Is this appropriate for a wedding guest?

Well a sort of wedding, actual wedding was family only, celebration/reception is this weekend.

I've put on weight recently so am hating how I look atm, but got this dress and really like thr fit, its flattering where it needs to be and im really comfortable in it. But worried its a bit too white...?

If im honest I'll probably wear it anyway, as i have no other options and its tomorrow, but curious to know what people would think if you saw someone wearing this at a wedding/whether you would wear it yourself...?

I think it's fine but perhaps a little summery for this time of year .

Midlifemission · 07/10/2021 21:06

This looks lovely OP - nothing there to cause offence at all!
Have a lovely time !

It’s lovely and totally appropriate! Blue shoes and accessories and it will look fab xx

ChatterMonkey · 07/10/2021 21:08

Agree that boohoo can be hit and miss, have ordered some in the past that i was disappointed with, but this one is actually nice heavy material (as in hangs nice and isn't too thin) so pleasantly surprised for the price!

It’s lovely, I know someone who wore it for a wedding recently and had blue fascinator etc

Redshoeblueshoe · 07/10/2021 21:11

That's lovely

CatalinaCasesolver · 07/10/2021 21:12

Interesting as I really liked this dress but discounted it as 'too white' for the wedding I'm going to later in the month. Maybe I'll order it now!

LettertoHermoine · 07/10/2021 21:13

Tis grand!

Qwertypi · 07/10/2021 21:14

I love that dress!
What shoes are you wearing with it?

BringPizza · 07/10/2021 21:16

It’s gorgeous but make sure you sit with your knees together Grin

myusernamewastakenbyme · 07/10/2021 21:40

I really like it too...is it true to size Op...not sure if i should size up or down.

ChatterMonkey · 08/10/2021 05:25

Its true to size, ive gone for a size 12 and it fits well, figure hugging in the right places (im hourglass figure with a bit too much bum and stomach atm 🙈) material is nice and stretchy.

It is very low though, my boobs are going to be a little bit on display, but im not too bothered about that as it detracts from the tummy!

Oh and im wearing nude peep toe heels with it (as i already own them and the only other alternative would be black heels which i dont think would go)

I really like the dress and it would not bother me in the least if a guest wore it to my wedding.

gofg · 08/10/2021 07:16

It's fine OP - some people have very strange ideas about wedding attire!! It looks nothing at all like a bridal dress. Enjoy the wedding.

Singinghollybob · 08/10/2021 13:59

I love it, and would wear it to a wedding!

clartins · 08/10/2021 14:12

It’s lovely, wear it. I’d be extremely surprised if anyone confused you for the bride unless you’re planning on carrying a bouquet and wearing a veil 😉😉😉 those who think there’s too much white, I’m not sure what dress they’re looking at.

forgotmyusernamagain · 08/10/2021 18:48

Oh that's gorgeous! Love it !

picklemewalnuts · 08/10/2021 19:21

Is the bride even wearing white, if this is the celebration rather than the wedding?

It's a lovely dress. As long as you are carrying a clutch bag, not a bouquet, you'll be fine!

ChatterMonkey · 09/10/2021 09:04

Event was last night, bride was wearing her wedding dress, so ws very much a wedding feel.

Got lots of compliments on my dress! Bride told me she thought it was beautiful so defo no issues with the white!

Thanks for the reassurance here, was an amazing night!

Fantastic news OP. It's definitely a beautiful dress so I'm glad the bride loved it too.

GreyhoundG1rl · 09/10/2021 11:11

Oh, great Smile

ChocolateRiver · 09/10/2021 13:38

I think it’s fine. Some people are so funny about the white thing. This has loads of blue flowers on it and it’s not remotely like a wedding dress. If it was a floor length white lacey dress it might be a different story but this is fine in my opinion.

KimikosNightmare · 09/10/2021 18:48

It's a lovely dress.
