Weeding guest outfit

Thinking of this Mint Velvet dress for a summer wedding in north of England next year. The dress code is formal and I have nude LK Bennett suede wedges. Will buy a gold or brightly coloured bag as well. Is this dress formal enough? (And I know, I'm getting ahead of myself, but I do like to be organised 😂)

Yellow tone sleeveless midi dress featuring a slash neckline, asymmetric drop waistline, crinkle texture with a zip fastening through the back.

It’s a nice dress op. I’d wear yellow in spring. Sadly I’m too big for their dresses.

I’m trying to get organised myself as weddings in spring and autumn next year, I have not found anything.

I was looking at that exact dress yesterday also for a summer wedding. It’s really lovely.

Disappointed this wasn’t a thread about making your guests don some gardening outfits.

Or even a wedding guest dress. 🙄

I've only seen it online. Did you try it on and if so what was the fit like? I'll go to a shop next week to try it on.

Not sure it’s v appropriate for weeding 😄

It's beautiful. Sadly I would look like a de-skinned baby bell in it!

It’s nice and suitable for formal. Butter yellow is very much a colour of this summer so it might look a bit last year if you are bothered about fashion.

That is true. But having looked at 2027 colours (coral, teal, bright blue), they’re unlikely to suit me. Think I can live with being a bit dated.

Has it arrived, how did it fit?

It’s arrived and is a perfect fit. It’s quite long on me as I’m only 5’ 5” but it hangs beautifully. It’s quite sheer so need to be careful with underwear. DD thinks it might be a little pale and could look almost white in photos so I’m going to run it past the MoB.

I hope it will be ok, it look quite bright in the photo. Some yellows are like that and in the photos look white which isn’t fair on the bride.
