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

What about this - nice and floaty, with a v neck and sleeves, still dark but with a bit of colour. It's from Roman and I do think it's pretty.

ooh, this is very pretty

Hi so sorry I don't like this at all. But that's me, I prefer more feminine dresses, this gives me power dressing for business with men vibes x

Dillane · 23/07/2023 15:37

Awful, looks like a dressing gown.

noglow · 23/07/2023 16:01

Right back to the drawing board

I am dull

I'm sure you're NOT dull but perhaps aim for bright social rather than subdued work

ElFupacabra · 23/07/2023 18:01

I don’t know anything about the style but my only thought with the first dress was “they’d be going right into my dinner when I ate” 😂

Horsedoglover59 · 23/07/2023 18:06

What about this? It comes from Light In A Box, so it will take several weeks
to arrive and I've found you always need to order two sizes bigger, but it's pretty and comes in three colours to choose from.

The brown stripey one? It was awful. Put me right off reiss. The fabric was terrible.

No I meant the rainbow stripy one you linked. My bad I thought your ordered it from the comment yesterday at 18.33.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/07/2023 18:50

Why don’t you get the one hundred stars dress and see what it looks like? :)

OK. But if you're interested Next online have just got a section for wedding guest dresses. Maybe worth a look?

That last one's lovely OP.

I like Lipsy. I've had a couple of their dresses and the fit is always nice.

It's amazing how polarising the original dress in this post was. Someone described it as "revolting"!
I think it's great and would absolutely wear it, but then I would never ever wear pastels or florals. Vive la difference!

If you like it that much why not order it & try it on accessorised (just like you would wear it to a wedding.) Yes you've asked for opinions but that doesn't mean you have to take them 😆.

I have my own style, I wear what I like, and feel confident and comfortable in. I don't dress in current trends/fashion. I'd never even heard of Boden, Joules, Seasalt etc before MN.

It depends who you are dressing for, and how much others opinions influence your choices. You could take others advice and end up with something you really don't like. It just depends what's important to you.

Also why haven't you ordered the hundred stars dress? 🌟

TruthThatsHardAsSteel · 24/07/2023 11:04

Is this too geometric? Was trying to think along similar lines of your first choice. www.reiss.com/style/st296302/T11382#T11382

Your first dress is also available in a jumpsuit as FYI.

Probably no good but I tried.

PictureConsequences · 24/07/2023 11:26

I like the Lipsy one, the polyester puts me off but I'm permanently warm 🙄...

If your vibe is Kristin Scott Thomas in Four Weddings and a Funeral then go for it.

This was my exact thought! Great minds!

Themaghag · 24/07/2023 14:53

Who wouldn't want to look like Kristin Scott Thomas - beautiful, sophisticated and elegant!

Maybe87 · 24/07/2023 16:00

You can but you should brighten it up a bit. Maybe pink Barbie high heeled sandals and a pink clutch? Definitely hair not strict up

I've seen one in next I liked - the Lipsy one. The 100 stars one is lovely but the Lipsy one is much cheaper. If that's no good I'll go 100 stars
