is this dress too casual for a wedding? I am not as tall as the model so it sits at my knees.

Thanks

It's lovely. The way it's tied at the back makes it look a bit too casual. If that wasn't there it could be dressed up nicely with the right shoes etc.

I think it's far too casual tbh and also too short for a wedding/

Nice dress ...but I recon it's probably on the short side and probably a bit on the casual side as well..but saying that it all depends on the type of wedding you are going to.

Nice dress. Too casual imo, but I'm no expert!

It's a lovely dress but it's too casual for a wedding. Perhaps if it was the day after the wedding for a bbq or something.

Depends on the accessories I think.
Could go either way!

Thanks for the replys.. The wedding is a humanist ceremony with a bbq after all in the same place.. was going to accessorise with heels but not sure about jewellery

OP, I think it's a nice dress, but you'd probably need to dress it up a bit. This one from Swamp is very similar and my local Swamp had it on a mannequin with a little jacket over it and heels and a necklace and it looked nice. If you have a Swamp near you, you might be able to have a look.

ETA: I didn't try it on but I held the dress up to me and it was knee length on me and I'm 5 3". It says there that the model is 5 11", so obviously it's a lot shorter on her.

+1 to it being far too casual.

I actually don't think you can dress it up very much; it won't look right with lots of jewellery. It's designed to be a simple, pretty dress and not an occasion dress.

It's lovely - I would wear it at the weekend or even to work but definitely not to wedding.

I would look for something else OP. Sorry!

I for one think this changes things slightly - as it's not the normal 'formal' wedding, then I think you could get away with it for this.

Ok so it looks now that I will only be going to the after a due to babysitter cancelling.. so with heels (black or pop of colour red) and thinking maybe rose gold jewellery would it be ok

I Would consider it too casual and too short for an after reception or otherwise- nothing worse than a too short dress at a wedding. Sorry that just my honest opinion. Dresses for same price but smarter on that site.

Thanks for replys. Personally I'm not worried about length as sitting on my knees is good look for my height. Just about shape and if it can be dressed up for afters. Thanks

Have you bought the dress already?

It's what I would call a nice "day dress". However with some great heels (maybe red?) and bag/jacket it could be really nice for an afters.

Enjoy the wedding

For what it is worth : I think it is clearly an "afternoon tea " dress rather than evening ; the dark background colour is funereal, the dress looks cheap (too short, sleeves too girly), and the neck is too covered up.....Sorry...

I don't think it's too casual at all. Especially if you're just going to the afters and it sounds like a fairly casual wedding.

The only thing I can see wrong with it is the length. It wouldn't work on me (even with black tights as a day dress!) as I'm very tall. But for someone of your height with some nice shoes and accessories it'll be lovely.

I used to work in a 5* hotel that had weddings every weekend. Many people going to the afters (and sometimes the full thing) would wear these sort of dresses.

I'm no prude but i would consider that too short for a wedding.

The OP said a couple of times that it is at her knees. Username checks out!

I missed that - the username should have pointed it out to me!

All eyes will be on the Bride. If you like your dress, wear it and have a great day.

Hi all thanks for all the replys just to let ye all know I wore the dress in the end with red heels and silver jewellery I thought it looked ok.. I only ended up going from 3pm till 9pm and had a baby in toe so felt didn't need to dress up too much as could be pucked on at any stage. In general the wedding had a very wide spectrum of fashion from proper glitz dresses all the way to a black jumper dress with flat ankle boots so I felt my dress fall in the middle main thing was I didn't feel under dressed. I feel fashion at weddings has changed alot it looks like anything goes. There was alot of black dresses which I was steering clear of as felt april wedding wasn't approriate but it just showed that it really is each to their own.

Glad you were happy with it OP, I was going to say that any wedding I've been at in the last 5 years has had a wide array of styles with some people going uber dressy with hats etc and some people going fairly low key and casual. I would say 'anything goes' these days.
