Hi
Getting married next Easter, elopement style wedding with daughter (28) and her partner as witnesses.
I have been sending pictures of dresses to daughter for her opinion and this came up on my feed. Sent to daughter as I thought it was perfect for me in terms of style, arms covered etc etc.
She hates it!!
For info 57 (age) size 10/12.
Am I loosing my style mojo?

Why would you speak to your daughter like that, strange and aggressive thing to do. OP wanted her dd’s opinion.

Bit worried about actually been mistaken for mother of the bride so will have to tread carefully I think.

Wouldn't that only happen if your daughter looks like a bride?

You say "elopement style" so if there are any guests they'll know it's you getting married!

I wish "elopement" could be used correctly. The OP is having a low key wedding. She is not eloping.

Elopement does mean lowkey wedding these days though usually with a few guests/witnesses.

Natalie Portman looks HIDEOUS, roses for tits and the one on her hips 😆
This is not helping the OPs dress look better, 'on trend' or not. Sorry

I agree with @IHaveAlwaysLivedintheCastle . Eloping is when you run away secretly to get married.

OP- Not read all other posts but have you tried Monsoon?

It's a bit safe in a busy way - think Kaleidoscope catalogue. I'm sure you can find something much lovelier and more stylish.

I was around in the 70s. I can't remember seeing anything like this for sale tbh - though I lived near London. I like it.

I think it looks safe, old and dated and that’s on a young model. In your 50s size 10/12 you can find something to do you justice not be MOB when you’re the bride!. However, at the end of the day, you have to choose something you would like not is randoms. But have you looked at Self Portrait for example?

Yes I agree with another that it’s a bit 70’s George and Mildred
but it’s your day and you can wear anything you like!

Don’t be put off negative comments! If you tried and it looks brilliant on you, get it. People have a different taste. If we liked the same dresses, the world would be boring 🤓

Just found this brand Malina lots of gorgeous dresses here.

I especially like this as a low key day wedding dress

but this or this are also gorgeous

anyway have a browse!

Both really pretty, thanks will check it out.

Made in/ distributed from China. I wouldn't if I were you. Buying a £50 dress you've only seen on the internet from China is one thing, trying to return a £500 dress that bears little resemblance to the one you spotted on the internet when the sizing is all wrong is something else. You'd be mad to risk it.

Oh really!! I didn’t realise. Thanks for the warnings. Shame as the designs are lovely.

My brain cant decide whether I like it or not I'd need to see it on you! The colour makes me very nostalgic it's the same colour my mum wore to my wedding.

Absolutely green, of the minty kind.

I'm so glad you managed to decipher my old lady typing... Just substitute letters and words until it makes sense 🤣

Yeah the ornamental cabbages make it a no from me too. They are just too weird on an otherwise completely plain and rather dull dress.

The colour reminds me of the hospital teacups from the 1970s as they were in the same colour!

Needle & Thread ballerina length dress

Oh that Needle and Thread dress is lovely for a bride!

Not sure about this one. Might make you look like a pregnant set of net curtains.
