‘Looks like you’ve not bothered’ people slam wedding guest’s ‘teacher like’ dress that she’ll ‘wear to the office’ after
FINDING the perfect wedding guest outfit is no easy task and each wedding has it’s own set of dress code to follow.
But one woman has been slammed online for her wedding outfit choice as it looks like she’s made no effort at all.
Taking to social media, she asked for some advice on her wedding guest dress, and hoped to make use for it after as well.
She wrote: “Can I wear something like this to a wedding (with heels)?
“I suit slightly 50s styles and this colour, and I’d like sleeves (it’s an autumn wedding, and a Catholic one).”
But it seemed even she wasn’t sure on the style as she added ‘Is it too teacher like?’
The dress in question was form Amazon and cost £35.52 and came in five colours, but she opted for the red.
The frock came down just past the knees and had a collar, long sleeves and was buttoned down all the way.
It also featured a tie belt to cinch in the waist.
Amazon bosses say: “An elegant dress that’s perfect for any event.
“Flattering wear-to-work, casual essential dress.”
But it seemed not everyone was impressed by the look and she even admitted to wanting to wear it daily as well.
She continued: “And to be honest I did think to myself that I can keep it to wear to the office after the wedding “
The post went viral on Mumsnet and plenty of people took to the comments to share their thoughts.
It seemed everyone agreed the outfit was way too casual for a wedding and looked more like office attire.
One person wrote: “It”‘s more something I’d wear to an office.
Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette
If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble.
- Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom.
- Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided.
- Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream – even if it’s not.
- Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered.
- Wearing white is a massive no-no if you’re not the bride.
