Wedding guest shows off dress and people are torn as to whether it’s ‘too bridal’ or looks like ‘lingerie’
A FUTURE wedding guest has taken to social media to gauge public opinion about dress opinions for the event.
She showed off two gowns on Reddit, but people are torn over whether or not they’re appropriate.
Reddit user Blanket Statement (u/blanket_statement-) told readers on the social media platform about a wedding she is going to with an interesting dress code.
She posted two dress options in the group Wedding Attire Approval (Weddingattireapproval)
It is an online community, where people come to ask if an outfit for an upcoming wedding is appropriate.
According to the Reddit user, the theme is a “garden party,” but the wedding dress code is labeled “coastal grandma, light colors/floral.”
“I own both but don’t really know where to go with the theme,” she wrote.
The first option was a Yellow the Label Roxie Midi Dress, $98, in, you guessed it, yellow.
The elegant slip dress had a bodice trimmed with white lace.
The second option was a Free People Theo Sweater Midi, $78, in the shade Sand Jam.
The ripped sweater knit dress was midi length with dropped armholes.
The comment section was filled with conflicting opinions.
Some people offered shopping advice, while others offered not-so-nice words.
“Odd dress code but I’d keep looking. The first one is too bridal and the second is casual,” a reader commented.
Someone else wrote: “Everyone saying 1 is bridal has me very confused. It’s a yellow dress. I think it reads more ‘lingerie’ or ‘date night’ than bridal.”
“Wow. Dress codes are really getting out of hand,” another chimed in.
A critic added that “people are outrageous with dress codes.”
