URGENT! Which dress for to wear as a wedding guest.

111 replies

Nivealove · 16/08/2021 17:53

Hello!

Which dress should I purchase to attend as a wedding guest? I need to make this purchase ASAP as the wedding is on Saturday and I did not anticipate that looking for a wedding dress would be so long.

I am 27 and I am a size 10.

4 for sure

Ah I was just coming along to show you this dress I found, OP! In your size and on sale. Oh well. www.monsoon.co.uk/rebecca-floral-chiffon-dress-pink-84232696.html

Or this, also lots of colour www.monsoon.co.uk/trixie-burnout-floral-tiered-dress-orange-84687115.html

Or this which seems in a colour palette you like, though the shape wouldn't work for me www.monsoon.co.uk/gabriella-embroidered-floral-midi-dress-purple-84687604.html

(Btw I'm doing my own wedding guest dress shopping, not just randomly shilling you Monsoon Grin ).

LizziesTwin · 16/08/2021 18:36

I like number 1 best. It depends on your own colouring though.

4

waterwaterwine · 16/08/2021 18:39

3 and 4 are my favourites

SionnachRua · 16/08/2021 18:40

Feck sake, I swear that first Monsoon dress was in stock when I saw it earlier. Ah well. For the best, really.

GreyGoose1980 · 16/08/2021 18:45

1 and 3 are too bridal. I don’t like 2 and really like 4.

ShiningGonnaShine · 16/08/2021 18:46

I love threads like these for reminding me how different we all are! 1 is hands down my favourite - I think it's beautiful and stylish and not remotely like a nightie! I really don't like 2. 3 is OK but I think you'd have to be very tall and slim for it to work. I do like 4 but it wouldn't work for me as those pleated skirts never do (even though I'm a size 8/10, there's something about my mum tum /hips that make them incredibly unflattering on me 😩).

I find the colours of the first three very washed out however it probably depends on your colouring

1 and 2 look like nightwear and the cut of them is not very flattering. 1 looks cheap.

3 looks slightly bridal.

4 is lovely.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 16/08/2021 19:11

4 then 2.others awful

Kjr33 · 16/08/2021 19:12

4th one, the first one is nice too. The second one will look dated v soon imo and third one is a definite no for me.

FAQs · 16/08/2021 19:19

1st one is lovely and unusual. Also like the 4th.

HadEnoughOfBears · 16/08/2021 19:21

2nd is nicest but it says out of stock so I'd say no 4

LynetteScavo · 16/08/2021 19:22

4, but I like it in "green" best.

mcmooberry · 16/08/2021 19:24

1 or 4

thelastgoldeneagle · 16/08/2021 19:27

Number 4. The rest look too floaty/like a nightie.

sorryforswearing · 16/08/2021 19:44

4 by a mile.

Onelifeonly · 16/08/2021 19:55

Prefer 2.as it is a pretty shape (but I'd never wear that colour as it would look drab on me). 4. Is my second choice and the one that most says wedding guest to me - sleek and glossy looking.

Sexnotgender · 16/08/2021 20:01

4

Playdoughcaterpillar · 16/08/2021 20:03

Number 4

Divebar2021 · 16/08/2021 20:17

1 & 2 look cheap AF. The stitching and material is bloody awful. I really like the Coast one… dont wear it with a floral headpiece and it won’t look bridal.

Lcachu · 16/08/2021 20:21

I like number 4. But be warned on Chi Chi Clothings reputation...

www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/chichiclothing-com

I was going to order bridesmaid dresses from them years ago and changed my mind based on their customer reviews. Maybe order Chi Chi through ASOS and not directly with the company?
