Hi looking for honest opinions please! I love this but is it OK for a wedding evening do? Too ‘daytime’? https://www.reiss.com/style/st995971/a76337#a76337

thanks!

It’s gorgeous. Any update OP?

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood.
I thought you meant too much like the guests who had been at the daytime event. Blush Oops.

No, it’s okay it was definitely my wording that was confusing.

My experience of Reiss dresses like this is that they look better on an actual person than the models in their catalogue.

I like your style OP! Both of those dresses are gorgeous. Please update us when it arrives.

I doubt anyone is faking Reiss. I sell Reiss on eBay bnwt at about 10 pc of retail price. I pay a pound an item wholesale for past season so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Oh that's interesting! I bought something from Vinted - a Zara top - and the seller sells absolutely tons of their stuff, all new or worn once. I wondered how she was doing it! (Unless that is you, too?!)

Just an update to say the dress arrived and it’s a keeper! It hangs really well and is most certainly less ragged like then it looked in the eBay pic.

I’m really pleased and also relieved that the search is over. Thanks everyone for the comments.

Only one tiny point, is that it’s going to need a complicated low back bra. I was hoping that the ties at the back would cover the bra straps, but that’s not going to work.

Not too daytime but I hope you fill it out better than that model!

WhatdoesitmeanKeith · 29/08/2025 11:12

Another update, I’m considering looking for something else. I absolutely love the dress and the weight of it means that it hangs really well etc, but the thing I’m struggling with is a suitable bra.

So, potentially back to the drawing board. This is the only other one I’ve seen that I like. Is it in any way suitable for an evening do?

I know what you mean! I do, but the irony of a dress made to be warm without a bra, but with cups that size.

Gymbunny2025 · 29/08/2025 21:46

I would say no personally to the second one

Idontjetwashthefucker · 29/08/2025 22:46

Don't like the free people one, it's very...drab

That dress looks awful on the model very unflattering and on Vinted it looks like a dish rag!
Hopefully it will look better on you!

I will never understand why sellers on Vinted don’t bother to iron the clothes they are selling. Just pages and pages of crumpled rags. You would think they would want the clothes to look their best.

I’ve recently received a jacket, seller said it had a couple of marks inside the hood, which I thought was ok as I could take the lining out and replace it. When the jacket arrived I could smell it through the plastic wrap it was in and the whole jacket was filthy and covered in stains 🤢🤢 when I contacted the seller she actually stated that she did tell me that it had a couple of marks on it!
Well no she didn’t state it was as disgusting as what it was!
It was also covered in animal hair and it was stinking!!

That’s awful. Some people are so unprincipled. 🤬
