Hi! Making this thread as I like this dress & have bought it but would love some honest opinions on 1) if this dress is nice
2) if this dress looks nice on me/my body shape.
It’s for a small wedding reception, I was thinking strappy heels and hair either in a bun or to one side (like vintage curls).
Thank you in advance!

Yes its lovely and suits your figure very well
Hoohaahoo · 21/08/2020 17:07
It’s a bit bridesmaidy but otherwise nice from what I can see.
It would look better when you’re all glammed up I’m sure.
Swallowzandamazons · 21/08/2020 17:10
I think it's very elegant. The colour's pretty, too.
Greenbks · 21/08/2020 17:12
Yes! I thought it might be too bridesmaid- y but it’s my brother in law who’s getting married and It’s an Indian wedding (bride is wearing a white dress though) and people in attendance will be very glammed up - so don’t want to be under dressed!
MrsSpenserGregson · 21/08/2020 17:15
Looks lovely, it really suits your figure. And your face is very pretty 
Mooserp · 21/08/2020 17:18
Yes! Fits you really well.
What colour is your hair?
loutypips · 21/08/2020 17:22
Love the style of the dress, and it suits you, but not a great colour. It might just be rubbish changing room lighting though!
Lottapianos · 21/08/2020 17:24
Its gorgeous, love the colour
damnthatanxiety · 21/08/2020 17:25
beautiful dress and it looks perfect on you. It is also glam enough and vivid enough a colour for an Indian wedding. Just stunning
Elouera · 21/08/2020 17:33
I wouldnt wear it to a religious, Catholic wedding in a church, but sounds perfect for the wedding your are attending. I cant tell the colour though? Dark salmon? What colour accessories are you going for? I'd take a cardigan/pashmina too incase you get chilly. Where is it from?
Elouera · 21/08/2020 17:33
Sorry, the fit looks great on your figure too.
Kote · 21/08/2020 17:42
Yes it looks great on you 
BraveGoldie · 21/08/2020 17:44
It's lovely OP and looks great on you! What's the brand?
Uhtredswoman · 21/08/2020 17:56
I LOVE it!! And it looks fab on you ❤️
Where is it from @Greenbks ?
Palavah · 21/08/2020 18:01
Like it. I have a dress that colour and it looks great with old gold but also navy or teal accessories
Onacleardayyoucansee · 21/08/2020 18:02
I was going to say it looks a bit big?
Maybe a size down?
Jessbow · 21/08/2020 18:24
Honestly? I am not keen.
You look a bit kinda wrapped up, not sure , might be too big.
Makes you look a bit big in the bust dept, might be the camera angle/bra

It’s from ted baker! Here’s the link
www.tedbaker.com/uk/Womens/Clothing/Dresses/GABIE-One-shoulder-drape-midi-dress-Mid-Pink/p/157697-XMID-PINK
To answer a few questions:
The colour is hard to describe but I would say pink. Ted baker have described it as ‘mid pink’
Hair colour is dark brown.
I have no idea what accessories I’ll be pairing it with yet. Thanks @Palavah I’ll try it with good or real accessories. @Elouera Good call on the pashmina /cover. I wouldn’t have thought of it until closer to the time! I will have to make sure I buy something to go over it soon.
Thank you for all the comments! Looks like majority like it but I get some of the concerns with the dress since I have them too, like it’s a little loose at the front but I can’t get a size down otherwise it’ll be too tight in the bum area. I have a big bum 
And @Jessbow I have thought that too, that I may look a little too wrapped up. I will try it on again in a few weeks - And might get a back up dress just in case!

That's really tacky and nasty.
Delatron · 21/08/2020 18:50
Definitely looks good on you. Was going to ask hair colour as it wouldn’t suit a blonde! Dark brown hair will work well though.
I think gold accessories.
nzeire · 21/08/2020 18:52
Stunning! Beautiful figure too!
ChaChaCha2012 · 21/08/2020 18:54
I don't dislike it, but the material and drape is very similar to my dressing gown. A very nice dressing gown, but nonetheless.
You have a beautiful figure. There are nicer dresses out there.
hastingsmua1 · 21/08/2020 18:55
Dunno. It’s okay but I think you could do better (if you wanted to).
I’m not sure I’d wear that to a wedding reception. It’s more of an evening out dress.
NoemiaElara · 21/08/2020 19:02
I think it's beautiful! And the colour is beautiful! All round beautiful!
Ughmaybenot · 21/08/2020 19:05
It’s okay, but that’s about it, it’s not anything amazing. I don’t like the one shoulder design, I never like that style.
