Weddings guest wedding guest outfit

Hi all. Do you think this outfit is suitable for a summer wedding as a family guest? I probably would have it taken up to a midi style.. The other alternative is a bridesmaid dress, but nit the same colur scheme as the bridesmaids. Tia

I like it!

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 07/05/2026 16:15

I like it too - and I like the length (depending on how tall you are) - I think it’s elegant.

LateMumma · 07/05/2026 16:23

I like it as well!

Looks fine to me.

Millymollymandy4 · 07/05/2026 17:08

It’s lovely - very sophisticated - please don’t shorten - it’s beautiful - a show stopper

Oh I’d take it up a bit or it will look like it swamps you

Allseeingallknowing · 07/05/2026 17:09

Is it silk?

I love it. Very elegant and sophisticated.

Sesquipedahlia · 07/05/2026 17:25

Is it sweeping the floor and genuinely unwearable? Because it would be a shame to shorten it, given the placed print.

(Dresses ‘swamping’ the wearer seems to be a bit of an obsession on MN. I don’t get it at all.)

It needs an iron and depending on the fabric, I'd worry it would look crumpled on the day. It reminds me of a kimono or dressing gown for some reason.

I'd worry about getting the sleeves in my meal, but otherwise, if you like it and find it suits you, then go for it.

Is it two pieces? If so you could shorten the skirt from the top not the hem?

ToastSafeFromMothsAndDogs · 07/05/2026 19:08

Yes. Full length looks fab imo.

No, unfortunately not

Another 2 options below. I will also be in the immediate family photos as I'm the Auntie 🙂

Don’t think the see through one is appropriate!
