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.

whoop whoop for buying it and I think your suggestion of a white blazer actually sounds perfect and suits the style and not the typical bridal (dated) shrug.
O got married in church in a strapless dress. But wasn’t low cut

@ConcertaFirstTimer agree with his comment.
I am 42 and been postponing my wedding since COVID. if the day actually happens I will definitely give a good smart but elegant twist on my outfit

Get it shortened and it will be perfect.

I think it is beautiful. Given you are petite is it worth considering having it professionally altered so that the length is right for you and the waist sits in the right place? I like the idea of soft metallic coloured shoes.
wishing you a happy day.

Love it

BlueGrey1 · 04/02/2024 13:06

I like it but in reality it might look a bit cheap depending on the quality of the material, let us know when you receive it if you like it

Hope you have a brilliant day anyway and Congrats!!

I love it but older people will judge you baring so much skin especially if getting married in church. You could add a bolero to avoid that if it bothers you.

Brides get married in strapless dresses in church every single Saturday of the year. Unless you are marrying the heir to the throne, nobody of any age cares if they can see your shoulders.

OP, it’s a lovely dress and it doesn’t need a bolero, a shrug, lace, a beaded cape or anything else. It also doesn’t need that most cringy of all fashion terms, ‘a pop of colour’ 🙄 Simplicity is key with a dress like this. A white blazer would be gorgeous if you want to avoid being cold.

Fab dress

definitely don’t “bling it up” or add a “pop of colour” it’s elegance is in its simplicity.

have a lovely day!

Clearly op is not bothered. I suggest the judgy old timers put a bolero over their offended eyes and keep the tutting to a minimum

honestly, mn can ruin any outfit by suggesting a bastarding bolero. No,no

On a serious note women do need additional judgement on their wedding by the very people they’ve invited as guests. Guest role is turn up, be gracious,smile, in no way make anything difficult for the B&G. That’s it, not so hard

Absolutely 👰💒💍

RogueFemale · 04/02/2024 20:16

Definitely, yes! It's very elegant and classic. My only concern would be the fit.

Have you considered hiring a dress, as you could get a corker for the same price and you only need the dress for one day :)

If you like it n it feels good then do you. Only u know what you like. Hope the days a good one 👍

ZephrineDrouhin · 05/02/2024 04:33

It's lovely. I think simple maybe gold or sivery sandals would be nice. I dont think I'd want to detract from the clean lines with a lot of accessories. Maybe some earrings.

Fivefootoffun · 05/02/2024 15:45

Absolutely gorgeous!

Epidote · 05/02/2024 20:20

I don't see why not, it is a nice dress.
