Do you like this wedding dress?

And do you think it would have that heart stopping simplicity which I see in it, anyway, in real life? It would just be for a small register office winter wedding.

Love it

ChequerBoard · 15/05/2020 22:15

Sorry not keen. Makes me think of the Handmaids Tale, a wedding dress for a Gilead Econowife perhaps!

Victoria6386 · 15/05/2020 22:16

I actually really like it

IcyWind · 15/05/2020 22:16

Very nice

ElectricTonight · 15/05/2020 22:17

It's a no from me.

OhCaptain · 15/05/2020 22:20

Please don’t buy that John Lewis one. 😬

Koppa2Toppa · 15/05/2020 22:28

I love it, simple and elegant. It would be nice to be able to see the back though, maybe email them. That John Lewis one is awful.

StartupRepair · 15/05/2020 22:28

How does it work with an institutional front and low cut back? I love simple but think there is much nicer out there.

eaglejulesk · 15/05/2020 22:28

It's lovely in my opinion. It's simple and elegant. Ignore the posters who have felt it necessary to post unpleasant remarks. Flowers

StayAlert · 15/05/2020 22:28

It's so annoying there's no picture of the back or it being worn on a model!

Having looked at the other la redoute bridal dresses where there ARE pictures of them in models, they all look ill fitting and a bit cheap and nasty imho.

I think there's much nicer dresses out there (that you can see being worn!)

Hollyhobbi · 15/05/2020 22:30

No. Maybe in a different colour? It looks like an old fashioned nurses uniform.

FAQs · 15/05/2020 22:35

Difficult to say because the photo lacks any concept of the back and what it’s like on, it could be stunning, can you order it and decide when you receive it, could post pictures in here ?

DPotter · 15/05/2020 22:36

I'm with Bertucci
*OK I guess, if you're going for a postulant nun vibe.

But very, very drab indeed.*

The fit would have to be absolutely perfect. And your accessories & flowers would have to be stellar.
Sorry - it's a No from me

Peacenquiet2 · 15/05/2020 22:37

Reminds me of old fashioned nurses dress or milkmaid, so not to my taste

pilates · 15/05/2020 22:40

I thought Audrey Hepburn when I saw it, particularly with the hairstyle and makeup. The simplicity could look stunning on the right person.

Confusedbutheyho · 15/05/2020 22:42

I like the long sleeves for winter.

I can picture a thin lady wearing it with an elegant up do and a simple bouquet.

Happymum12345 · 15/05/2020 22:45

I love it.

overnightangel · 15/05/2020 22:46

Are you getting married or turning Amish?

RaspberryToupee · 15/05/2020 22:47

As there’s only one photo, and it isn’t a flattering photo, it’s too hard to tell whether this will look better on someone. I think there are a lot of potential areas with the dress that could be unattractive. If you’re quite busty, the dress probably isn’t going to work for you. If you have a small waist, this dress probably won’t show it off. If you’re shorter, this dress will probably swamp you.

I think it’s one of those dresses - it will either look fantastic on you or it will look like a nightie. It’s not a dress that the majority of people will look OK in but for a handful it will look amazing. You just have to decide if you want to bite the bullet (but you can always return it).

NeneValley · 15/05/2020 22:55

No it looks like an embalming gown.

It might look great on Giselle the supermodel, but not convinced lesser mortals could pull it off !

Viviennemary · 15/05/2020 22:56

Not keen. Sleeves are awful But you can't tell really till you try it on.

MoltonSilver · 15/05/2020 23:27

Without knowing what length it is or what the back is like it's impossible to tell.

BadTimesAtTheElRoyale · 15/05/2020 23:30

I think it is beautiful but you would need a statement headpiece with either lots of flowers or jewels and a statement bouquet.

REdReDRE · 16/05/2020 00:03

I think it's very plain.

cushioncovers · 16/05/2020 00:07

Nope looks like a nightdress, it's boring. Sorry
