Which dress for wedding

[clpsmum]

Hi which dress do you think would be better for a wedding? And can I ask what you would accessorise with? Especially head/hair wise. It's for step daughters wedding. It's a fancy affair are these dresses fancy enough?

Both lovely, but I think I’d feel a bit nervous about wardrobe malfunctions (boobs & knickers) in the second.

That's a heck of a split /wrap front in the second dress - unless you want to spend the day hoiking it over when you sit down, I'd give it a miss. The first is very nice. Is it going to be a hat affair? If so a pill box could work, depending on your hairstyle.

Yes think it will be a hat affair. Good point re the solo hadn't thought of gaping!!

i much prefer the wolfandbadger, a couple carefully placed hook and eyes to keep the neck décolleté where it should be for you as well as the same at the thigh.
the wolf one would be easy to accessorize with a pop of color.
the silkfred looks a bit drab and would need a bit more to stand out as wedding vs funeral attire.

I've just googled pill box hat and that would be perfect with first dress thank you. I have these shoes would they work?

I love those shoes

@FlappyFish thank you? me too, they are on sale now! I stupidly bought them first though and trying to find an outfit to match!!

You could wear an m&s Co comfort slip under the dress to prevent wardrobe malfunctions. There are several different lengths of slips available.

Both are appropriate, but quite different, so I think worth trying both to see which suits you better.

Definitely the first one it's lovely. The second one looks like a dressing gown.The plain navy you can dress it up with bright coloured accessories you can be bold with colours like cerise pink or even lime green.

First one with hot pink accessories. Or that gorgeous bright green that's everywhere at the moment.

Thanks everyone I've ordered both so I'll see what they're like when they arrive xx

I prefer the 1st one too and echo the suggestions of hot pink accessories 💗

I already have brand new pale pink shoes and bag and mint green shoes and bag was hoping to wear them but now you're all changing my mind and think I might need to buy more! Loving the idea of hot pink or lime green and thinking even orange

Sorry I think the first one is frumpy. The second is lovely but maybe not be comfortable with it being a wrap (I’ve found they tend to become loose) and having a high split. If you like navy this is very classy

That is lovely but not really keen on satin tbh

I prefer the second one because of the neckline.

I love the first one, with kelly green accessories. You can never have enough shoes.

I love the first one

I saw a lady last night wearing a dress of similar style to the first one with a pillbox hat and she looked stunning! You could go for red jacket and accessories with a plain navy dress.

@Coronationstation that sounds lovely. I think that's what I'm leaning towards

Don't be too matchy with shoes/bag/hat. Mix it up as everything matching is dated and a bit boring.

I think those Joe Browns shoes would be great with the first dress.

Definitely the second one

@DiscoDeborah what colour bag/hat would you go with if wearing pink shoes xxx
