Should I buy it? Wedding guest outfit

Been eyeing this up for a few months now and it’s gone into the sale, yippee! The only thing is, it’s still £228. It’s probably a little more than I would like to spend considering I got something very similar on the high street for about £60 a few years ago in green and I’d like to buy a hat as well, so I’m wondering if I might still find something similar or if anyone has spotted anything similar recently? Or does anyone have it and can vouch for it? For context it’s a summer wedding, it’s mostly viscose so better value and more breathable than polyester I suppose Smile Would probably need the pink one in the pic taken up as the petite version is sold out.

If you’re tall and willowy I think it would be stunning!

Ah, 5’3 and probably not too willowy I’m afraid, I’ve attached a photo of me in the green one, although I’ve gone up a size since! Probably a bit long on me but like I said, I have no qualms about getting it taken up if needed ☺️

Im 5’3 so I can relate but you look absolutely fabulous in the green!
I hate to enable, but you need the pink!

Yes the pink is stunning! Buy!

Birdsongsinging · Yesterday 17:39

And you look great in the green.

I love the pink, and you look great in the green...so good in fact you really need the pink one too.
When you find something that really suits you, it's never an extravagance; its a necessity.😉

It’s gorgeous and I hate pink!

No hat! That would not go at all.

Scaryspicer · Yesterday 18:45

I also agree no hat! What shoes are you thinking of?

Valpolichella · Yesterday 18:48

It’s lovely, buy immediately! You will look great!

Peppermintcreamz · Yesterday 18:51

Thank you, I’ve attached a pic of said hat for reference, I rather like it!

That hat is just dreadful. And too much with the sashy/drapey jumpsuit.

Scaryspicer · Yesterday 18:55

Hmm I can see the vision with the hat, but I still personally think no hat.

Blingismything · Yesterday 18:56

Love it! You could hire a hat instead of buying one.

CoastalCalm · Yesterday 18:57

How many times have you worn the green ? It’s a lot for a wedding if you’re only going to wear a couple of times

Idontjetwashthefucker · Yesterday 19:06

It doesn't need a hat

Valpolichella · Yesterday 19:20

I LOVE the hat! Do it op, with white shoes and bag. Stunning.

Apileofballyhoo · Yesterday 19:23

It's lovely, OP. You look stunning in the green.

PyongyangKipperbang · Yesterday 19:23

I like the outfit and I like the hat but they don't go together. Either the hat with quite a plain outfit as the hat is the statement piece, or the outfit and no hat for the same reason.

sassyduck · Yesterday 19:27

Gorgeous dress. You need to buy it.

NovemberMorn · Yesterday 19:28

I think a spray of flowers worn in an updo would look better than a hat, but if you like the statement hat....go for it.

Peppermintcreamz · Yesterday 21:32

Noted re the hat, I think I’ll have a ponder over it but I might get the jumpsuit anyway for now!
