Is this too ‘look at me’ for a wedding?

[Londondreams1]

Apart from the evening style, which I can overlook, is the gold too dressy for a small town afternoon wedding?

But I agree it’s not somber at all

It's beautiful, lovely for a wedding and versatile too so I'm sure you'd get plenty of wear out if it.

Gorgeous. Enjoy wearing it I'm sure you'll look fab

Or even evening dinners/parties full stop! You’d want black or gold strappy shoes and bag presumably…

It's a bit gloomy imo. Great for a Christmas event perhaps but not a spring wedding.

And as PPs have said - the cost of it!! Bloody hellfire! No way. It doesn't look worth anywhere near that, I saw a similar dress in a charity shop yesterday for £3.50!

I think it would be absolutely fine for a wedding - it’s got thar tea-dress style, but the print/colour gives it a nice edge.

Oh please don't reconsider. It's beautiful, I actually did a little gasp at the loveliness when I saw the vid.

i love it

Love it for an evening do - not so much for an afternoon wedding, with the black and gold it looks too much like a party frock (albeit a gorgeous one)

@Londondreams1

I’m reconsidering it for the wedding now due to it being black (but trying to think of another good excuse to get it)

No the black is fine as there is sooo much gold. Its beautiful.

I think it's lovely. What would you wear over it in case the weather's a bit chilly?

It's the sort of dress I would get a lot of wear from afterwards: opera, parties, smart dinners, etc. It's also a good price point for an occasion dress that will be well worn. Wear it 10 times and it's £42.50 a pop.

I’ve worn black for weddings including my brothers. I love this dress please buy it so I can live vicariously through you!

PS. What’s the sizing like? I’ve been nosing around their website and seen lots more gorgeous things.

I think it's beautiful and I bet irl it looks even better. It's classy and understated. You're paying for cut and fabric, it will hang beautifully.

Perfect for a wedding, maybe with a gold feathery clip thing in your hair.

@RosesAndHellebores A small cardigan, I think.
I like these capes for weddings but again, not in black when the dress is black, and I’m still sensitive to the ‘look at me’ aspect

It’s beautiful but a bit ch-ching!!

I think you could get away with a black Cape as you have posted. Particularly if you wear a gold headband or something.

Am going to look at the website now.

Nice but looks like a £40 new look dress. Would never pay 425!

I think its a beautiful dress and in the video you can see where the money is going, if that makes sense!

I don't think its at all right for spring day time wedding though.....

That's lovely and not too look at me at all.

I love that and I never wear dresses!

I think it’s perfect for a wedding.

It would look amazing with a cape (and I like the gold headband / clip idea too). I’d wear gold close toed heeled sandals. Burnished gold clutch. Or dark, glossy (subtle metallic) green clutch.

Scrap the green! I mis-remembered. Blue metallic clutch would look amazing!

It's beautiful. Really well cut and sits nicely.

This is NOT 100% the right bag but the shape and colour would be amazing (just need it in satin or metallic!)
