I think it’s fab and like a pp would pair with a wonderful floor length veil 🤌🏻

@Myfabby not really rude no, its not an essential so yes it's frittering away money. I didn't say she can't or shouldn't, it's her choice and if that's how OP chooses to spend it then fair play. Reading more into my post than was there though... rude Wink

It is very rude. The definition of fritter is to spend in a foolish or wasteful way.

Who made you judge and jury of what a bride ( or anyone!) deems essential?

Rude!

nancypowers1983 · 20/10/2023 21:11

@Myfabby and who made you the judge and jury over my views? 😂 My it must be a fine view from your high horse. Sorry but there's no way £3K for two outfits for one person can ever be deemed as truly essential but you do you.
As I said OP, the dress has some lovely elements and is not too short. I'm not sold on the slip but if you love it and can justify it in your wedding budget then it's up to you. No judgement from me in spite of what others may like to believe.

I wouldn't because I'm short and curvy and have atrocious stumpy legs, but if it suited me I would! If you love it , wear it. I'd love to attend a wedding where the bride wore something a little different like this for a change.

Keurig · 20/10/2023 21:15

@nancypowers1983 wow - would it really run to nearly 3K on both? I hasn’t added it up. But it is a special day!

@Keurig it'd be the better part of £3K (not quite though) That's not to say you shouldn't go for it though if you love them and it won't put you into debt, they are both beautiful. I always love that shape of dress (the flowery one) and find it very flattering. It would be gorgeous with a long veil and some nice sparkly heels and as someone else said, you could wear it again many times I'm sure.

If you have a gamine figure, go for it.

Keurig · 20/10/2023 21:31

@nancypowers1983 i can afford it, yes

nancypowers1983 · 20/10/2023 21:45

@Keurig in that case 100% go for it. Even if you don't end up using it for the wedding (for any reason) you'll be able to wear it for something. It is timeless!

BinkyBeaufort · 20/10/2023 23:00

Utterly gorgeous! Please go for it

BinkyBeaufort · 20/10/2023 23:00

That's the first one - not too keen on second

It's everything.

determinedtomakethiswork · 20/10/2023 23:20

I think you would have to have extremely good posture and a very elegant long neck to wear it, but I think it would look fabulous if you did.

Thehonestybox · 20/10/2023 23:41

Yes! I love it, so charming and cute!

booksandbrooks · 21/10/2023 07:21

BarborousBarbra · 20/10/2023 16:09

I think it's beautiful. If you can pull it off, why not?

I think that's the groom (or bride #2's job.)

BlowingAway · 21/10/2023 08:33

I wouldn't as it would look terrible on me, but if you love it and it suits you then yes absolutely.

ianthes · 21/10/2023 11:07

Yes yes I would. I prefer it to the white outfit !

I wore a white balmain mini dress to my wedding so I'm not against getting the legs out Grin

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 22/10/2023 22:28

I think the white dress you already have is lovely .

bronkie · 23/10/2023 00:36

The Cynthia Rowley is perfect!
