September wedding- can I wear this?

[noglow]

Is This OK for a September wedding? I love the style but think it might be too dark?

Shirts and shirt dresses in navy/dark green

You’d look like a bar code. Don’t wear it to the self checkout.

Yes my husband pointed that out so now I can't unsee that.

Interesting that some people are not completely ruling it out. I should have more confidence in my fashion choices! Thank you all.

I think it's lovely, very classy but for a wedding would need some colour by accessories

If the first one didn't have the stripes it would be salvegable with shoes and accessories.

So classy and lovely but not for a wedding

This is nice .

I like this too - it has many elements but I think it works.

Monsoon

I think it looks very understated, subtle and chic. You are clearly not a bright floral type, stick with what you like. And your husband went to the same school of fashion as mine...

Worth bearing in mind that the weather could still be quite warm. I went to a late September wedding a few years back and it was still hot. We’ve had a crap July so could well have an Indian summer. I’d wear something a bit summery with an extra layer.

It has too many elements. The handkerchief hem is one too many. OP clearly likes minimalism. I would have thought that dress is too fussy.

Ooh that's nice in the navy

this feels more like a work outfit

Yes i do like the monsoon one but it has just a little bit too much going on for me. I find monsoon often does that for me - has just one too many things going on.

I'm so tempted by the dressing gown/robe/shirt style

I think it's lovely. It works dressed up for a wedding and dressed down for work after.

If you don't go to weddings often it's incredibly wasteful to buy an expensive outfit you'll wear once, so something you can adapt for work is so much better.

I think that’s fair comment. It’s a bit worrying that you can’t see what the dress looks like when the model’s not weaving about. But it’s reduced and evening up the hem would be quite simple for a tailor I think.

I like the brown stripy dress. With the right accessories it could look very chic.

I love it and would wear it to a wedding. I'd never wear anything that good to work!

Yikes! Do not even suggest a hankerchief hem and then say to alter it!

Just buy what suits you. Loads of people wear dresses to weddings they could also wear in the evening. All
you need is an “Alice” band or hat and good accessories. Quality jewellery always lifts an outfit.

This is one of the best responses I've ever seen on MN. I bet you're not dull, OP, just not wild and wacky. Good for you.

Now I've clicked several times on the Reiss website, I am hoping against hope that Google will stop feeding me ads for sludge-coloured sacks from Toast, which I linked to as a joke on one of the last 'Can I wear this to a wedding?' threads over a week ago.

To me it screams workwear not wedding.

The billowy floral Max Mara’s are awful - far worse than the dress in the OP! I’m guessing you need to be 6 foot not to look like a sack of potatoes in those? They even drown the model.

Anyway, the Reiss occasionwear dresses posted are lovely and more suitable to a September wedding. (I also like the second dress you posted, OP, but more for work than a wedding.)

Jasper Conrad has a really good range of shirt dresses:

I'd wear them to a work interview. Absolutely not for a wedding.
