Grey dress as wedding guest

[TeaChocKitKat]

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

The colour is fine op. I’ve been to a wedding with the mob in a similar colour and you’re only going to the reception.

Wow. Fat shaming out in full force.

I like it - great for a evening do.

It's fine OP, if you like it then wear it - and ignore the miserable sods on here!

I think it's beautiful. Not sure what some mumsnetters wear to bed but since I am usually in pink fluffy pjs from primark it doesn't look like nightwear to me🤷‍♀️

It looks more of an antique white than a grey. I wouldn't...

I like it ! I think wear with silver accessories

I think it's beautiful and I would wear that

I think it's a lovely dress. The model is 5 foot 10 so it'll probably be knee length on the self confessed petite OP. Looks perfect for an evening wedding reception.

No, colour ruins it for me. Hope you find something.

This thread is fast becoming like ‘the dress that broke the internet’ 😄

Yes, I wasn't expecting this many comments or such differing opinions 😁

What’s your thoughts are you going to buy the beautiful dress?

I think it's fine for the evening.

It doesn't look like it will be very forgiving but if you're got the figure for it, it's pretty.

I think it looks like nightwear too. Sorry OP.

Not very forgiving? She’s not asking for contrition. It’s a dress not a priest taking confession.
Dress size shouldn’t dictate what women should wear.They should wear what they want, irrespective of their figures. Dress size doesn’t mean wear a sack if you’re above sz12

I think it's pretty, though maybe a bit flimsy. If you wear it, I hope it's a sunny day. You need to be young, slim and a with a bit of a tan to get away with it. A pink pashmina would be nice, and also a slip underneath so that it doesn't cling to your thighs and puffs out the skirt a little.

No. It looks like a really flimsy nightie and all those sparkles say Office Christmas Party to me, not Summer Wedding.

Dress size shouldn’t dictate what women should wear. They should wear what they want, irrespective of their figures.

Of course they should. But only if they genuinely don't care what other people think. Only if they can brush off the sniggers and the stares. Only if they have the hide of an absolute rhino. Only if they self confidence the size of a planet and give zero fucks. Only then.

Well it has sold out in 22 so there could be a lot of weddings happening in the next few weeks!

I think it's fine for a guest, I didn't look at what people were wearing at mine.

What a load of negativity and nonsense.

Even conceding for the sake of argument your point is valid, this particular dress isn't even a tight fitting, body con dress. It's intended to hang loose on the model and if the wearer wears the right size it'll hang loose on a size 8 or an 18 or a size 10 or a 20.

A size 20 trying to squeeze into a size 16 isn't going to look great. A size 20 wearing a dress designed and made in a size 20 - no issues.

I just meant I thought it's likely to cling as it's quite flimsy-looking. I never said anything about what size a person needs to be to wear it. Women of all sizes can worry about their tummies or whatever. It's not wear this or wear a sack, is it? If you're confident in your body, then great, not everyone is.

It's peculiar looking imo.

I think it’s quite attractive, and definitely fine for an evening reception at the wedding.

I agree with previous posters that it would not look great on a plus size person.
But if a plus size person wants to wear it that’s their choice. Other choices are available but if they choose to wear this that’s up to them.
