Would this be appropriate for a wedding?

As above really. Hoping it's patterned enough to be appropriate, it's a close friend of my boyfriend getting married - we'll only have been together around 9 months by the time of the wedding and I really want to make a good impression.

I'm 5'6 and a size 12 if that helps - but very booby!

Looks perfect.

Largestlegocollectionever · 18/05/2025 14:22

Yes it’s lovely! Def pink enough, patterned, not wedding dress style to cause any issues

Loveduppenguin · 18/05/2025 14:22

Looks fine to me 🙌

I wore this dress in a different colour to a wedding last year!
You’ll be able to find this on Vinted as this dress has been around a while - think I paid £12 for mine 😊
If you haven’t purchased from AX Paris before I find their sizing is quite generous for the big boobs among us 😊

@brassbedknobsamazing thanks for the tip! Getting on vinted now 👌 thanks everyone for the reassurance!

It is pretty but the cut out on the waist wouldn’t be appropriate for a more traditional church wedding. Where is the ceremony?

It’s 2025! No one actually cares about that kinda stuff any more…

MrsPlantagenet · 18/05/2025 14:56

It’s fine.

Coconutter24 · 18/05/2025 14:58

It’s a beautiful dress but I tried this on but in the orange and cream version. It looked beautiful on the hanger but not so great on I’m 5ft5 size 12 and booby. It looked very unflattering

It's perfect but this is MN, so get ready for :

it's too nice and you'll take attention from the bride
there's white on it
the cut out will show your fanny if you sit weird
the one shoulder look is too much bare flesh
the pleats will reflect the camera flash
it's too long
too floaty
too much material

Do you have a brown sack instead to be on the safe side?

This is S&B though so people are mainly nice!

@Megifer that made me laugh a lot - and I agree that's what people normally say on here so I was pleasantly surprised!

@Coconutter24 thank you so much, that's really useful to hear given we're the same shape and size - shame there's nowhere i can try it on first!

Edited

I found it in a new look store because they have that range in there. It’s a beautiful dress it really is which is why I was drawn to it but I think it’s the one shoulder and big boobs I found unflattering. It may look different on you but thought I’d give my experience with it being similar sizes.
