Is this dress inappropriate for a wedding?

My boyfriend said he thinks this dress isn't appropriate for a wedding because it's red? This is new to me? The last two weddings we've been to I've wore red and he didn't say anything. So I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are is this appropriate?

I don't know what thread this belongs in!

Red is fine but sorry OP, the dress imo isn’t suitable for a wedding.

Geekynzmum · 26/06/2022 17:38

As others have said, the colour isn't the problem, it's the style.
It's way too flashy for a wedding and screams "look at me" in a bad way.

Absolutely agree, style inappropriate.

CambsAlways · 26/06/2022 17:50

It reminds me of something out of dynasty! Not a fan No! Nice colour though

CocoCarrie · 26/06/2022 17:51

Red is a lovely colour but I have to agree with the others, very inappropriate, too low cut and the slit is way to high. One or the other, NOT both.

Maybe he’s trying to be polite by saying the colour is the problem, it kind of looks like a flamenco fancy dress costume…

This!⬆️ It's a bit OTT - the mega split up to the crotch & the arm ruffles??

Annie202 · 26/06/2022 17:58

The colour is the only nice thing about the dress.....

petelacey · 26/06/2022 18:00

Is it a flamenco wedding? The colour is stunning, but the style is far too Come dancing with the stars.

Fudgemonkeys · 26/06/2022 18:01

Lovely dress, but I'm with BF, not appropriate for a wedding.

flyingsolo2013 · 26/06/2022 18:01

Apologies for high-jacking the thread but I thought starting another one with the same name would be odd. Does anyone have any opinions on this dress for a wedding - too much? Thanks!

If you’ve got the body for it, wear it! It’s nice!

Solonge · 26/06/2022 18:03

To be honest....much too OTT for a wedding. The wedding is for the bride...her day and she should be the centre of attention. Not being rude...but would be kinder to tone it down.

Solonge · 26/06/2022 18:04

The green dress looks fine for a wedding in my opinion.

IvorCutler · 26/06/2022 18:04

Has anyone done this yet? 💃🏽 💃🏽💃🏽

keeptheaspidistra · 26/06/2022 18:05

I wouldn't be happy to have anyone in my wedding photos wearing that, sorry.

Solonge · 26/06/2022 18:06

Palava.....have to agree!!!! you got it in one.

IvorCutler · 26/06/2022 18:06

Have just looked through your posts op and I think if anyone could get away with it it would be you. Love your style, you look very cute.

Definitely not too much

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 26/06/2022 18:06

If it is at Registry Office, I would suggest you stand at the back. Wink

Solonge · 26/06/2022 18:08

If you think he thinks its OTT.....then you must have an inkling why he thinks its OTT. Its nothing to do with frump...or Toast....a wedding is a day that most women plan for and dream of. The bride should get the attention....not a guest. This would be the equivalent of the Bridegrooms mum turning up in a wedding dress.....

Blackberrybunnet · 26/06/2022 18:09

It's a bit "showgirl"!

MadKittenWoman · 26/06/2022 18:10

Just no. Too red. Too 'Look at me'.

Mariadance · 26/06/2022 18:11

The comments on here are hilarious, so opinionated and judgemental. What happened to wear what you feel comfortable and happy in? Don’t listen to the negatives, wear what you want and wear it with pride!! X

Taxanimal · 26/06/2022 18:14

Yeah, I wouldn’t wear that to a wedding unless I was the evening entertainment. Mind you, I’d kill to have a body that I could wear that dress with…🤣🤣

WoahWhatAFeeling · 26/06/2022 18:14

Brilliant thread. Personally wouldn't dream of wearing that to a wedding however think you have handled the haters with grace OP. Enjoy the wedding and have a salsa for us ✌🏻💃🏻
