If I wore this to your wedding or child’s christening

would you think this were inappropriate (minus the flip flops)?

It's lovely, but more holiday vibe rather than a more formal occasion.

Not inappropriate, I think its great!

I'd love to see it at a Christening, it's so fun and kiddie-friendly. I'm not sure it would work for the tone of a wedding.

I think it’s fine. Christenings see to be quite casual these days anyway. It looks like normal holiday/sundress, I don’t think people will be bothered about it or even notice!

It's a holiday dress to be thrown on over a bikini for lunch, IMO.

I’d assume you popped by on your way to a holiday.

I don’t think it’s appropriate, more holiday beach wear ?

plus where the archways are located is a bit front entrance/ back entrance which wouldn’t be appropriate for a church !

A wedding/christening on a beach - yep!

I'd think it was absolutely lovely and go online to order myself one, but once I'd looked at the price, I'd think you had more money than sense 😂
It really is lovely though

If you are 5ft11 and a size 4 like the model perhaps you could pull it off, but honestly, yes I would do a double take if I saw that on a mere mortal at a formal occasion. Probably just to admire your audacity.

I think with the right accessories, this would look very elegant actually. Don't really get the beach vibe, it would be obviously a very expensive dress.

Each to their own, wear it if you want to but personally I think it's more of a summer beach type dress. Would certainly be a conversation starter.

I love it!!
Christening without hesitation and think it would depend on the type of wedding.

Ultimately wear what makes you feel amazing - life’s too short 🩷

It’s a bit casual, but could probably be styled to be more formal. I think there are other Alemais dresses that would be more suitable.

no - too casual.

I don't see a problem with it, it's elegant and much better than wearing a skimpy dress in church.

I think it's more suitable for a holiday.

People are so weird about “wedding attire” on here. Nearly every thread regarding what to wear to a wedding has poster upon poster declaring the chosen garment “not formal enough”. I wonder if they’ve actually been to a wedding in the last 30 years.

Well the model is wearing flip flops because it's a beach outfit.
Definite no for a wedding.
Cautious maybe for a christening

I really dislike it.

That’s great. Would probably have me humming Under the Sea 😁

Initially I thought "No that's lovely" then she started walking around and it gave off too much of a beach vibe. So final answer is no, it's not appropriate for christening or wedding

Six hundred and fifty quid for a beach robe! You must be joking….

I love it! I really couldn't care less what someone wears to a wedding etc unless it's another wedding dress 🤣

I would wonder why you had worn a beach cover up instead of a dress tbh. And I am generally not very judgmental or even observant about other people’s clothes.
