Is this dress ok for a March Christening and May wedding

[PregnantPumpkin]

Just that really, do you think this dress is ok for a Christening in a few weeks and a wedding at the end of May?
I'm not quite 3 months post partum yet so like that it's a bit flowy and got some extra material around the stomach area.
Opinions please 😊

In my 20s I wore revealing and smart clothes to weddings and christenings. A sugar pink skirt suit to one and a metallic blue Karen Millen skirt suit to another. In my 30s I went all out with Coast (got a few bargains from eBay). Now I don’t know where I would go.

I also like these ... Are they horrendous?? 🙈😂

They're all fine. Same as your very first one. Lovely for a wedding, a bit much for a christening but not to a ridiculous degree so would be fine for both if you don't mind potentially sticking out a bit as dressier than others.

Well they aren’t current, are very dated, but I think it’s becoming clear that’s your style, so I think in that case any and all are fine, as all that’s happening is you pick variations on the same theme.

Ha! Lots,,😄

I think out of all the dresses you’ve posted, this is the best one.

It’ll be fine for your graduation too as long as the colours match. Can you look up colour of the gowns etc for your uni?

Those are nicer.

The green one is the best you’ve posted so far. I don’t like the others.

Brandy Melville only have 2 slip dresses there. Agree re sandals or pixie boots for feet. I doubt she’d want towering heels.

I was 7 stone and under at that age so agree it can be very hard to find clothes that fit.

Wrong thread

The blue flowery dress you posted is the nicest op, light, floaty, summery and smart and you might get away without a jacket/cardigan. Any christenings i have been to are quite smart, its perfect

why is being "current" more important than budget, comfort, the OP's personal preferences/style, the occasion she's going to, what others will be wearing etc etc.

Such sneering.

Well it’s not more important than budget , the occasion, or comfort no one said that but also not more important than personal preference

you understand she asked opinion right, it would be a bit pointless if everyone just said that’s your preference crack on. It’s hardly like we dragged her screaming from the street to inform her. She asked, we responded.

Would something like this work for you? There's quite a few different colour/pattern options

Agree sorry your second choice is worse! The green one here suggested could be good. Lovely colour with pale skin and red hair, and the square neckline is super flattering on bigger boobs.

Honestly I was trying to fit her brief of something round the tummy but move it away from the dreaded florals.

Sorry I think the blue milkmaid dress is actually the worst on this thread so far and there’s some stiff competition! Unrelated but how many young women while away a Saturday afternoon smoking and playing pool??

I think it's nice and suitable and that people are weird.

These might also suit your style op in terms of shape and aesthetic as you like floral.

and this would be nice on, is lose so would be flattering and more current /wearable.

Nobody has said that and nobody has sneered.

I think the first one is waaay to old for someone your age OP.

Completely agree. Sneering at popular and well used retailers then suggesting clothes twice or three times her budget is so helpful.

Really random thing to find fault with, @Justsomethoughts23. 😄 I’m afraid I haven’t counted them, but it would be quite odd if you wished to prove that what I have seen with my own eyes - whilst also sitting in the pub garden with my friends - does not happen.

I’m fortunate to live in a university city that’s heaving with opportunity - so I guess those same young women might also, over the course of a weekend, be rowing, or playing in an orchestra, or leading a tour group, or whatever; but yes, some of them can be found, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, eating pizza, drinking beer, vaping and playing pool with friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, maybe the odd visiting parent, wearing an easy printed dress, highly likely to have come from one of the local vintage shops.

🤷🏽‍♀️

(My point being that said dress wouldn’t really do for a big event.)

OP, I think every single alternative suggestion made on this thread is way uglier than your original suggestion, which I like. I wonder whether the issue is that the commenters are all old enough to remember that style the first time round so it looks "dated" to them? An issue my mother often has with modern clothes!
