Would this be suitable to wear as a guest to a wedding?

Would this be suitable to wear as a guest to a wedding? Or is it too bridal/white?

Perhaps the same dress, but in another colour?

Not because of the colour, but the neckline is awful. Definitely nightwear vibes. I really dislike it.

They look like identical dresses to me. I honestly don't like it and think it's too low cut for a wedding.

Woah! Is that the same dress? No way! It's £149 here!

Edited

This is very obviously a Chinese knock off.

Too low cut for a wedding, that plus slits in the dress make it quite revealing. It also looks very casual - it's described as a sundress, so I'd assume a casual dress on holiday.

I'd keep looking if I were you.

Thank you all for your advice.

(Some strange comments too which was funny 😂)

It’s pretty but a little too revealing for a wedding guest.Attention should be on the bride not on you.If you paired it with a shawl or cute Jacket then maybe.But that’s just my thought.

Mumof3confused · 26/04/2024 23:03

The pattern and colour is fine but the cut is inappropriate in my opinion. You’re meant to not upstage the bride but the way this dress barely hangs on to the décolletage you’ll draw attention to yourself for the wrong reasons. It’s not very tasteful.

Platypuslover · 26/04/2024 23:06

Looks a bit like a nightie tbh

SlebBB · 26/04/2024 23:09

I work in this industry and see over a hundred each year, it doesn’t look like a wedding dress - more cotton older lady nightie, however I wouldn't go for anything with a white background.

steelingmyself · 26/04/2024 23:12

Crikey - the wolves were out for this one!

Doesn't look bridal to me.

pineapplesundae · 26/04/2024 23:19

Ask the bride her opinion! I personally love the dress.

StringTheory1 · 26/04/2024 23:27

Too casual
Too busty-wench
Too nightie-ish.

Sorry!

PegasusReturns · 26/04/2024 23:43

DD has this dress from house of CB - it’s very busty and the style of the top does something odd to the shape. It’s a bout much for a wedding imo

NewName24 · 27/04/2024 00:20

The material / colour is fine, it's the 'low cut sun dress' vibe that makes it not suitable for most weddings.

CulturalNomad · 27/04/2024 02:03

Looks like a nightgown ( and not in a good way😂). If you want to draw attention to your cleavage, there are more sophisticated dresses that would be more wedding appropriate and not so girly/serving-wench

DappledThings · 22/04/2024 09:36

It's weirdly low-cut. That's what makes it look like a nightie and inappropriate for a wedding. The pattern is fine.

This 100%.

Matildahoney · 27/04/2024 07:56

It's really pretty for a summer wedding. It also depends on your age and size & if you're not too big of nork! H&M have very similar btw.

stayathomer · 27/04/2024 07:57

I ticked no but keep coming back to look at it which says something! Gorgeous gorgeous dress though op!!

Idontjetwashthefucker · 27/04/2024 07:57

I don't think it's special enough for a wedding, I'd wear that as a sundress on holiday...or here if we ever get the weather

RoundRedRobin · 27/04/2024 08:01

I’m another who first thought it was a nighty 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think you can find much prettier dresses than this for a wedding.

SoftPuppyBlanket · 27/04/2024 08:07

It looks 'cheap' to me.
Unless you have a really small bust you will look like a serving wench!!

This.

It's not that it looks remotely bridal but it will look very white in photos. I think it's a nice enough dress but pretty casual.

Comefromaway · 27/04/2024 08:15

The Hose of CB one is made of stretch cotton. The Chinese copy one is made of polyester.

Willmafrockfit · 27/04/2024 08:16

i love it

FrogTheWarrior · 27/04/2024 09:20

I’d be worrying about my tits falling out all day, but if you feel comfortable in it good luck to you. I do agree with the old fashioned nightie vibe though.
