Super stylish ladies opinions sought on this for wedding guest....

[Bellsandwhistle]

So be honest and let me know what you think. Also what would you think if you saw this on someone? Who do you think would wear this to a wedding? Eg age etc

@Alwayscheerful Yes that's another beautiful dress! If you have the right skin tone though..
What colour hair and skin tone do you have?

The last one you showed in the dusky blue is really lovely! Very chic.

I felt like my comments were a bit heavy handed earlier and I want to clarify that you DONT have a big bum, but the pleats and position of that dress wasn’t doing you any favours.

@always I love it, the only thing maybe to consider is shoes— I wonder if it’s an outdoor wedding you would need a wedge and if a wedge would ruin that dress? Or a block heel would work.
I do love it- what’s your colouring like?

If you really love it maybe try it in a size smaller? It might be more flattering.

Love the tb in green. Very Megan
Markle - hope that’s a compliment!! Agree would need block heels - maybe tan?

Pineapple couldn’t get into a size smaller! Is very fitted round waist.

*Sunshining thanks for your virtual shopping!!

I don’t think it looks bridal. If you wore that to my wedding, I wouldn’t be bothered at all. My SIL wore white to mine and I didn’t bat an eyelid - she didn’t have a bunch of flowers, a ‘proper’ hair do or a face full of make-up so she very clearly wasn’t the bride.

@Bellsandwhistle
I have block heels in tan!
Do you think a Clutch bag?

@TheSunIsShining19 and @Atalune
I think I am winter jewel, hourglass dark hair, I wear a lot of soft greens but look dreadful in brown.

I think it's beautiful, not too bridal if the bride is having a very bridal dress if that makes sense.
Maybe coloured accessories but go for it.

I know you are returning it OP but I was busy searching this image as it's a similar shape. perhaps look out for some 40s/50s styles if you like this one?

always yes a tan clutch

Don't send it back OP - it looks lovely on and you'll look nothing like the bride in her dress. I don't get the level of outrage from some on this thread. We've a cousin (Irish) who shares your sense of style and I could see her wearing that dress! As a wedding guest, not the bride.

I like the blue Reiss dress.

too pale?

too asymmetric?

too informal-ish?

too restrained?

1 live navy big maybe not for July wedding unless o was dying about the dress
2 nice enough but not loving it plus prefer not patterned
3 would be horrendous on me amd show lumps and bumps!! Can’t wear that shape at all.
4 nice enough but patterned and not wow. Do like rixo though and I know usually patterned.

The first one should be the pale pink version, but the link goes to the dark dress automatically. The pale pink is lovely imo.

Can’t wear that colour of pink as drains me. Also I don’t think it’s dressy enough!

Carla Ruiz? I've worn her outfits to weddings as a guest. ( and I wasn't the MOB).
Modern and often come with a jacket.

Like the first but not the other two but thanks.

Think I’ll avoid any wedding or occasion boutiques now!

Tavannach This is what we were talking about. None of the dresses you posted are dressy enough for an Irish wedding. Christening maybe. And a guest at a communion maybe (certainly not the mother of the child). It's a big, dressy minefield .

Livvylovesgin I'm the opposite to the Op. I hated the first but loved the other two.
