Have I lost the plot completely with this dress as a wedding guest?

Is there any way that this dress could be styled to make it suitable to wear to wedding? I'd size down for a start. I saw Trinny wearing it on her facebook page here and thought the colour was gorgeous.
Am I mad or could it possibly work?

The sleeves are very very different on Trinny's. I reckon she has had a dressmaker alter it...

LemonAddict · 22/08/2019 19:37

Oh wow - I don’t like it at all on the model but I really like it on Trinny!

LemonAddict · 22/08/2019 19:38

^Oakmaiden* I was thinking exactly the same flicking between the two - Trinny’s had the sleeves made less puffy.

It depends how fashion forward the congregation is likely to be. A wedding between a PR exec and musician at a super cool venue in Manchester? Maybe! A super traditional church wedding in the Cotswolds? Maybe not!

Fuck no it looks like a big blue duvet.

Imonlymoominafterall · 22/08/2019 19:41

She's altered it... massively...

BertrandRussell · 22/08/2019 19:42

Trinny’s changed the sleeves and the fit. Looks like a different dress.

AntennaReborn · 22/08/2019 19:43

I think it's a bit casual for a wedding, unless it's a really casual wedding reception

Kaddm · 22/08/2019 19:45

It fits Trinny round the bust so she gets away with it. It does not fit the model around the bust, therefore the whole thing looks like a massive tent on her. The model is extremely attractive with a great figure and the dress doesn’t look good on her. I’d say Trinny has had the sleeves re-cut at the very least. What do you like about the dress? It is a nice colour but aside from that, I don’t like it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/08/2019 19:47

Erm...sorry but I think it's horrible!

Russell19 · 22/08/2019 19:47

It's either way too big for the model and actually fits trinny or she's had it altered. I like it on trinny.

ChicCroissant · 22/08/2019 19:49

It is a nice colour, but the cut and style are not - Trinny's dress looks completely different around the bodice and sleeves tbh.

HermioneWeasley · 22/08/2019 19:49

It looks like a bedspread

MrsJakeLovell · 22/08/2019 19:50

That is neither stylish nor beautiful..I and genuinely befuddled that anyone would look at that and say hep, that's the frock for me 😂

Unless you're Grayson Perry tbf...

Stuckforthefourthtime · 22/08/2019 19:51

Are you extremely skinny and tanned, with a good tailor? Trinny is all of the above and I think that's why it's working on her...

Tableclothing · 22/08/2019 19:51

Would suit a 3 year old...

LittleMissNaice · 22/08/2019 19:52

I'm turning into my mother, but all I can see is the creases.

pooopypants · 22/08/2019 19:52

It looks like she's wearing a duvet cover......

rosedream · 22/08/2019 19:54

She has had it completely altered not just the sleeves. She's also had the bodice made to be fitted and a lot of width taken out the skirt.

It still isn't something I like in either link.

Lindy2 · 22/08/2019 19:54

I really think you could find something nicer than that.

MrsMoastyToasty · 22/08/2019 19:57

It's a bit Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie.

MrsBertBibby · 22/08/2019 19:58

I take it you resent being invited to this wedding?

CTRL · 22/08/2019 19:58

I don’t like it on either Trinny or the model

Looks way too casual for a wedding aswell

SallyOMalley · 22/08/2019 19:59

Putting the dress to one side for a moment, what's with Trinny's overuse of the singular? I can just about cope with 'a shoe', but 'a flashy glass'?! They're sunglasses!

Back to the dress: S'OK. Not sure I'd wear it for a wedding, though.

SnuggyBuggy · 22/08/2019 19:59

Are they the same dress? It looks hideous on the model
