What do you think of this Ghost Wedding Dress?

I’m getting married in September, we are both mid-fifties and have been married before. It’s a small register office wedding with immediate family, followed by a family meal and then an evening party with family and friends. I have toyed with a mid length wedding dress but not really feeling it and my fiancé after chatting about the wedding is hoping to see me in a full length dress.

I really liked this Ghost dress online and managed to order it with a 10% discount. It’s a small which looked tiny on the hanger, and I still can’t believe it actually fitted. It needs a good steam, but does it suit me and my figure or is too hippy?

I like simple styles and unfussy necklines, definitely no plunging fronts. I’m wearing heels in the photo but would get a very slightly higher pair which would lift the length.

I don’t want to make the wrong decision, so would appreciate honest (but kind) thoughts please.

Love love love.

Lovely dress. You look amazing.

Alfixnm · 16/03/2022 13:44

Wow your figure looks stunning in that dress!

nearlyspringyay · 16/03/2022 13:45

I think it's beautiful, can you sit down and eat in it though?

ringoutthebells · 16/03/2022 13:45

Your figure looks gorgeous in it, that's the best bit! But I'm not keen on the dress, sorry. I find the top half a bit frumpy, and just think you can do better.

Its not hippy looking. Its classic looking. I really like the detail on the arms. The shape is lovely on you.

Gorgeous, love the colour and the style.

Mercurial123 · 16/03/2022 13:49

It's beautiful. You look great.

RubiesandRose · 16/03/2022 13:50

To answer questions, yes can definitely sit down in it and it feels comfortable.

I think steaming will help, it is quite creased. I am conscious of my tummy and hips so just wanted to check it looks okay?

Thank you for the kind comments it's boosted my confidence Smile

You have a beautiful figure, but it really bulks out your lower half. I'm guessing that's what you meant by hippy, not that it makes you look like a hippy!

RubiesandRose · 16/03/2022 13:51

Sorry yes! By hippy I meant makes my hips look big rather than look like a hippy!

It looks beautiful & not hippy. You have a lovely figure. If I was being ultra picky I'd say it was maybe a tiny bit tight on the hips. Can you sit down in it? I'd 100% still wear it if I were you anyway! Have a lovely day.

SummerHouse · 16/03/2022 13:52

Boom! This is the one! Flowers

RubiesandRose · 16/03/2022 13:52

It isn't actually tight on the hips at all, I can easily sit down, if anything there is a bit of spare material there.

I wish I had a figure like that and I'm in my thirties! You look great OP, congratulations!

I added a bling belt around mine, that might look nice too
