Opinions on this dress for a wedding guest

[Howmanyroses]

Just that really, what do you think? Obviously looks much better on a model in the picture. Thank you!

I disagree 100%. You'd (general you) would look daft in such a pale, delicate dress at a BBQ, (posh or otherwise).

It's inoffensive. Nobody is going to be looking at it and thinking "My my it looks like a dish rag". I don't like it particularly but for £15 from EBay and baring in mind that it's just for a wedding I don't think anybody will look twice at it.

I don’t like the one that you’ve bought, but I think the black halter neck dress you posted, is quite pretty. They have something very similar in a cobalt blue and I love a strong colour, so personally would consider that one over the black. I would potentially just be worried about quality.

bullying? Bullying?

So now if someone posts a photo of a dress we can only say it’s wonderful?

Fuck me.

S&B is finished …

To be clear, I haven't interpreted any of the comments as bullying.. I am ok with direct feedback, I can be pretty direct myself 😀 I think maybe 'stately home' is misleading. I know the crowd who will be attending and they are usually fairly low-key, nothing over the top is required. Any suggestions are welcome by the way. What would be your absolute top choice of an outfit for a wedding in July?

dishrag, attacked by an xl bully? you'll find you can say you don't like something without using mocking hyperbole.....

I'm not going to make a suggestion for you because you have bagged, for £15, a delicate, pretty, slightly messy dress which on the sites I found it started life at several hundred pounds, which you like.

I'm thinking about either of these for a July wedding. I have the Klements dress in cotton in another pattern. I love it and it's had lots of compliments.

Klements

Sister Jane

This.

don’t think it’s that appropriate for a wedding either especially if it’s in a decent venue

Sorry, but that dress is awful.

I like the shape of the dress from your op and I assume that it's a shape and length which suits you or you wouldn't have bought it. So my absolute top choice would be a dress in a similar shape but a stronger colour and with fewer embellishments. But that's my style and not yours. And I wouldn't buy that shape for me either bit imagine we don't look anything alike.

If you really want suggestions I'd start a new thread describing your shape etc and I'm sure you'll get lots of help. But tbh, I don't imagine you'll find much for £15 that you're happy with, so just wear your op one imo. It isn't to my taste but I'm not wearing it

@IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle I love the Klements dress you posted!

I kind of like the petal thing @Howmanyroses . It's pretty and unusual.
It's a bit pale and short for me but I can imagine it would look amazing on someone young and slim with nice legs. I reckon my DD would look good in it.
If it suits you and you like it, wear it!

Well I'm going to go against the grain here - I think it's a gorgeous dress OP and perfectly suitable for a summer wedding. It does look pretty and delicate. If you like it, wear it.

I really would never ask MN for advice on clothing - some of the things other people like simply astound me!!

I think that dress is one which is actually objectively not very nice as KatrinaWaves said

that looks like it’s been run up on their mum’s sewing machine by a teenager using a tacking stitch! The quality is clearly awful.

I quoted that comment because it's a useful criticism without falling into hyperbole.

I think it's lovely

I think it probably looks better on, especially if it comes down longer. But the appliqué design, especially from a distance, looks like a load of pillow feathers stuck on, so it just seems a bit scruffy.

I like the dress OP, I'm petite and can visualise the length on me and it's perfectly decent. I like boho styles and would do hair in that style too with loose curls. Colour wise I suit strong colours more but could imagine wearing that colour as a nude. The detail is lovely on the subsequent pictures and you got a bargain.

I like the Sister Jane dress but tbh both dresses would swamp me, as I am petite and short. I would look grotesque with balloon sleeves too

I like it and think it's fine for a wedding.

The main thing is that you like it and feel good in it.

Agree. It's bla.

It's perfectly suitable for a wedding.

I really like it. I’m guessing It’s for a summer wedding, though?

Honestly I think it’s fine, I’m sure you suit it. Don’t worry about the comments, none of the alternates posted were any better, in fact to be honest, yours is the best posted so far.

habe fun and enjoy the wedding, you will look great.

I love it. It reminds me of a dress I wore to a wedding when I was in my early 30s. Same colour and shape, which on me is flattering. I don’t suit strong colours, and I’m short, so I totally see the appeal of this one.

For what it’s worth, op, I once bought a Vivienne Westwood dress on eBay, which was also ripped to shreds on here. My question was about shoes! 😂 (At least I think it was. I’m peri and my memory is shot)

This dress is vile!

I don't much like it on the model but if the colour is more pink and you like it on I'm sure it will be lovely at a summer wedding. Great price and I love the black petal dress (though probably not in black for a wedding).
