c. The others show too much flesh to be suitable for a wedding imo

DustyLee123 · 25/04/2023 18:10

Navy

Purplecatshopaholic · 25/04/2023 18:12

Navy one

redspottedmug · 25/04/2023 18:12

Navy!

RachelGreensHair · 25/04/2023 18:12

D- Navy

Katrinawaves · 25/04/2023 18:13

Is it Black Tie? None of these otherwise look very appropriate for a daytime wedding. They are all quiet cocktail party.

C or D, I think velvet is on its way out

Muchtoomuchtodo · 25/04/2023 18:40

Oh no. I wouldn’t be wearing that either then @NCForTheDress !

ApolloandDaphne · 25/04/2023 18:44

If it has to be one of them then the navy. The rest show far too much flesh for a wedding.

And don't buy from Shein. What age are you OP, shape?

SallyWD · 25/04/2023 18:59

None of them look particularly weddingy to me. More like a dress for a cocktail party.

I’m 28 and UK size 8/10.

Money is horrendously tight at the moment, if I want to buy from affordable fast fashion, I will. The thread isn’t about ethics.

No not black tie. But a full day and night up North in the Autumn. The colour palette is very autumnal colours, reds, burnt oranges, dark greens, navy.

A lot of my friend group will be wearing similar styled dresses, so maybe it’s an age thing.

None of them. Too night club.

misteek · 25/04/2023 19:23

or a good taste thing.

zurala · 25/04/2023 19:24

Another vote for none. They aren't wedding guest dresses they are too clingy and revealing.

AlwaysGinPlease · 25/04/2023 19:25

Agree with PP. none of these are appropriate. Try Next, they have some lovely dresses.

IhearyouClemFandango · 25/04/2023 19:26

Tbh at 28 you are probably a fairly average age around here, so I doubt it is an age thing.

ladygindiva · 25/04/2023 19:26

Another for the navy here. Nice dress.

IhearyouClemFandango · 25/04/2023 19:28

Navy is best bet

WowIlikereallyhateyou · 25/04/2023 19:29

Thinking they all look cheap imho, but if it has to be one of these the navy is the only option. Why not check out ebay or charity shop for something better quality if money is tight?

xnyl · 25/04/2023 19:34

I love the green one or the navy one, I'm 30 and wish I had the figure to pull this off.

I've had some decent dresses from shein, you're likely only wearing it once so sheik's a good option if money is tight
