Should I keep the dress?!

Attending a wedding in October, it’s quite an extravagant wedding abroad where the ladies will be wearing floor length gowns.

I found a beauty from Self Portrait in the sale. NEVER have I spent this much on a dress (and what is even more annoying is that realistically I’m only likely to wear it for this one occasion!).

I have well and truly fallen for it and just think it is utterly stunning. However, would it be crazy for me to keep it (I had a further discount code so ended up paying £330.. still extortionate for a one time wear, I know!).

Black Rhinestone Fishnet Crossover Maxi Dress

Rhinestone-studded fishnet lends this dress its starry, sculpted feel, while an artful wrapped bodice and flared skirt work to flatter your form. Enhance its sparkle with our statement earrings.

It's stunning in a Maleficent/bad fairy kind of way. Not sure for a wedding but if it's very glam it could work.

For me its giving Morticia Addams vibes.

Fabulous dress. No idea what’s appropriate for your event but if you think it is I’d definitely keep it.

And just to reassure you - not everyone thinks £330 is a vast amount for an item of clothing! The dress you’ve chosen is well worth it, whether you keep it or sell it on.

It’s beautiful. I couldn’t bear to get rid of it.
