Would it be weird to wear this as a wedding dress?

Here ...if the wedding is basically a relaxed garden party at home (after ceremony)

Does it look like a nightie? I’ve trawled through so many white dresses and cant bring myself to wear one. I do like the Self Portrait one though so I could possibly wear that if this other one is a bit ‘out there’

You can wear what you like - it's your wedding day but

Does it look like a nightie?

Yes.

PalePinkSwan · 12/05/2018 16:39

Yes to me that looks like a negligee sorey

It’s the 97% polyester that would put me off. I don’t think it would feel special enough 🤔

I think it’s the lace combined with the silky fabric that does say ‘nightie’ to me! Hmm, back to drawing board...

Story but my first thought was “nighty”. It’s the lace around the neckline with the straps which make it look like one.

Which is the Self Portrait one?

It does look like a nightie to me.

OhCheersForThat · 12/05/2018 16:41

It looks like a cheap nightie, OP (sorry).

But YANBU to want to go a bit left field and wear something other than a white dress. Your wedding day - wear what you love!

Hellywelly10 · 12/05/2018 16:41

I like it

ForkIt · 12/05/2018 16:41

TBH it doesn’t look like a £70 dress with the material, it looks cheaper and I don’t think would. Hang well or flatter. I’d try Monsoon for pretty stuff that looks a bit nicer.

NC4Now · 12/05/2018 16:41

Yep, nightie. Sorry.

meel · 12/05/2018 16:42

Here is the Self Portrait one

I saw this lovely dress on ASOS too, but it sold out within minutes of me finding it!

That one is much nicer!!

PetulantPolecat · 12/05/2018 16:44

What about this? m.asos.com/tfnc/tfnc-wrap-front-maxi-bridesmaid-dress-with-embellished-shoulder/prd/8869736?clr=ice&SearchQuery=bridesmaid&gridcolumn=2&gridrow=5&gridsize=2&pge=1&pgesize=72&totalstyles=892

It’s not white, but it’s got that relaxed beach wedding Grecian vibe. Sandals and an elaborate flower hairpiece?

Wildlingofthewest · 12/05/2018 16:44

Obviously you can wear anything you want to

But yes, this dress looks like a nightie! Also looks really cheap and a bit tacky. There are far nicer dresses you can get for the price of this!

PetulantPolecat · 12/05/2018 16:44

I love the self portrait one. Looks beautiful

meel · 12/05/2018 16:46

I saw that one Pet but sadly I don’t suit wider straps which rules out quite a lot!

Keep an eye on the Asos one. Once someone has put it in their 'basket' Asos saves the item for them for an hour. If they don't purchase it within the hour Asos puts it back in stock. The last 2 ones are lovely btw x

MeanTangerine · 12/05/2018 16:46

The first one will crackle with static. All the other dresses linked to look good. That Self - Portrait one will have your granddaughters swooning over how stylish grandma was.

meel · 12/05/2018 16:48

I’m just having the one bridesmaid and this is what I’ve got for her (she’s tall and slim and will look bloody gorgeous in anything) but I’m not sure if the Self Portrait dress is the same style - what do you think?

OP posts:
Ginkypig · 12/05/2018 16:48

The self portrait one is lovely.

DerelictWreck · 12/05/2018 16:49

The self portrait one is beautiful!

MynameisJune · 12/05/2018 16:49

The first dress looks like a nightie sorry!

The self portrait one is lovely but not very summery.

What about this?
