Too bridesmaidy?

Love this dress and want to wear it to a wedding - does it look too much like a bridesmaid dress do you think?
For context I don't I don't know the colour theme of the wedding and would probably 'casual' it up a bit as it is a bit more formal than my usual taste.
Any thoughts welcome! Thanks.

I'd assume you were/wanted to be a bridesmaid! Sorry

Too much of a bridesmaid dress for me, but will depend a lot on the colour theme of the wedding?

I like it. With the right accessories and hair I think it would be fine. Strappy sandals, small beaded clutch bag, delicate jewellery, "bridesmaidy" hair etc all nos.

Thanks for the opinions so far! What about this one that is slightly more casual? www.tesco.com/direct/izabel-london-lace-cap-sleeve-maxi-dress/462-4022.prd?source=others
I just mainly like that it will be flattering at the waist really

I prefer the Tesco dress but depends on the fabric. The asos one has a lots of fabric bunching at the waist which might not be flattering.

It is one of the most popular bridesmaid dresses at the moment so I would avoid

It is a bit bridesmaidy really. How would you casual it up?

I think full length dresses on wedding guests looks OTT.

Avoid long dresses and you'll be fine. Both of those dresses would look like you've come in a dress you wore a bridesmaid.

I wore that dress in silver for my brother's wedding. I was a bridesmaid.

Very comfy and lovely dress though.
