Wedding guest dress - is this too informal?

I’m guessing a few of these will be coming up over the next few weeks!

I’m going to a cousin’s wedding at a country hotel this summer. There’s no dress code, but I don’t want to look too casual. I really like this dress - and while I’d typically go for more reddish/purple colours, I actually really like the green. I feel I could wear it again too.

I’m 5ft 11, big 12 to small 14 with dark colour hair and green eyes. I think the colours and pattern would suit me, but it’s a bit floatier than I’d usually choose, so I was wondering if something more “structured” might be better (more formal looking)? Views welcome:

Perfect choice

My3cents1 · 24/04/2023 17:20

The dress is lovely, being made from polyester would be an issue for me though.

Aquamarine1029 · 24/04/2023 17:21

I absolutely love it. What a gorgeous dress! I'm sure it will be stunning on you.

MaydinEssex · 24/04/2023 17:21

I really like it, I was reading the reviews and someone said it is a Yumi dress, and if you look on the Yumi website it's cheaper.

Justcallmebebes · 24/04/2023 17:22

That's lovely. Especially the darker green

paisley256 · 24/04/2023 17:23
