going to go for it because I'm on maternity leave and am sticking to very tight budget to allow me to stay off for longer.

I don't think I'll be hot - it's only 4 weeks away!

I did a black dress to my BIL's wedding. Had my hair like you described and wore teal shoes and a hair piece which had teal feathers in.

I think it sounds lovely.

Think it sounds nice and chic but maybe add a bit more colour, perhaps a large pendant or earrings with some colour/s, or a hair accessory, just sth to give it a lift and stop it from looking too dark. Also might sheer black tights look less serious than opaque, esp if you have good pins? Enjoy the wedding...
