Wedding outfit opinions please

I've a wedding in July and struggling to find something to wear. I've seen this dress in monsoon and think it's OK, but feedback on it hasn't been great so I'm asking for wider opinions... I'm not great at picking clothes at all.

Mum says it's to frumpy, sister says it's too old for me and will age me (I'm 31) and friend says it isn't fancy enough for a wedding.

I'd be wearing similar shoes to the photo.

I think that dress is lovely and suitable for a wedding.

@Hiphopboppertybop99 Thank you! I bought it and it's even lovelier in real life, and a very flattering shape

I think it looks a bit frumpy tbh but that might be just on the model. The colour is nice

@BrandNewHeretic - fantastic so pleased for you. Where did you buy it from if you don't mind me asking?

@hiphopboppertybop99 It's from monsoon, it was in their sale and only a few left so I'm not sure if they still have it. It came in yellow too

@BrandNewHeretic - typical sold out! Thank you anyway. Enjoy your wedding x

Its very pretty and versitile - the sort of thing you can dress up for a wedding or down for a less formal event. What are you wearing it with?

That’s really lovely
It’s perfect for a wedding x

I love that! I went to a wedding last week and trawled the shops for an outfit - if I’d seen that I would have bought it. I’m 33 and not frumpy!

Eleoura · 04/07/2021 22:36

Not frumpy at all and completely suitable for a wedding. Not white, not super tight, has sleeves, tits not hanging out, not mini!!! The ones that say that its frumpy, what style do they think is more suitable?

Is a side, John Lewis have a sale on currently too if this one doesn't turn out as you hope.

I said it's a bit frumpy but it could be the model. I just think the styling is a little off eg the buttons & the lace isn't great.

If I wanted lace I would wear something like this, it's just sharper but if I was going to Summer wedding I would want a fun & bright Farm Rio dress this year. But the OP may hate that.
