Ok, so I'm kind of stuck with it as I've already bought it and the returns limit on the receipt has been and gone, but is it ok to wear this to a wedding?

I know it's black, but it's not too black, right? And that's an outdated rule anyway, yes?

That dress is gorgeous and is perfectly fine for a wedding. I've seen loads of people in black for s wedding anyway.

It's beautiful! My sister in law worn a dress very similar this weekend to her brother in laws wedding. Don't worry, it's absolutely fine to wear this to a wedding x

I was expecting to say 'No,you can't' but that was before I clicked on the link. It's a gorgeous dress and I'm sure you'll get loads of compliments at the wedding.

Lovely dress. Do you have a jacket in mind?

Beautiful dress, if at all worried just make sure the accessories are lighter coloured. You'll have compliments coming out your ears! xx

Thank you all so much, I feel so much better about it now!

I've got a 'statement' necklace in the same colours as the skirt to break up the black at the top and was going to wear a light coloured pashmina too.

Phew, you guys are awesome!

I think with a lighter coloured wrap or cardigan that would be fine for a wedding. Gorgeous.

I hate buying new wedding outfits as get stressed that they'll be a guest in the same one! This happened to me once and I went to TK Maxx between the ceremony and reception to buy a new one
