Is this dress inappropriate for a wedding?

[humanpotato]

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!

This can’t be a wedding outfit thread as nobody has suggested a Nancy Mac jumpsuit yet, or one of those - fancy dress - 50s style dresses.

She will look beautiful whatever she wears, let’s face it 😊

I have very much enjoyed this thread yes 🙂

Love the OP more, every time she replies with such good grace to the playground bullies

Shows an admirable level of self assurance, far removed from attention seeking

Do you know what popsicle33, you’d think at your age you’d have a bit more grace and ‘live and let live’ about you. Instead you’re behaving like a bitchy jealous schoolgirl.

I posted the article in good faith, thinking she might genuinely be concerned/interested to understand more about the subject from the perspective of a Black writer. But clearly I was wrong about that.

Why does this sound so disingenuous?

and @1000Pieces bricks, shmicks .

Op won't give a shit about this, but some other people might. It's interesting.

What you actually said 🖕🏻

It's a bit toooo much girlfriend don't wear this ever!!!!!

It was already clear that cultural appropriation and racism are a big joke to her, but I thought the article worth posting and hoped there was a small chance she might take it seriously. Obviously that was stupid of me.

How do you know op isn't going to a beach wedding?

The more you post, the more obvious is you're wearing it for a kick. Bit sad really.
You won't get the reaction you expect. People will see you as an insecure loser who has low emotional intelligence.

Anyway, no point talking to a brickwall, enjoy your kicks I guess. Might result in some personal growth

@1000Pieces

Nope she'd only posted the pic by then. Nothing was clear. Unless you're a mind reader.

And there you were "OP won't give a shit .... etc etc ..."

So please DON'T come all "I posted the article in good faith ... thought OP might be genuinely concerned... "

And now giving it the whole " hoped there was a small chance she might take me seriously "

God Alive. You just saw an in and were piling on.

Red dress = loser with low emotional intelligence 🙂 noted.

I recognise you OP, you had another post not too long ago because your sister (I think?) wanted you to change the dreadlocks for her wedding.

my goodness you have drama surrounding weddings 😂

It is I 🤣 haha 🥲 my sisters wedding hasn't been yet...

well for what it's worth I love the hair and the dress 😂

Unfortunately for your theory here, the very first time the op mentioned anything about her "dreadlocks" [sic] she said this:

Thanks for the hair comments 🥰 however my hair doesn't look anything like that now, I'll have my dreadlocks installed a week before we go! However they'll be black and not blonde. I know some of you are gonna go off now 😂

So no. I'm not reading her mind, so much as reading her actual post there. "I know some of you are gonna go off now" with a hilarious laughing emoji.

Because cultural appropriation and racism are totes hilaire.

@Amyrosa thank you 🥰

@1000Pieces omg it's not that deep.

I did this at the last wedding I was at. The dress I picked initially was a very heavy brocade and I realised it would be a nightmare for dancing in (Scottish wedding- eightsome reels, etc) but it was an expensive new dress and wasn't going to ditch it. I doubt anyone noticed.

or a fucking Popsy dress.....

Because cultural appropriation and racism are totes hilaire.

Because you've swooped in with an agenda.

At the very least when other posters are being rude they're doing it openly and plainly.

None of this patronising I was " just trying to help OP" shite.

And No I don't think it's "totes hilaire".

@1000Pieces

she's clearly beyond help. I didn't say you found it funny - it's the OP (and a couple of other posters) who seem to find racism hilarious and trivial - and to think that it's OK to dismiss Black people who have written about this at length as pointless and silly ("omg it's not that deep").

If speaking out against the casual racism of white British people is an agenda, then yes, I have an agenda.

I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if another guest at a wedding changed their outfit for the evening reception - as long as both outfits suited the dress code of the occasion - by which I mean smart enough - not ratty tracksuit bottoms and a ripped t-shirt, for example.
