When would you wear this dress?

[cutlery]

When would you wear This? Is it office wear? Casual wear? Could I get away with it at a winter wedding?

I think it is a bit dreary so never.

I really love it.

Perfect thanks

Funeral.

I would wear this dress if...I was Kate Middleton trying out a casual church vibe

oh but loads of posters have daft rules about weddings. loads and loads

Office, lunch with the girls...nothing fancy/formal

I like it although if I owned it I might change the buttons.

So far as suitability for a wedding, I forgot the MN rules of no red, no green and no black, but it's all good there too.

Upper end of office wear. Not wearing wear.

I think it's the type of dress that's smart, safe and respectful.

It would take a lot of lift it from that to anything else. No amount I'd styling or pops of colour etc.

Interview wear, giving a speech, cutting a ribbon at at opening ceremony, funeral etc.

It'll never be fun but a safe on to have in thr wardrobe fir when you want to look well but not stand out.

Hang on is it navy? (turns up phone light)

yeah I’d go with what @PurplePansy05 said, but it’s still very austere.

Someone in my office wears this dress to work with white trainers, I like it.

Definetly perfect for a funeral.. looks so sombre and dull..

I can see that yes

Thank you all again. Its really helpful

That’s a pretty ordinary day dress. Not a dress up dress for a wedding at all.

I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding. But I think it’s a gorgeous dress which could be worn to almost ant other occasion

I knew some people would say it was an every day dress because this kind of thing comes up often on MN as a dress for a pub lunch or other casual thing, but where I live nobody wears long winter dresses every day.

Bit austere for a wedding

Good for a passing out parade at Sandhurst. Or for a funeral.

It would be fine at my old workplace

This looks like a good winter wedding dress with a similar level of coverage (high neckline, long length , arm cover). It's definitely can't be described as drab or funeral like. 😳 but has a similar essence of styled modesty as the original 🤔

It's casual, I would wear it walking the dog round town, going for a coffee meeting a friend. Not smart enough for work for me, being corduroy.

When/if I transformed into Kate Middleton or someone else uncomfortable with their lowly middle class upbringing

On an outing / jolly holidayin central London with Jane, Michael & Bert

Only on Mumsnet is this a dog walking dress!!!!🤣

I'm not mad on the horizontal seam across the hips. If it's the Me&Em dress I think it is, there must be nicer dresses for the best part of £300. It's a bit confused. The cut is really formal, but corduroy tends to be casual.
