Is this dress okay for a wedding?

[Waitingforsummer25]

It’s the most beautiful dress and have yet to have an occasion to wear it! But is it too much for a wedding? Is it too ‘look at me’

I think it's great. I'd wear that to a wedding!

Personally, I wouldn't. It's a very bright, intense dress and it'll certainly draw the camera. There are divided opinions about red at a wedding, so I'd probably just avoid it to be safe.

It is nice, the only issue that would stand out is if it's nude. If not nude or wear with clothing underneath it is very pretty.

If you will show your underwear then that might steal the bride's attention.

It's gorgeous, I'd wear it if I was tall enough!

It’s lovely, but some people are funny about red at weddings. It’s supposed to signify the ‘other woman’ or something daft like that.

I’d save it for a different occasion - fabulous though it is.

It says it needs nude underwear, so it might not look as good IRL? I wouldn't wear the red one to a wedding, but the lighter of the two blues is lovely.

I would defo wear that to a wedding, it’s divine.

Already have it in red! Luckily not sheer at all. Mostly worried about shape being too slim around figure and colour. It’s only very recently I heard no red was a thing, who comes up with this madness!😹

It's stunning - wear it! Never heard of the red rule. Bonkers

I'd wear it to a wedding, it appeals my inner goth.

Wear it..I would if I was slim enough!

Absolutely wear it, great dress!

I only heard the red rule on here a couple of months ago. It's stunning- I would wear it if I had the figure!

Depends what type of wedding: a late day ceremony in a nice hotel, great: an afternoon wedding in a country village church not so much

The red rule etiquette has always been around for years and years dying out now I think something about drawing attention away from the bride

It's lovely and very appropriate, as it is not showing excess flesh, nor is it white. Those sleeves though; you need arms like a gibbon!

Never heard of the "red rule", ever!

Yes! Eminently suitable. Enjoy wearing it 😊

Yes, that’s lovely. And if you have a beautiful dress that you have not had the opportunity to wear, then a wedding is just the occasion to do it.

On Mumsnet there are various rules about random colours you are not supposed to wear at weddings - black (funereal), white (bridal), green (unlucky), red (strumpet) etc but I don’t think anyone reasonable will care in real life!

It isn't Mumsnet. These bonkers rules exist - apart from the white one, that's not bonkers. Red at a traditional wedding might upset people.

If you have the height and figure, go for it! It's pretty hard to upstage the bride at a wedding!!

It's beautiful

All depends I guess if you're going to be standing like the model! Then no

Nice dress, but I couldn't wear it, not tall or slim enough 😆

I've never heard of these bonkers "rules" anywhere else.

No red at a wedding is a thing in some countries- Spain & Portugal, I think. Have never heard of it in the U.K.

As long as you don’t wear white or funereal-style black, I doubt anyone will care.

It's alright.
