Wobbling about dress

I’m having a wobble. I chose a dress To wear as MOB but it creases so easily.

back up dress is this one which I love love love but would it be weird to wear it because the material is velvet?

What's your other one like?

BlanketsBanned · 20/05/2022 18:17

Its lovely and looks comfy, will you lighten it up a bit with accessories.

And is it a summer wedding?

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:22

@Plump82 it’s this one - it looks amazing in the photo and the corset part is fantastic but the skirt is all crepe and creases so so easily. I’m also now winning because of the split.

@BlanketsBanned I have silver accessories- shoes, bag and a wrap (if I need it)

How high is the split on you?

Is it a summer wedding?

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:25

@Threetulips it’s tomorrow! I feel so wobbly!

Where is the purple one from? I love that

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:26

@Costacoffeeplease split comes about mid thigh when walking. Not so obvious standing

I prefer the purple velvet, it’s really lovely. I don’t think velvet would be weird unless it’s the height of summer.

cottagegardenflower · 20/05/2022 18:26

Its quite gloomy and a bit Morticia. I would say not suitable. Its the colour not the velvet. Also more evening wear.

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:26

I do appreciate all the help for my wobble

Missed your update. Go with the purple it’s lovely.

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:29

@TikTokCat its a bombshell HQ dress - it really is lovely

You were the poster who has the wedding outside and was looking for shoes, right?

Please don't change that dress - it's stunning! The velvet is too much of a winter dress and that other dress is just wow.

roofio · 20/05/2022 18:29

I thought this was a thread enquiring about maternity dresses 😆

The Self Portrait dress is lovely. Second post I've seen refer to it this week.

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 20/05/2022 18:31

Wear the teal in the day and change into the purple in the evening, why not! Congratulations MOB and I hope you and your family have a lovely day x

fluffiphlox · 20/05/2022 18:32

Not velvet in May.

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:35

@ahwobabob yes it was me! I don’t know why I’m now having a wobble- you’re all being so kind and helpful

Velvet in May is not a good look. It also looks like a stretch velour, which isn't very weddingy. The blue is lovely.

Firelogbridge · 20/05/2022 18:37

The blue is lovely but personally I'd be concerned about the spilt especially when sitting down. I love the purple one and the fact it's velvet wouldn't put me off wearing it in May.

Qwill · 20/05/2022 18:37

Definitely the blue! It’s a classic MOB dress and you’ll look great.

Imhavingawobble · 20/05/2022 18:39

@MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot - why didn’t I think of that??? Yes! I could wear teal for ceremony and photos then change. Thank you!

It just that the skirt creases so easily - even sitting creases it and I need to sit in the car and I don’t want to have a crumpled dress in the photos

The velvet dress is an evening dress for a winter party. The blue dress is much better.

I don't think you should change dresses, I think it would make it appear you are a bit of a diva. You are not the First Lady at the inauguration parties.
