I do actually @Theblacksheepandme but they are £££££ yet also look like posh versions of my usual day dresses (which I’d prob wear with platform dms/platform converse and a fur coat!

I love that dress. I'm glad you have ordered it. I can't wait to see it when it arrives!

Kenworthington · 10/02/2022 21:37

Love the Westwood but none in my size. I have requested an email if they come back in though

@Kenworthington please check the trust pilot reviews before ordering they are very poor

I cant but help tnink of Jane Fonda in Monster in
Law. She looks amazing in the film but massively tries to steal the daughter in law's thunder

Kenworthington · 10/02/2022 21:42

@DreamingofTimbuktu I guess so long as it lasts the day it doesnt matter too much. I guess I’m unlikely to wear it again . Apart from a casual trip to sainsburys perhaps

Oh it’s beautiful and I can totally see why you want it…but no. Absolutely not. _

Kenworthington · 10/02/2022 21:42

@CaraVanDam don’t worry I won’t steal the brides thunder

It's gorgeous. The floral one would be amazing. I've told my DC to shoot me if I threaten to turn up in one of those matrony jackets in turquoise and a pillbox hat

readwritelove · 10/02/2022 21:43

YES!!!!!!! The floral is stunning. You will look amazing and I hope you have a fabulous day.

No no no

@Kenworthington

I want to be your friend.

I would also have asked my son, who would probably have said the same as yours!

I'm so glad you've gone for it. It's a fantastic dress, and this is the best possible occasion to wear it. You and your son both sound fab.

NannyKrampus · 10/02/2022 21:48

Looks like Big Bird wrestled with a shredder

Vampiremockumentary · 10/02/2022 21:49

And will you, when all the people stand, shout out "It should have been me!"?

Snoozer11 · 10/02/2022 21:49

This made me think of Chandler's dad in Friends.

dollymuchymuchness · 10/02/2022 21:50

No way! 😱

pupcakes · 10/02/2022 21:50

You do you OP, I think it's fabulous and quirky and perfect for a gay wedding!

NameChangeCity123 · 10/02/2022 21:51

Absolutely not! Cmon,
You already know the answer.....
beautiful dress, not for this occasion

EmpressSuiko · 10/02/2022 21:51

I’m just wondering how anyone can afford these prices! 😱 beautiful dresses!

Thundercats77 · 10/02/2022 21:51

It's beautiful!
I like the champagne and not floral.
Would you consider the pink? Coral is awful, you'll look like a flamingo.

CrunchTime22 · 10/02/2022 21:51

@Kenworthington

UPDATE from the groom:

Love the dress! ‘Too much’ is a phrase you shouldn’t worry about xx

So glad I said wear it before I saw this! You know your boy.
Kenworthington · 10/02/2022 21:52

@SophieSellerman I’m open to friendship offers. 😊

Hi love the red one but I think the ruffles around the sleeves and neckline would drive me nuts.

Kenworthington · 10/02/2022 21:53

Well no obviously @Vampiremockumentary e side that would be TOO creepy and weird even for me
