Too much for a Wedding Cocktail dress code?

Mumwithbaggage · 02/11/2021 09:52

At a trendy venue the week before Christmas? I never think I look nice when I'm dressed up but Bombshell dresses make me smile. I'm 57 if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

Looks gorgeous! I would take a 'cocktail dress' dresscode as an excuse to glam up a bit in comparison to normal wedding attire - enjoy!

girlmom21 · 02/11/2021 10:23

That dress is perfect!

Noodleted · 02/11/2021 10:42

Agreed - not sure you could find a more perfect dress for the occasion.

GrandOld · 02/11/2021 10:44

It's beautiful!

Notonthestairs · 02/11/2021 10:45

I love that dress! Sadly I don't have an excuse to wear it.

bonfireheart · 02/11/2021 10:47

Absolutely orgeous OP, please buy it, glam up and have the best time (before someone comes on to tell you no one dresses up anymore and you need to wear white trainers), stunning dress.

starrynight21 · 02/11/2021 10:47

Exactly right for a cocktail dress code.

WickedWitchOfTheTrent · 02/11/2021 10:48

Love it

Cantstopthewaves · 02/11/2021 10:51

Perfect

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 02/11/2021 10:52

Gorgeous and perfectly fitting the dress code!

Shallwegoforawalk · 02/11/2021 10:52

That's gorgeous! Get it get it get it!

(I'm early fifties and would totally wear that. Off for a nosey on their site now!)

Kjr33 · 02/11/2021 10:54

Looks perfect for the occasion. What are you going to wear with it?

RicherThanYew · 02/11/2021 10:54

That dress is beautiful and perfect for the dress code.

Mumwithbaggage · 02/11/2021 11:08

Thank you! I pre-ordered it last night as I'm good at procrastinating and then missing out! Not really thought about what to wear with it yet - let's just see what it looks like on. They are great at returns so I'm not concerned.

Ugh, I love it OP.

MintyCedric · 02/11/2021 11:11

Beautiful...am actually a bit envious Grin!

Amberflames · 02/11/2021 11:13

Wondering if I should order that for my work Christmas party….

Disfordarkchocolate · 02/11/2021 11:14

It's lovely. Definitely fits with the code.

FinallyHere · 02/11/2021 11:24

Fab-u-lous.

I'm look for an event to justify buying one, I think they look great.

Are you very far away from Bombshell HQ?

I would encourage you if at all possible to make an appointment for a fitting, so you can really be sure the style you have chosen is the one perfect for you. And get their advice on undergarments. And possible the matching coats.

RockinHorseShit · 02/11/2021 11:29

Love it & it's perfect for the occasion... I'd suggest a pair of irregular choice shoes to go with it... comfort & style

RestingPandaFace · 02/11/2021 11:37

It’s beautiful and perfect for the occasion….and I want everything on their website.

BiddyPop · 02/11/2021 11:40

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of somewhere I can do lots of dreaming (and probably dropping a bit of cash too), those are gorgeous clothes!!

Purplecatshopaholic · 02/11/2021 11:45

That dress is awesome - I might just buy it and waft round the house in it!

Northernlass99 · 02/11/2021 11:56

Fabulous and perfect. You will look amazing.

deleteasappropriate · 02/11/2021 12:55

Definitely get it! My daughter bought it in red last year and wore it for Christmas, it is so flattering. She also said it's really comfortable to wear - you don't often get glamour and comfort going hand in hand Smile
