What do you think of this dress?

www.hobbs.com/product/scarlett-embroidered-dress/0223-5830-9045L00-NAVY-YELLOW.html

Eloping so just two witnesses in a registry office. I'm 36 and size 10 and same skin shade as the model. I'm not a girly girl so pretty clueless however I have worn navy dresses in the past so know they suit me. Don't want anything too fancy but I do like this.

Also it's on November so thought about a jacket like this?

What do you think? Or any other suggestions for a jacket maybe cheaper 😀 and shoes like the model has on seem ok.

Thanks if you have any thoughts.

With a jacket over the top and for your wedding as described, yes it is. Good luck!

calmcoco · 18/08/2023 19:27

Yes I like your dress.

I don't like jackets so would choose a cardigan.

I think eloping sounds lovely, have a great day!

thisdress1234 · 18/08/2023 19:38

Thanks I'm not keen on the jacket either or the price the website suggested it Smile

Any ideas on sort of cardigan

Yes, can't wait. I'm not into fuss and can't stand the thought of all eyes on me/us. So should be a good day!

Not a cardigan for a wedding! Dress is lovely - keep looking for nice jacket

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 18/08/2023 19:44

I think that's a gorgeous outfit and perfect for getting married as you say. Congratulations 🥳

ParisianSun · 18/08/2023 19:45

It's beautiful, and sounds perfect

thisdress1234 · 18/08/2023 20:00

Thanks all!!

Will keep looking for a jacket

Took me ages to find the dress but I do really like it

Was it the navy jacket you were thinking of or the ivory one?

Calsbrasil · 18/08/2023 20:11

Love the dress and jacket, perfect for your occasion.
We eloped in November 35 years ago! I had a little suit from Miss Selfridge.
Good Luck to you xx

Why not a long sleeved dress and a smart coat? More likely to wear the coat again.

CultureAlienationBoredomandDespair · 18/08/2023 20:16

Sorry to be a naysayer but I think you should love what you get married in and it sounds like you’re ambivalent and thinking about what you ‘should’ wear rather than what would make you feel like the best version of you.

If you don’t normally like dresses then you don’t have to wear one, the beauty of an elopement is that you can do what you want and make your own rules.

panko · 18/08/2023 20:21

That's gorgeous op

StoatofDisarray · 18/08/2023 20:22

Love the dress but I agree that a lovely coat would be more stylish.

AllOfThemWitches · 18/08/2023 20:25

I think everyone should get married in something like this. But your idea is also lovely.

Is this ok to get married in?
TiredCatLady · 18/08/2023 20:28

Love it and also love that it’s definitely wearable again (some people might like the wear it once thing - I’m not one…). Goes for the jacket too but then I also like the bracelet sleeve option another poster has put up. Only thing I would say is that November could be chilly and a long sleeve dress better but depends on where you’re eloping and how much time you’re actually going to be outdoors.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 18/08/2023 20:28

Go for a nice coat, instead of a jacket - will look much smarter. Red would be great with the blue, if red suits you.

Stratocumulus · 18/08/2023 20:30

Lovely dress. Wear it!
A jacket will add a slight formality and penache so go for a jacket.

Cardigan? Hell no!

Wear an under slip for a smooth line, plenty of bling, tights and nice shoe or sandal & away you go.

Congratulations and enjoy every minute of your special day. 🩷

For £350 you could do much better and have a wow dress and jacket combo.

NeverNoMore221 · 18/08/2023 20:32

Dress is gorgeous and Hobbs clothes hang beautifully

Swanslikeme · 18/08/2023 20:34

So is this non wedding dress

We eloped :) best thing we ever did

Thats dress I think would be fine :)

Thelonelygiraffe · 18/08/2023 20:37

Dress is beautiful! Congrats and have a fab day.

I'd try to avoid a cardy/jacket and just wear the dress all day...
