Good for Halloween.

lissie123 · 09/03/2023 19:34

Fine for fancy dress

LookingOldTheseDays · 09/03/2023 19:34

I can't envisage an occasion this would work for tbh. Unless you're a goth?

I wouldn’t wear black to a wedding, I’m afraid.

Definitely not for a wedding!

julietlondon · 09/03/2023 19:36

Thank you ladies for saving me a lot of money!

Not for a wedding, OP. What kind of things do you like? Is the wedding in a hot country? Maybe we can give you some advice :)

DisforDarkChocolate · 09/03/2023 19:37

Black is acceptable for lots of weddings.

However, from the pictures you've posted it's hard to tell who that dress would flatter.

@VioletSki

It's in the Mediterranean at a posh resort

I don't have many fancy dresses

I would have it taken in by a tailor and be more fitted. The other guest I know is wearing a very fancy gown.

Are you more comfortable in dark colours? If it's in the med I'd go for something a bit brighter. However, a dark green could work too.

Guis23 · 09/03/2023 19:40

It wouldn't be my choice for a wedding abroad. The colour some might not think suitable. Black is for funerals etc.

julietlondon · 09/03/2023 19:41

I chose black so that I can wear it again for another occasion with my husband???

Unless it’s black tie I think you need colour. You can still wear something long and darkish if you are more comfortable

Luredbyapomegranate · 09/03/2023 19:43

Only for Halloween or a goth party. Those ruffs are pretty 1988 cheap end of the high at.

I am not saying you couldn’t wear black, but it is an unusual choice for a wedding in the Med.

How about this if you’re looking for long and lacy? It comes in lots of colours - I picked teal because it suits everyone but there’s lots to choose from.

Love this! It's also nice in the teal colour.

LesserBohemians · 09/03/2023 19:49

Black for weddings is fine, but what is the dress code for this one? I think that’s a slightly uneasy mash up of ‘Former Goth Goes to Rotarians’ Club annual dinner’.

VioletSki · 09/03/2023 19:49

Oops sorry @Findyourneutralspace you said teal too. Ignore me 🤣

Ticktocktimebomb · 09/03/2023 19:59

Is it the colour, or the style that you like in your dress? This one from mint velvet is dark but is more what I imagine for a wedding in the med

Mint velvet

julietlondon · 09/03/2023 19:59

@Findyourneutralspace

Lovely! May order one! Thank you

Navy could work, and is also versatile for another occasion. You could wear with a patterned clutch for something a bit more weddingy.

I like the back of the dress btw, but not so keen on the front. A bit too Wednesday Adams.
