What do you think of this dress?

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.

It's a nice classic look. Get some white roses or flowers to hold in front of you and if you can find a cute short veil that can cover your face and be lifted for that wedding kiss. Congrats!

Christ,No veil,it’s not as if it’s a tah-dah reveal. The veil to conceal the chaste demure bride.

I think it's a prefect dress. I would prefer a cardigan too - I think navy cropped cashmere would be perfect, Boden usually has them.

Congrats!

I think it's a gorgeous dress and if it 'speaks' to you as you said it has then it's got to be the one.

FWIW I got married in navy in November with just two witnesses. All being well hoping to celebrate our Silver anniversary in three months. DH said it was perfect just the four of us.

Agree navy cropped cardi would be great and maybe a little yellow rose corsage.
Enjoy it very much - your wedding, your way! All the best

Apologies for being over invested but saw this sale mentioned on another Style and Beauty thread and it was such a good price I couldn't resist linking😉!

A quick google will tell you this is bs and if you want to discuss this further, you should start your own thread.

It’s beautiful OP- don’t buy a jacket or cardigan though! There is no stylish cover up option- although you could buy one of those denim jackets for the evening that says ‘Mrs XXX’ on the back. Personally I would show the beauty of the dress and it’s shape and deal with any cold or buy a dress with sleeves.

Forgottenmypasswordagain · 30/08/2023 11:20

Not sure about the collar though.

a veil would absolutely not go with that outfit!

ChristinaXYZ · 30/08/2023 14:06

Lovely outfit. Love the dress and the jacket is great. Hobbs things are very good quality. It all sounds great for the day you have planned. Good luck and have a wonderful day!

ChocBanana · 30/08/2023 19:20

I think it’s lovely and you will look amazing.
A friend of mine got married in a dress she got in a charity shop for £10, she looked stunning too.

What about something like this?

There's also a similar one from the same place which is all navy.

But equally, if you love the dress you posted initially and will be happy wearing it, then that is really all that matters.

CinnamonJellyBeans · 30/08/2023 21:08

The dress is fine, but it's not going to look good with a jacket over it. I'd wait for the Autumn collections to come in and look for something similar with a sleeve.

Or you could try some of the outlandish offerings from this thread and look like a cbeebies presenter!

Atsocta · 30/08/2023 23:25

Perfect congratulations 😍
