It's for a spring wedding. I'm slim but 5'2 so it'll be below the knee on me. I've just turned 40. I haven't been to a wedding in over a decade so struggling to find a style. Honest opinions. It hasn't arrived yet so I can't post of picture of it on (which would have been helpful!).

It'll either be a dogs dinner of a disaster or really lovely. I'll let you all know in 2 days!

Love it!

Alsohuman · 04/05/2021 19:08

It’s lovely. I really like it.

MommySharkDooDooDooDoo · 04/05/2021 19:12

Lovely! I am your body shape antithesis I think; tall and booby. I would look a STATE in that dress, so, I'm predicting you will look gorgeous!

StCharlotte · 04/05/2021 19:17

Very cute dress (who the hell is anyone seeing white?!).

Fairyliz · 04/05/2021 19:17

Sorry think it’s a bit too fussy, there’s too much going on especially if you are fairly small.

StCharlotte · 04/05/2021 19:18

How not who 🙄

Nataliafalka · 04/05/2021 19:20

I think it’s fabulous

PrimeraVez · 04/05/2021 19:22

It will either be fabulous or bloody awful and you won’t know until you try it on 😄

I do think it will require some seriously high shoes though to balance out the proportions otherwise I think it could look a bit frumpy or eccentric.

bonfireheart · 04/05/2021 19:32

OP, this is gorgeous!!! Don't decide until you've tried it on, with the heels you plan on wearing and doing your hair to get the full effect. Really pretty dress.

ElphabaTWitch · 04/05/2021 19:35

It’s pretty but think it might overwhelm your small frame.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 04/05/2021 19:41

I'm not keen on it sorry - it looks very straight laced and the high neck makes me come out in a sweat just looking at it. I guess we need to see it on you not a petite model!

Tillytess · 04/05/2021 19:59

It has a 'Vampire's Wife' vibe about it. I wouldn't wear it as I like something more forgiving style wise. Should be fine if you are very slim though..

Bluntness100 · 04/05/2021 20:15

I like the shape but honestly I don’t like the peplum frilled waist, frilly neckline and shoulders, it’s a bit too fussy for me.

Pieceofpurplesky · 04/05/2021 20:20

It could be really warm and that dress looks as if it is a sweat infuser!

murmurlade · 04/05/2021 20:30

I really like the dress but it's so very nearly white. I know it's a bit grey but if someone wore it to a wedding I was at, sorry but I would definitely STILL think 'pick any other colour'

Myglueattack · 04/05/2021 20:49

Love it!

Lowlight282 · 04/05/2021 21:38

murmurlade it's 100% grey, no mistaking it for white. When it comes I'll post a picture of it next to something white.

I agree with PP that it might be too fussy, we'll see.

I like it but would be concerned it might be too long on you

StellaLeonte · 05/05/2021 13:43

It’s absolutely gorgeous!

Lowlight282 · 07/05/2021 15:41

It's arrived. I really like it, the fabric is soft and has a little bit of stretch to it. It's not white but I would call it grey either, it's a kind of bluey/greeny grey. I dont like the sleeves, they're too long and baggy. I've rolled them up in the picture but I'd get them properly altered if I decide to wear it. Please excuse the poor quality selfie. I would get a better nude bra and the accessories are just what I've got at home.

Should I wear it? Additional bonus is that it only cost be £3 (preloved)

It’s really lovely, you look great.

Have a lovely time, I can’t imagine how much fun it will be after that year!

murmurlade · 07/05/2021 15:47

OP I was very much in the 'it's nearly white, don't do it' club, but in real life this is BLUE and you look lovely!

Babysharkdododont · 07/05/2021 15:51

I like the dress, but I think the way you've accessorised it is really dated, sorry Blush
