Sleeved dress for an August barn wedding? Am I going to be too hot!

[RLG92]

I absolutely love this dress but worrying it's going to be too hot for an August wedding!

The sleeves are net with a bit of lace, they won’t make you hot.

Wear the dress if you love it.

Why would it be too hot? It's just a bit of net on most of your top half! I assume you usually wear more

I don't think they'd make any difference.

It looks a bit fussy for a barn wedding. It's not the sleeves, but the bodice will be hot and uncomfortable if there's a heatwave.

TBH where I live it tends to cool down quite a lot in August, and the evenings are decidedly chilly (I'm in South Yorkshire)

I don't think it's the sleeves that's the problem, it's the acres of polyester/nylon - in particular that nude netting looks as sweaty as a ball sack

This. I think this was trying to be a humblebrag tbh but it's clearly not worked out in OPs favour.

. They're not really sleeves, you might not feel hot but you'll really sweat with so much nylon netting next to your skin.
I love the bottom of the train. I find the back a bit too low cut at the bottom. I'd feel uncomfortable showing that much to assorted male relatives as I stand at the front.

The back of the dress really isn't great ☹️

What @hambledon says. Get someone to check you from behind - not standing still, but moving and bending - because bra straps and bridal bum-crack will not be a good look!

I think the sleeves will annoy you and get in the way. Like others have said don't like the nude netting either. Sorry

It's a beautiful dress but just not what I'd picture for a barn wedding? Something simpler might a) make you feel more comfortable, there's a lot of moving around involved in being a bride for the whole day/night and b) fit the 'vibe' a bit better!

I agree with the other posters. You look lovely in it but I don't think it looks right for a wedding in a barn. I think you'll be sticky and uncomfortable in it. Sorry!

Agree with pps that it looks too elaborate for a barn wedding. Also, bridal bum crack.

Sorry OP but I don't think you've found the one. I think you can find something much more flattering. It's not just the back, I don't think the front does anything for you either. Sorry!

Looks very fussy and high-maintenance for a barn wedding if you want honest opinions.

Much nicer more appropriate dresses out there, but if you love it, wear it!

It looks beautiful and regardless of venue if you like it why not? Its your choice .
