Aged 46, size 8. Wedding in Sept. Is it a bit prom like, youthful, mutton / lamb?

I think it's too close to looking like a wedding dress tbh

That IS probably the IDEA.
Y should the pride have all the attention.
It IS a practise run

@PepsiMaxPerfect Thank you for your opinion. I have heard it. I bought the dress, I look amazing in it and will have a fantastic day. You can go shave your back now.

Some people have incredibly sad lives so they try to bring others down.

As I said earlier, it's a lovely dress. Also bears out my rule of shopping: If it looks any good on the hanger it won't look good on you. On the hanger, it looks boring and frumpy, but on the model it is superb. I'd wear it if I was still 48.

I know. It's crazy.

What would worry me about the Ghost dress is that so many posters have said they have one/they have seen party and wedding guests wearing them. Can you imagine your dismay if one or two of your guests turned up wearing coloured versions of the same dress.
The lace dress will be perfect. Have a great day.

Not remotely. It’s lovely and elegant, you’ll look beautiful!

Thewheelweavesasthewheelwills · 09/07/2024 10:42

I know you bought it, but it is beautiful. Absolutely not too old for it.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding :)

fluffiphlox · 09/07/2024 12:00

I think it’s most appropriate and elegant - unlike the ‘galleon in full sail’ look adopted by many.

RhiRhi19 · 09/07/2024 12:27
