This dress for wedding guest [pics]

[LazyJayne]

I’m going to a wedding in August and am wondering if I can wear this dress. I already have it and I wear it to go out in the summer (into town, to pubs etc.).

For this reason, it feels like a regular ‘day-to-day’ dress to me, but I’m wondering if it could pass as a wedding outfit if I add heels and a fat sister?

The wedding is a ceremony and reception in a country house, so pretty formal. I don’t want to feel out of place, but equally I know I feel nice and will be comfortable if I wear this dress. The bride won’t have seen me in it before so she won’t know I haven’t bought it especially.

Thoughts?

I love the dress but you’d need to work hard on the accessories to make it appropriate to the occasion. I worry that you’d feel unsuitably dressed and awkward when you got there (not that the bride/groom would care, but it would affect your enjoyment of the occasion).

Fat sister is a super autocorrect !

Perfect dress for a wedding, best part is that you already have it and know it fits and feels comfortable.
Ebay is brilliant.

It always mystifies me, the rabid search for a wedding guest outfit here. Nobody cares what guests wear, well, unless it's grossly inappropriate, the day is about the bride ( and groom, who most likely wouldn't give a toss what anyone wore, ever).
It's great to have go-to dress for such occasions, shopping for new one every time is utterly ludicrous.

Love the dress and think it would be great.

I can't stop laughing at far sister though 🙈😂

😁fat sister FAR better accessory than fascinator!

It's a day dress, sure, but I would happily wear that depending on the dress code. It's lovely. I'm envious, that's just my cup of tea but I've not been able to find one!

Fat sister, brilliant auto error!
The dress is definitely ok for a wedding if you add accessories and sandals etc, it's lovely in fact. I don't see how it could not be ok!

I knew fat sister must have been a typo but I couldn't work out what it was meant to be!

I really like the dress, but its too informal and day dress / summer work dress for a formal country house wedding.

I know what you mean (although I am guilty of hunting for perfect wedding guest dresses myself because I care how I look even if no one else does). Having said that, there's a local boutique that caters for mother of the bride looks and I recently bought a dress there for a nephew's wedding. It was a bit of a trial as the (very helpful) assistant was offering very structured formal wear and I ended up exclaiming "I'm only an aunt!!".

Incidentally, I'm the fat sister but I generally look better than my lovely slimmer sister so she'd be wasting her time using me as an accessory 😂

I also think it's a bit too casual but I suggest that you wear it into a town or shopping centre and try on accessories to see if you can dress it up enough.

This is from last year! Wonder if OP wore the dress.

Why did you resurrect this thread from nearly a year ago? I'm always intrigued as to how people come across an old random thread like this ...

I wonder myself but the typo made me cackle and I'm not easily amused, so am greatful.

It came up in "similar threads" today. I'd posted before I saw the dates.

Similar threads are actually a bit of an issue with thus. I wonder idmthey can put a block on after 1 year or so.
