That is really lovely. Not mumsy, but with some lovely traditional nods. Loving the sleeves too.

somanychristmaslights · 31/01/2026 19:46

Yes that’s lovely, go for it!

Cannedlaughter · 31/01/2026 19:47

I think it’s lovely. You could add a hat, shoes, bag with a colour from the flower pattern.

Zov · 31/01/2026 19:47

That's gorgeous! 😍

newbie202020 · 31/01/2026 19:47

Absolutely love it! What time of the year is the wedding?

MakemineaGandT · 31/01/2026 19:48

Of course, if you’ll feel good in it? Does it reflect your usual style? It’s certainly appropriate for a wedding. It’s definitely not at all fashionable though. I do think £349 is a high price tag for it too (though it is 100% silk).

What sort of style/labels do you usually wear?

LadyDancealot · 31/01/2026 19:48

Absolutely beautiful - you clearly do have an eye for fashion as you’ve found that rare thing of a stylish, fashionable elegant dress. Wishing you and your daughter a fabulous day.

IggyAce · 31/01/2026 19:49

I like it, pick a hat, bag and shoes in one of the colours of the flowers, perhaps a pale pink.

HeddaGarbled · 31/01/2026 19:49

Ooh, yes, really nice.

Woo383040 · 31/01/2026 19:52

Very nice. I’ve got something similar in silk from Hobbs and the fabric is lovely.

nicky2512 · 31/01/2026 19:53

Love it!

Valentina2027 · 31/01/2026 20:09

A perfect dress

Lindtnotlint · 31/01/2026 20:17

Gorgeous and totally appropriate.

StMichaelPenkevil · 31/01/2026 20:32

My Aunt has just bought this dress today for a wedding she is attending in May. It is absolutely stunning so, go for it!

Hobbys have a 20% off if you spend over £250 in their stores that ends tomorrow so get it quickly if you can.

Seagroves · 31/01/2026 20:38

It’s beautiful 🤩

dancingkween · 31/01/2026 20:45

Thank you all so much for the reassurance. Its a late spring wedding. Could I wear navy shoes and have a different colour bag? Would that look odd?

It would look much better than matching your bag and shoes. It’s a beautiful dress, you could pick up any one of the other colours for your bag.

I’m no fashionista but I think it’s lovely.
Let the dress do the talking so keep accessories neat and discrete. Don’t swamp it. Wear hosiery too for a polished look.
Id try to pick out colours from the pattern.
I hope you have a lovely day.

hattie43 · 31/01/2026 21:30

That’s a beautiful dress

savvy7 · 31/01/2026 21:31

I had my eye on this for a wedding I'll be a guest at and I think I've got a pretty good eye for clothing. I think it'd be better with lighter shoes though - navy would be too harsh I think

What colour shoes would you suggest?

Really nice. Not fussy, just stylish.

Navy shoes are fine, they look good on the model in the picture.

savvy7 · 31/01/2026 21:48

If you look at this similar Rixo dress I think it looks better with a paler shoe

Everything about it is perfect - the colour, the neckline, the sleeves and the skirt. I really like it.

Where is the wedding to be held? If in a church, then I'd choose navy shoes, but if in a barn or hotel maybe a paler colour.
