is this ok to wear for a wedding?

Its a nice dress, Id wear it (and I dont think you have to be teenager to wear it either, it would look good on anybody). But its def an everyday dress, not a special occasion one.
You could get away with it though if its a more casual wedding or if you are a 'background guest'!😁

Because I like it! I have posted a link to the dress.

That's a beautiful dress @ApolloandDaphne

What else with it? I assume you will need a smart blazer or jacket as it's summer wear. Some good jewellery with the v neck. If it was a longer woolly dress it would be a lot smarter.

I've worn a knitted dress to a funeral with a blazer and it was suitably smart. It was by Threadbare.

Unless you are well above average height I think it will look good.

I think so too. The wedding I am going to is a pub type, artsy, city wedding not a fancy hotel wedding. I think it will work.

Thanks all, especially the kind comments. I’m not the best at picking outfits. I’ve now picked this one

Gorgeous!! Excellent choice. Have a great time at the wedding - you'll look lovely 😊

I hope you enjoy the wedding. I think the first choice was nicer.

That’s much better. You can wear it again too.

Dressing for a funeral and a wedding are really not comparable.

The cut, fabric and length of this dress is much more formal and works great for a wedding if the pattern is your style! Enjoy!

I’d wear that to work, so for me, it’s too casual for a wedding. Sorry OP

Oh this is loads better!

Beautiful! Have a great time!

That one is 1000x better.

Hope you have a lovely time @Kpiallo

It’s miserable and looks cheap… I wouldn’t

That’s lovely. Just enjoy the wedding.

That’s a nice dress too. I’ve got one remarkably similar packed away in my wardrobe in blue, going to get it out now tomorrow morning and have a good look at it as I need a dress for a wedding later in the year. I didn’t realise it was a style that’s in fashion at the moment.

If you need another outfit with the shoes there’s a jacket https://www.wyselondon.com/products/cosima-jacket-midnight-copper-metallic?_gl=19sy5e_upMQ.._gs*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAwNDMBhBfEiwAd7ti1Gad-Rs7HLt8ncmifxk81MC8hdBlESypteN2yh53QILFeoFtIxrD5RoCNCEQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAACqaK2I-XNskSxZ4q20sUq_1PPvZs

This is lovely! Good choice, op!

That's silly, really. There are very expensive clothes that look cheap and vice versa. That said, @Kpiallo, you could have a look on Vinted, I have had some true bargains on there.

Lovely dress you've chosen, similar in style to the one i was going to suggest & it's only £20. Would look nice with gold sandals /shoes & bag.

Enjoy yourself. It's a pretty dress

Why are the two things contradictory?

If you don't even wear a fancy dress to a wedding, the fanciest event most people will attend, when do you dress up?

Fancier than every day dress doesn't automatically mean you'll never wear it again! It's not a binary choice between full on ballgown and something you can wear to the pub/work - which to me is what the new look dress is.

You can wear a "fancy" dress to another wedding, to a special meal, graduation ceremony, award ceremony, work Christmas party - or you can resell it so someone else can wear your fancy dress once and you get some money back.

Obviously it's different if you can't afford a special dress in the first place but to me it's quite sad to never be able to justify buying something a tiny bit out of the ordinary solely because you can't guarantee you'll wear it ten times!
