Is this dress suitable...

[Happyland8]

For a wedding I'm going to in Spain this summer?

Thanks

It is a Catholic wedding?

Yes.

Nope, it's not a religious service.

no its mostly white.
choose a different fucking colour.
it's really not that hard.

A little harsh lady!

Any other opinions?

I'm not keen.

The length seems awkward and the back looks cheap.

It’s too much white and too much flesh on show at the back for my tastes. Totally depends on the crowd at the wedding though, as I think you can get away with anything at lots of weddings! If I knew the other guests and knew they were a bit more relaxed then I’d wear it. If I didn’t know the other guests OR if I thought it might be a more formal / upmarket affair, I’d stick to certain ‘rules’, (no back or shoulders out, not too short, no boobs hanging out and nothing where the base colour is white / cream). I don’t normally abide by fashion ‘rules’, but at weddings where it’s someone else’s day I tend to. As I say, depends on the wedding though and also your confidence levels - ie would you care or could you style it out if anyone gave you one of these ?

its white! so definitely a no no.

If there are many Spanish guests, you may feel a little underdressed. Even though there is no church service, Spanish people typically go all out for weddings with very expensive, often handmade / altered and sometimes designer outfits. And almost everyone wears colour.

Here are a few very quickly Googled photos to show you the sort of thing Spanish women tend to wear to weddings.

I don't mind the colour but the back is pretty awful, weird awkward cut out / fastening, too many frills and clearly see through at the bottom.

It looks nice from the front so I see where you were coming from.

Do you like it, OP? Do you feel comfortable in it?

That's the only thing that matters.

Its a lovely dress but I agree that Spanish weddings tend to br very formal...quite a few ladies in long gowns especially if its an evening one.

Its lovely. Ignore the old bitches

Now, now @Caroline! Not that it matters, but I’m only 34. A bitch I may be, but I’m not that old yet. And anyway, don’t be ageist.

I wouldn’t wear white.

Too white and too naked at the back.

Gorgeous dress but maybe too white for a wedding?

Some people are a little harsh though, you are asking as I’m assuming you aren’t 100% on it anyway so must already have doubts.

Very harsh comments but it is too white. I'm not keen on the back either

I think it's lovely. I also don't think it's too white. I had guests at my wedding in cream and white &
I didn't bat an eye lid. I've never met a bride IRL who objects to these things. My only issue with the frock is as others have said, if it's a formal do then it may look a bit casual.

It's not a Spanish wedding as such, just a British wedding in Spain. The bride is definitely not a prude and there will be plenty there with some cleavage/legs out etc. My brother is the groom so I'll know a lot of the guests.

It's not great for a wedding tbh.

I like the dress but not for a wedding. GameOldBirdsz is wrong, for a weddding it doesn’t just matter whether you like it and feel comfortable. It also matters that it’s appropriate and fits with social etiquette. I think it’s too white for a wedding and I would be annoyed if a guest had worn this at my wedding.

I nearly wore a white dress with flowers on to a wedding once. A friend told me not to. She was right and I’m glad I didn’t. I cringe to look back and think of the faux pas I nearly committed.
