and feel bridally, jazz it up with accessories? Or is this too like a clubbing dress? I don’t know where people where things like this anymore.

I can't imagine why, if it fits you and suits you, you would NOT wear that. And the options to style it are endless, depending on your personal preference and style (and time of year). I think I'd add some bling - but then, I do love a little bling on a wedding dress - so maybe some kind of sparkly bolero or shawl or a belt or sparkly shoes. (or at least two of the three! Grin). Depending on your hair style, long dangling ear rings as jewellery.

I love it. I forgot French Connection existed so thank you for that too!

Harrysmummy246 · 02/02/2024 12:10

Wear whatever you like and feel good in

IDontHaveTimeForFoolishness · 02/02/2024 12:11

Yes, it's simple, elegant and beautiful- congratulations!

ArcaneWireless · 02/02/2024 12:34

That looked beautiful @startingoveragainagain 😊

Netflixmad · 02/02/2024 12:36

Understated and very classy. A beautiful dress. Congratulations 🥂

CrotchetyQuaver · 02/02/2024 12:59

Lovely dress!

Unexpectedlysinglemum · 02/02/2024 13:14

Congratulations 🍾! It's lovely

alliancedublais · 02/02/2024 13:16

Here you go.

Beautiful!

CactusMactus · 02/02/2024 14:32

You'll need a cardy.

sprigatito · 02/02/2024 14:35

It's beautiful, but I do think it's SO simple and minimalist that it will be very unforgiving - it will only look good on someone drop-dead gorgeous with a perfect figure and flawless skin etc. If that's you, go for it!

Scirocco · 02/02/2024 14:42

If you like it, go for it! It's a lovely dress.

Orangejuggler · 02/02/2024 16:07

Gorgeous!

wear it with simple but striking gold jewellery. But I’d say less is more with the accessories… it’s really dramatic on its own and think loads of accessories would actually take away from it.

LindaDawn · 02/02/2024 16:48

Absolutely gorgeous dress. Congratulations!

KeepGoing2 · 02/02/2024 16:53

Lovely dress. My suggestion would be, unless by chance the fit is perfect, it would be £50 spent to get it professionally altered. You will look stunning.

tolerable · 02/02/2024 17:02

oh its stunning. the models is 5ft 10- it cant be ruled out yet-you need try it on,and possibly have it altered?

That’s lovely op. I’d not go some of the suggestions on here with bling and fur and colour. I

its a very elegant dress, so I’d keep it that way, some high strappy sandals, minimal jewellery, elegant hair and make up and a simple bouquet.

sometimes less is more.

It's lovely. I agree with @Jf20 comments.

Cheswick · 02/02/2024 17:13

The dress is lovely! Congratulations on your wedding!

Notellinganyone · 02/02/2024 19:39

Stunning. Definitely!

VerbenaGirl · 02/02/2024 20:43

I like it. Very elegant and striking. A good seamstress should be able to tweak if needed.

Belindabelle · 02/02/2024 22:13

Yes you can.
You are the bride. It is your wedding day. You can wear whatever the fuck you like. Caveat. It is also your partners day but I bet he would love to see you in that dress.
