Wedding outfit

[Unexpectedbaby]

Me and DH have 2 weddings/wedding parties to attend this year, May and June, and I have just seen this in the & other stories sale and need persuading to order now for then.

Thinking it is pretty perfect for a wedding right?

Well...I think it’s fine for a wedding, but it’s just a bit...I don’t know, flat somehow? Makes that gorgeous model look a bit non descript. Sorry, it’s just not to my taste. You’d probably not like what I would choose, it’s so subjective

I like it but those shoes are awful and it would look a lot better if the model was stood up straight (I know that makes me sound like my mother....)

Order it and see how it looks on you?

Um...no, I don’t think so! Sorry! It’s a bit dowdy and meh.

I’m not sure the colour would suit for spring/summer weddings either!

I don't think red is really appropriate for a wedding 😬

The way the model is standing makes it really difficult to see the cut. I still prefer to shop in physical stores where you can try it on. I can't afford to just buy something in multiple sizes just to see, though so maybe I'm biased

I don't like it. Pretty boring.

How old are you OP? It's a bit, erm, frumpy. Brings to mind Phoebe from "Goodnight Sweetheart".

@spam88, why is red not appropriate for a wedding?

Lordy if red’s unsuitable for a wedding and white or black are also out there aren’t going to be many colours left! Especially when you have to avoid looking like a wannabe bridesmaid which rules whatever their colour is out.

I can’t see why red itself would be an issue. This dress however is a smidge frumpy. Sorry OP.

Red grabs the attention of the eye in photos. A good photographer will make sure you're out of shot. That may bother some people, it may not bother others. Just to indulge in a little truism there.

Yeah photos is my issue 😬 our photographers mentioned that they tend to black and white any photos where there's a guest wearing red.

Thank you all. This is what I needed honest opinions. DP is useless with this haha.

I'm only 27 and wouldn't class my normal style as frumpy so will steer clear

I just wouldn’t wear red to a summer event!

OP, you can get something much more flattering and less dowdy I’m sure! Any other choices?

It’s a funny length and quite frumpy.

I’m sure we can help you do better.

I've not really started looking too much if I'm honest. Just saw this and liked it. Wanted opinions so I knew I wasn't just going to impulse buy and then dislike it come May
