Does this wedding guest dress flatter me?

I'm just taking a second look at the photos and doubting myself, I have no confidence in how I look in dresses! Side note, would you wear tights/stockings?

TIA

Does this wedding guest dress flatter me?

Absolutely lovely on you. I’d wear some sheer nude coloured tights but not too opaque.

financialmuddle · 11/05/2025 16:24

It looks fabulous. I'm not sure about the pale pink shoes with it though?

Bigearringsbigsmile · 11/05/2025 16:25

Wow! Looks amazing!

BCBird · 11/05/2025 16:25

I.like it on you. Flesh coloured tights with a sheen to them maybe? It is not a colour I would associate with a wedding though.

IWillJustSayThis · 11/05/2025 16:25

Love the dress but not the colour of the shoes

Hohofortherobbers · 11/05/2025 16:25

It's lovely, yes to sheer nude tights

littlemissprosseco · 11/05/2025 16:25

You look lovely
For a hot day I’d do fake tan/ tinted moisturiser

Leafy3 · 11/05/2025 16:26

You look fabulous in it!

Hayley1256 · 11/05/2025 16:27

It really suits you amd looks lovely, I agree with other comments about the shoes though.

Annascaul · 11/05/2025 16:27

You look lovely. I agree, though; not with those shoes.

EmilyEmerald · 11/05/2025 16:27

Thank you everyone! I already had the shoes and to be honest thought they would go okay, maybe I should go for something different?

It looks great on you.

And yes you should wear tights/stockings to a formal event such as a wedding with that dress - it also helps prevent your shoes from hurting your feet!

littlemissprosseco · 11/05/2025 16:29

If you’re comfy in the shoes, they’re fine. People will be too interested in themselves to really care. If you’ve got to get new shoes just for this occasion I wouldn’t bother

SunshineAndFizz · 11/05/2025 16:36

The dress is really flattering on you, you have a lovely figure.

Tights aren’t my cup of tea, I’d do a bit of fake tan instead.

Peachy2005 · 11/05/2025 17:07

Very nice on you. Shoes are fine I think, hard to tell from pic but I think you have accessorised to pick up their colour. Definitely wouldn’t bother buying new shoes unless you need something more comfortable.

Why? They look more nude to me and completely appropriate

CarpetKnees · 11/05/2025 17:09

I think the dress is lovely, and it looks lovely on you.

30 years ago I'd have said you need tights, but nowadays it isn't necessary unless you feel more comfortable.

WednesdaysChild25 · 11/05/2025 17:10

fake tan rather tights

londongirl12 · 11/05/2025 17:12

Lovely. No to tights for me though, I don’t see the point.

FinallyHere · 11/05/2025 17:13

The dress looks great on you, you look lovely in it. If you are really questioning this, I’d encourage you to find someone to run through colour and style analysis do you get comfortable with looking fabulous. Enjoy.

SisterTeatime · 11/05/2025 17:13

Yes, fake tan rather than tights. I really like the shoes with the dress - it’s sort of nonchalant. Look on Pinterest for bow-tying techniques to get your bow up to scratch. You look lovely.

Anabellie · 11/05/2025 17:14

You look beautiful ❤️. Don’t think that you need tights and agree that the shoes aren’t quite right. Maybe some silver or gold or sparkly sandals to match the jewellery. Next have some nice ones.

AnnParrot · 11/05/2025 17:15

The dress is a great shape and colour for you, you look lovely! I think the shoes are fine.

BathsAreBliss · 11/05/2025 17:15

Gold block heel sandals would look lovely with this dress - if venue appropriate.

Panamacatinahat · 11/05/2025 17:16

Dress and shoes absolutely lovely. You look beautiful.
