Could I wear this as a wedding guest or is it too white?

Ignore the long beads....they are distracting

Low cut just isn’t appropriate for a wedding, it’s not a case of being prudish, it’s just a bit weird unless it’s a black tie wedding.

If you are young and gorgeous, no. If the bride is noticeably younger and more attractive than you, it’s fine.

I’m not sure if it’s just too big for the model but that one looks badly tailored.

I don’t think floor length and low cut is the way to go for a wedding. Is it in the day? It wasn’t just the white of the other, it’s the silhouette.

I like it in the first colour (pink boho one) the other way round but on the white one the seam that then would be running straight up the front looks really obvious and odd, especially as the dots wont be complete due to the seam.

Maybe not to your face

The pink and blue print versions of this dress are absolutely stunning and so much more appropriate

Agreed. It just looks like a dress worn back to front.

I don’t think it’s very well cut whichever way you wear it. Remember these are sales photos not the reality.

I’d go for something a few inches shorter with more movement in it. Unless it’s black tie dress code, that long length looks like a sleeping bag. And the front isn’t just low cut it’s flappy and badly cut.

not the sort of thing I would consider wearing to a wedding to me it screams holiday beach wear. its a bit low cut and sort of sheer waffty It is white but not plain white

The blue one is also a slightly better length.

It may just be that the plain pink was way too big for the model. The bust area looks ridiculous - like a three year old trying on mummy’s dresses.

It screams evening dress and black tie to me. Is it an evening wedding? Both are a bit odd in my view. Only on MN does everyone get a long dress. Yes, if specified on invitation but the shiny discs are a leftover from a disco diva era. So many great dresses in the market - why these? Both a no. Neither are chic or classy and both trying too hard to get noticed.

If you have to ask, then don't. I also agree with PP, they really say holiday resort beachwear and that in photos it will probably look all white. It also doesn't look great on the model (particularly the pink one) which isn't a good sign

Goodness, some mumsnetters must go to some very formal weddings. While I don't like the dress, it doesn't look like a beach dress or too casual for a wedding.

They must think that my family are a scruffy lot if they had attended the family wedding I went to a couple of years ago.

One of the guests was wearing a dress similar to this one, and looked lovely.

From what I gather on these threads is if the dress is white but with coloured pattern it’s a no

if it’s a coloured dress with white pattern a yes

so this would be a no

Is it a Kardashian wedding! Too white,too revealing, agree about the beach coverup remark.. it's always been the case,no white or black for a wedding. White for brides, black for funerals, and don't detract from the bride.. reminds me of a drag act I saw.

That’s so much more appropriate though. The hemline is a better length, the bodice fits properly rather than promising a flash of boob and the pattern is categorically non bridal.

Weddings, as with all dressing, have become less formal imo. Rules are dying out. People don’t even know the rules. At some it’s borderline whether the men should wear ties.

The other colours in this dress look much nicer than the white.

Not what you’re asking.. but that is a crazy price for synthetic. I would rethink on that basis alone!

(Whether it’s appropriate for the wedding you’re going to; it completely depends on the setting/vibe. Very english/traditional church wedding would probably be a no… boho/beachy/festival style/cool wedding would be fine)

I don't think anyone wore a tie at the last wedding I went to @TheOGCCL

It's a lovely dress, but not for a wedding. I bet it's see through when the sun shines on it too.

I like it. Don't see what would be wrong.

You bet,you mean you don’t know. On basis of not liking it you’ve decided it’s see through

I literally said it's a lovely dress. I like the dress.
I bet it's see through because of the weave of the fabric, the material and the visibility of the layers of fabric at the seams.
Maybe I'm wrong. That's why I said "I bet", not "I know".

Nah. Save it for another event and play it safe.

My DD says she’s been to 27 weddings in the last 6 years. Mostly men wearing suits unless an informal wedding made clear on invitations. Others - long evening dress also made clear on invitations. It depends on who is getting married, what they do as families and what they want for a wedding look.

Half of the look for a wedding is money. One dd went to was morning suit for the men. Others have been in glamorous settings in Italy and Switzerland. These families don’t expect guests looking like they are going down the pub or out for a night on the town. So dress for the type of wedding it is. If you know the couple, you know what to wear but “look at me” shiny embellished cream doesn’t look great anywhere.

I do love mn and the rules regards weddings attire
rules that just don’t exist in real life but are stridently proclaimed on mn
