Grey dress as wedding guest

[TeaChocKitKat]

Ladies of mumsnet, can I wear this to a wedding and if so how do I accessorise it?

Nope

No

It looks a lot like nightwear to me, sorry. I think it's the length

No, I think in photos it will appear very bridal, especially if your bottom half isn’t in full shot.

General wedding rule of thumb, if you have to ask then go with a no.

Agree with this, looks like a negligee

To the service no, but reception yep.

That's not suitable, sorry!

No, it's like a nightie

I like it ! Although I wouldn't wear it if I didn't have good legs as it does appear to be above the knee.
It looks more of a gold grey to me. Could be worn with plum coloured jewellery or other bright accessories.

Thanks. It's only the reception / evening do. I'm also short so hoping it won't be that short on me. I was thinking with coloured accessories it might work but maybe not 😞

If you want. Though not sure why you would want to as it’s horrible!

If it’s only for the evening, it’s fine.

If you’re rail thin, it might just be ok as an evening guest. I can’t believe they sell that slip of nothing in giant sizes.

If you are young and slim and it's only evening I would say yes. Definitely not that short for daytime.

But I have worn a grey dress to a wedding with aubergine fascinator, bag and shoes and it was an autumn wedding.

But that would be nice for evening if age and size appropriate

I love it OP and think for the evening do it’s fine!

I really like it. Buy it OP!

Sorry now, but for accessories a pair of fluffy slippers and a hot water bottle might work. 😂

But I'm older and not adventurous or confident or slim enough to even look at something like that, so if I was - I'd go hot pink/fuschia accessories.

Enjoy the wedding!

I actually quite like it and think it would be fine for evening. The only part I don't like is the weird hemline - a bit like a Christmas elf costume. Good job it's not green!

No!!!

Problem with the evening is that it will show as white and glittery under flash photography.

Surely you can find something better.

It looks Christmassy!

How about this instead https://www.monsoon.co.uk/diana-embellished-tea-dress-purple-54286294.html

Why even risk if

No

I always wonder why people try to get white / bridal looking dresses rather than just going for something else

if you have to ask...

I think it's gorgeous.
