Casual wedding attire advice.

Hello I have a back garden type wedding to go to and just wondered if this would be ok to wear?

I could put a belt round it, and obviously pair it with a nice pair of shoes or boots. Would that be appropriate or not good enough for a wedding?

Tia, I am not good with fashion or social events x

Has anybody actually said it’s casual or are you just assuming it’s casual because it’s going to be in the garden?

Personally I think yes, it’s too casual and also not really in fashion at the moment. It’s the sort of dress people were wearing in about 2010.

I would keep looking OP, lots of lovely summer dresses out there at the moment.

@weddingwaiting yes it has been specified that it is casual, but still don't want to be too casual.

Thanks I'll keep looking!

Eek sorry OP but the 2010 comment was spot on - I owned a very similar dress back then! The black top and the bubble skirt is very dated. I find a midi length is perfect for a wedding, formal enough without looking like a bridesmaid. Without more criteria it's hard to know what you'd like, but something like this would be a better option?
