    Hi everyone , I have a wedding coming up in a fortnight and was just looking for opinions on this dress. Just wondering in terms of weddings how short of a dress would be ok? I mean I know it's up to personal perference but how short is appropriate? I picked this dress up, it's not the same colour as the one on the link but same style. If you could watch the short video on the page because the length of the dress is actually more accurate in the video than the pictures. It's about the same length on me as it is on the model in the video, maybe a tiny bit shorter but no much. Any opinions would be great, thanks.

    I've worn a shorter dress to a wedding. :o

    Looks fine to me. But if you're not comfortable wearing it to the occasion then don't. You'll be uncomfortable all day.

    yeah it's just that I'm quite tall so dress is about 3 maybe four inches above my knee

    My friend had the same worry about this dress. On the hanger it looks incredibly short. She is quite tall so had thought it was too short for a wedding. But when she tried it on, it is not too short in my opinion. Its a beautiful dress.

    Would you not go for this dress, as modelled by Lily Allen's sister at her recent wedding? :D

    That dress is fine, even 3 or 4 inches above the knee... I wore a dress about 3 inches above the knee to a wedding in December (with dark tights) and it didn't look short at all. And given that we're now in summer, a short dress is absolutely fine! :) Once you're comfortable in it, I'd say go for it! :D

    If you have the legs for it - show them off! That dress is not too short at all, quite modest really, I was expecting to open a link to a belt!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Pretty Polly


    Don't worry, judging by the picture its definitely not to short. Its best to wear something that you do feel comfortable in though:)
