Could I wear this dress to a wedding?

[MiseryFire]

I have a wedding to attend at the end of the month and I'm trying not to buy anything new. I've never worn this dress and I find it quite flattering, but I'm worried about the colour, is it a bit too black for a wedding?

They are both so pretty, but definitely the first one.

Another vote for the first one. It's gorgeous!

The first one with yellow accessories

I think they're both lovely and fine for a wedding. If pushed, I also prefer the first though!

First one

First one, with bright shoes etc will look lovely

Absolutely, with a lovely fascinator and buttonhole

Both fine. I wouldn’t get a fascinator though, you’re not of pensionable age.

I think the first one looks perfect for a wedding.

First one is fab, you look stunning in it!

Either is fine but if weather is lovely I would opt for 2, if a bit miserable the first one is better (more autumnal)

I think both dresses look good on you I actually think the second dress is more flattering but agree the first one does look more formal and dressy.

It depends on how upmarket the wedding is really. I would wear the second dress but I'm quite a casual person so that would be dressed up for me.

With the first one I would match accessories in with the colours in the skirt.

Second dress looks more flattering. You are clearly slim and have amazing legs but the first dress falls in a really odd way, and just doesn't look good (absolutely the cut of the dress and not you OP) . Could you dress the second dress up a bit (smart cardi or shawl) if the wedding is very formal?

Absolutely the first one. The second one’s too casual.

The first one.

I definitely prefer the second one, but it depends how dressy the wedding is.

I think if the weather is crap wear the first one, if the weather is nice wear the second one.

First one is really nice, pick colourful accessories if you are worried about it being black

I like the first one-it’s certainly not too black, but it’s quite wide necked? I’d worry I couldn’t wear a bra with it and the shoulders would fall off!

Thank you all so much. I will have to get a strapless bra for it (no mean feat, I'm still breastfeeding my 9 month old!) and some colourful accessories, but at least I'm more comfortable wearing it.

I didn't think about the wedding theme, it's in a big marquee thing. I can't imagine it'll be hugely formal, my friend is very much a jeans and tshirt woman (as am I!), honestly I think this will be the first time I see her in a dress!

@offyougotwantychops Thank you, the one good thing I got from my mother was the legs I love the colour of the second dress but all I can think of is how small my waist used to be in it. Three children will do that to you though!

First one ! Stunning , really suits you

Both suit you. I prefer the first one , but unless you are confident braless or already have a strapless bra you believe and trust in, a new untested bra might spoil your day.

I gave up with trying to find a strapless bra which did the job long ago. You don’t want to be continuously adjusting it.
