I don't think it's dated, although think it would be better without the belt. Maybe a bit work-ish though?

I think it looks lovely as is fine for wedding reception! I like it with the belt. What colour shoes though, black shoes as well could make it a bit work like!

Not dated but reminds me of an outfit you might wear to work. Not a wedding type outfit.

I'm not keen on black for weddings, it's a lovely dress and looks stunning on you though.

I've got some beautiful dune gold heels and accessorise clutch bag that's gold with lots of glitzy bits -both nicer than they sound!

Currently trying to find said items!

I think that's perfect then wth gold accessories. Black is absolutely fine for evening receptions at weddings, wouldn't necessarily for the day but definitely evening. Loads of evening guests wore black to mine!

It's absolutely wholly inappropriate to wear black to a wedding.

One of my friends got married in black wedding gown. Didn't seem to bother her.

Depends on the wedding.

Work or funeral. Don't think it's wedding-y at all.

My bridesmaids wore black! If it's the reception as in evening do it's fine but not 100% sold for a wedding ceremony/breakfast.

Actually yes I've also worn black as a bridesmaid.

Can we see it jazzed up with your bling?

Wearing black as a bride or bridesmaid is a different matter, because that's the brides choice.

Wearing black as a guest is rude and inappropriate.

A few gold accessories will not fix that.

It's different when it's for the wedding reception.

Black with gold/colour is fine.

Wearing black as a guest is rude and inappropriate.

Only in your opinion. I can't remember the last time I was at a wedding when there weren't a few guests in black. The only person who'd have a problem with black would be Great Aunt Maud.

Its evening only What , I can't see any pearl clutching going on.

Hopefully the bling will lift it op, as it does look a bit workey.

It's not pearl clutching; its etiquette.

Thankfully nobody was so rude at my wedding.

Untwist your knickers.

I think the black rule is less strict for a night do. Especially if the wearer adds colour in the shape of shoes,belt, bag.

I bet the bride would rather black than white

I love that dress

I've worn black (with black accessories) to about 10 weddings. I like black!

I think it's nice for just evening reception OP

Rude and inappropriate to wear black to a wedding? In 2017? Even the Daily Telegraph only says don't wear head to toe black (which OP isn't intending anyway!)

It's etiquette

Snort. Ok then. We don't all subscribe to the 1950's you know.
