Too bridal?

Do you think the combination of very pale green/could just be ivory in the wrong light, tiny buttons, and satiny viscose would make this inappropriate as a wedding guest outfit?

I’m looking for something for my cousin’s early summer wedding. Haven’t seen everyone since I had DC2 and whilst I’d love to look great and have a little ‘wow’ moment, don’t want to look like I’m trying to detract from the bride! (Plan is to hire something lovely and then buy some lovely accessories that I might actually reuse)

Yes I think it would look daft

There are nicer dresses out there

It's too pale, and it looks like a nightie

That is absolutely beautiful, would look amazing on the right figure and lighting etc.

However, I think it’s a little inappropriate for a wedding dress. It’s a bit too revealing - you couldn’t wear a bra meaning nips likely on show. It’s also very bridesmaidy and does look a bit bridal - very Grace Loves Lace.

I’d go for something else tbh, beautiful as it is

It does look a lot like a nightie...

Yes, sorry, could definitely look bridal particularly in the wrong light - see some of the later pics on the listing for example. And I never think that things that people post on these threads are too bridal!

It looks like a nightdress.

There is literally a photo of someone wearing it as their wedding dress! You will absolutely look like you're trying to upstate the bride.

And it looks like a nightie.

Patterned is safer as a guest, then no one is going to mistake you for a bridesmaid either.

There's other lovely dresses in that site

I do feel it's too pale and nightie looking.

It’s too nightie looking for a wedding. Those dresses that @Violetmo0n has linked too are much nicer/more appropriate.

Hmm yeah, I suspected as much. Back to the drawing board!

Where do we stand on this? I love a bias cut! For reference I’m dark blonde, short hair, 5’6, small waist, all bum and boobs, have a bit of weight to shift but am currently marathon training so fairly confident it will be gone in the next couple of months.

That Lipsy dress is lovely.

It looks like a slip. People will think you have forgotten to put your frock on. I don't like the others much either. If it's a church wedding you will need something to cover your shoulders.

The last one looks like a bridesmaid's dress.

The green one is lovely!
I love that colour and think it would suit you too.

The Rat & Boa green is fab as you're curvy!

The rat & boa is gorgeous.

The green one makes the tiny model look big, plus it's quite dated.

Is it a very formal wedding?

That is an evening dress and will look weird at a daytime wedding unless you're a bridesmaid.

Is it a church wedding?

The first one is beautiful but you can’t wear it to a wedding. It’s a date dress.

2nd is horrible. Looks cheap. Not a fan of shiny polyester at all.

It's a no from me

First dress is terrible, looks like you forgot to put your clothes on and went out in your nightie.
Second one is nice, if that style suits your shape.

I don't like either of them but the second one is marginally better than the first.

The first dress @Violetmo0n posted is fabulous.

The second one is definitely a bit better. The first one is terrible.

I agree. Also, if you have a larger bust, that extra material will make you look frumpy.

I love the green one , there's a couple of actual customers wearing it and they both lol amazing
