This dress?

[peg90]

I'm wearing this dress to a wedding at the weekend but is it a bit wintery/Morticia Adams?

I'll be wearing it regardless as I've nothing else to wear but what shoes and bag would look best with it?

Thanks

Is it black or dark navy?

That looks black and not really appropriate for a wedding.

I would choose something else - it looks more like a Halloween outfit than a wedding guest outfit 😂

It's black. That's what I was worried about

It looks fine OP. Just wear bright accessories.

Ah, that's a tricky one as bright coloured accessories will look a bit tacky with a black dress, but you definitely need something to lift it. How about a jewel coloured wrap, and maybe gold or silver shoes?

I like it.

I would wear nude shoes and nude bag. But I hate colour with black.

What's your plans for hair? Do you have a fascinator?

Coloured accessories will be tacky, don't do that.

If you really need to wear it then I'd do maybe a silver pashmina or jacket and silver shoes.

Have you really not got anything else? A pair of tailored trousers, you can then pick up a suitable top quite cheaply on line and wear with heels.

I'd prefer to avoid bright colours but could easily try some.
I have no idea about hair either really not any good at this stuff!

I wouldn’t go for gold/silver, too Christmassy imo, something bright coloured rather.

It might look good and appropriate with a little black bolero jacket or blazer?

I don't like it sorry, maybe yes for a night out but not for a wedding..no matter how it's accesorised.

I think if it was a December or January wedding you could just about get away with it with nude or silver accessories, but it's only October. I would get something different.

I went to a wedding recently and there were women in black or dark coloured dresses. In fact there was a mix of styles / colours / dresses / trousers , I don’t think this dress would be out of place .

It will be classic with , nude accessories .

Do you have anything else? That really does look quite funereal - it’s very Italian widow.

It's a nice dress. Tbh it's not remotely morticia or goth. It's just a black lacy dress. You could wear as others have said some nude/buff heels similar bag. I don't know about its appropriateness for a wedding but it wouldn't bother me if worn to my wedding, probably because I'm a goth!

Nice dress. Plenty of people wear black dresses to weddings it's only on MN that it's no allowed! Do you already have any shoes and a bag you could use? I think silver or grey would look good.

I think it would look lovely with very bright accessories.

I think it's lovely and wouldn't think twice if somebody wore that to my wedding in Feb. I'd go with either nude or silvery/glittery accessories if you have them.

It's just a dress, not gothy at all. It's fine!

I think it's a beautiful dress and would go with nude shoes, nude bag and very simple gold jewellery and if your hair is long enough have it up but loosely and if not have it down and curled 😊

I also agree that plenty of people wear black to weddings these days. I think it's quite old fashioned to say it's not allowed? I agree with nude accessories, possibly light gold jewellery. It's a nice dress!

(On a side note, I hate it when an OP clearly says they have nothing else to wear but people still ask if they really don't. It's not helpful).

I've been to a couple of weddings wearing black. Wore it once with red accessories and then a different dress with silver. It was March, didn't look Christmassy or like I was going to a funeral. I only got compliments. Go for it OP.

Pale pashmina -baby pink or anything that softens the look

Thanks everyone, I've ordered another dress (might also be black). I don't have a problem wearing black to weddings, just thought it was a bit much.

Will see how I get on with this other one otherwise it'll be that with nude shoes.

Thanks again
