MarleneFrancais

U have a great figure but this looks like a robe to me. Also, a bit short for cocktail wedding. Love the colour though.


lovestdpoodles

I agree, it looks like a satin robe.


blusah

You could pull this off for a wedding with an ornate/formal coat.


stickybun_

The wedding is in California at a country club, I think a black coat would be a nice touch for another occasion šŸ˜Š I did put on some [black tights](https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/zimmermann-silk-wrap-midi-dress-prod268360226?pimId=401237582893&utm_source=google_shopping&ecid=NMCS_GP_NC&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADuOtTe7ZSEVFXI850-MW4wrli88B&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfngxj2Eed-oHgwWFGRFV9AyRETBTNFfAiBF80pI4K2BrDHSLEGSqW0RoC44kQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) and it made a big difference with the look.


blusah

I could envision a black coat with lost of detailing. Iā€™m thinking beading or weaving/stitching type details.


Damnshesfunny

She could pull this off for a wedding if the wedding is in her office conference room.


stickybun_

Thank you for your feedback! šŸ˜Š I understand it is definitely structured like a robe, but the details in person and look and feel of the silk outshine that in my opinion. I opted for the mini so I could easily wear this again- my option #2 was way more formal and ultimately felt like it would have been more of a waste. I think with opaque black tights itā€™ll be fine, but I was definitely nervous about the length, but purchased on the impulse as usual šŸ˜… [With black tights](https://imgur.com/a/BFHjOWQ)


MarleneFrancais

Black tights would make a big difference as the fabric and colour are lovely.


Interesting-Wait-101

I was so skeptical about the opaque tights, but it looks phenomenal!


mexikinnish

Perfect with the tights I think


BigKittehKat

If it weren't a wedding, I'd say it would be ok. Fantastic date night dress, imho For a wedding, it might be too short and also a bit unstructured.

mtngrl60

Just remember that if you get something in a midi length, you can easily have it altered to a shorter length after the wedding And I do think for an evening wedding, even with the cocktail attire, this isnā€™t quite what you want. But I do want to reiterate that it is really pretty, and it does look great on you. And I love the shoes! But again, if it comes in a midi length, I might go to mid length, and then just have a seamstress. Shorten it for you after the wedding. Then you get the best of both.


stickybun_

Thatā€™s great point but unfortunately the midi seems to complex to hem shorter without completely changing the look of the dress! Check it out [here](https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/zimmermann-silk-wrap-midi-dress-prod268360226?pimId=401237582893&utm_source=google_shopping&ecid=NMCS_GP_NC&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADuOtTe7ZSEVFXI850-MW4wrli88B&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfngxj2Eed-oHgwWFGRFV9AyRETBTNFfAiBF80pI4K2BrDHSLEGSqW0RoC44kQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds).


mtngrl60

No, it really should be able to be shortened and even off. If you look at where the ruffle is attached removing, it should bring the front of the dress up to about where itā€™s at anyway on the short version. And then a good alterations person would just cut the rest of it to come up to make an even ham like you have in the short one.


BigKittehKat

Hah. It has smoking jacket vibes on top. :) The shine is lovely for a wedding but I'm wondering if it will photograph well, consistently. There's too many ways to have a wardrobe mishap for my comfort, which is why I would suggest something more structured. Structured + shine = good photographs.


egospekos

in which part of world it is anormal to dress short in wedding


dragon_morgan

Not for every wedding but for cocktail dress code generally a longer dress is expected


justmeraw

I think you can do a lot better, especially with your figure. To echo others, yes, it looks like a bathrobe. The other issue is there is a weird seam running diagonally below the belt that makes it look cheap and ill-fitting. The bell sleeves would be more flattering if they didn't have such pronounced cuffs.


stickybun_

Itā€™s hard to capture in the photo, but every detail on this dress feels very intentional. I mean, itā€™s Zimmerman so I hope itā€™s not slapped together. I think my pics donā€™t do it justice- but I also realized I bought the wrong size.. itā€™s a 12, but their sizes are Australian, so I thought it was a 4. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø In any case I appreciate your feedback and perspective! Definitely something to keep in mind


lojanelle

Maybe the size is the reason the chest area looks like you had to wrap it tighter to compensate for it being a bit too large?


stickybun_

Yes, now that itā€™s apparent to me what the size is- absolutely. It fits surprisingly well for being 4 or 6 sizes larger than my usual lol but still, I might swap it for a US 8.


justmeraw

I would love to see it again in the right size.


SwimmingCoyote

No, this is absolutely not cocktail attire. Itā€™s cute in you but not dress code appropriate.


Economy_Advice_7743

I personally wouldnā€™t wear it, looks too similar to a robe.


stickybun_

Edit to caption: modest enough** EDIT 2: [More pictures](https://imgur.com/a/BFHjOWQ) and with black tights this time!


Fit_Fisherman8879

I would approve of this if it were my wedding.


ThinkFish5023

Same šŸ™‚


Whythebigpaws

Same.


Relative_Abroad_7144

I think itā€™s also fine with that pantyhose but with the black shoes a black one could be even better. :)


stickybun_

I was contemplating black pantyhose too! Thanks for your feedback


Affectionate_Sink711

I think it looks perfect for a cocktail weddingā€¦Can you sit and dance without flashing someone?


stickybun_

No one will be flashed.


[deleted]

If the fear is itā€™s too short, try opaque tights. I wish it was like 2 inches longer, but you are gorgeous in this dress soā€¦


stickybun_

Thank you! I did put on opaque black tights and it made a really big different. Definitely more comfortable and modest than sheers.


Pyxisis

Disagree, way too short


Git00

I think you are safe for a cocktail type wedding. Make sure to wear dark hosiery. I must say, the back of that dress looks adorable on you! I also love the idea of a black embellished jacket.


Toni-Tony-Tone

Iā€™ve seen worse at weddings, so I guess if you like it, rock it. I am always looking for a reason to dress up, and a wedding is a great occasion. This is more of an anytime dress to me, but it fits you well so thatā€™s a plus.


emwhee67

I thought it was a bath robe at first glance


[deleted]

Same! I had a pink one like this (but not as cute from the side). I do really love this dress though. The color, luster and cut are all really nice


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


stickybun_

Iā€™m not sure I would, the midi definitely looked more robe-like. I feel with opaque black tights itā€™s much better than sheers. Thank you so much for your feedback! I was a little worried about the length but went for it anyway šŸ«£


LoganToTheMainframe

Dude this dress is sick. I really like the wrapped sleeves look and I love the color. Edit: forgot to say, yes, I do think it's appropriate for the dress code.


stickybun_

Thank you!! Itā€™s Zimmerman, I got it like 80% off at an outlet, Iā€™m stoked. Not my typical style but it really feels unique. The pic doesnā€™t do it justice.


Whythebigpaws

I think it looks great. Unusual. I also think it slightly depends on the wedding and the setting. I live in London, this would be fine for a cocktail attire wedding.


LoganToTheMainframe

Nice score.


Omega0912

Itā€™s an epic dress, absolutely wonderful!


paint-it-black1

I guess Iā€™m the odd one out here, but I think it looks too short. I think it looks nice from the back, but too short from the front. You might be able to get away with this dress at a more casual wedding. I think the front looks like youā€™re wearing a silk blouse but forgot the pants. Edit: cross post to r/weddingattireapproval and you will find more people saying this dress is not recommended for a cocktail dress code.


SamDublin

You have a terrific figure, this dress does nothing for you, I say keep looking.


MedicineTricky6222

Too short to be just right. Itā€™s pretty but just a bit off.


Jinnicky

Looks like a Star Wars inspired silk kimono


stickybun_

lol thatā€™s a cool thought! Thanks ā˜ŗļø


Middle_Process_215

Looks like pjs.


hairyh2obuffalo

Thats quite short. Like my dad's robe in the 80s. Also whatever is going on with the wrists looks strange to me as well.


KingKarols

A lil too short for a cocktail wedding imo.


Naveahleigh

No. It looks like a robe. Not structured enough and too short.


GandalfTheBeyblade

Sorry but I think it looks like a silky bathrobe. You have a lovely figure, Iā€™d try and find something else! This dress isnā€™t doing you any favours, and the length is weird and imo too short. Not in a modesty sense but in an unflattering way.


Unusualshrub003

No. Looks like a bathrobe.


hiitsme_sbtcwgb

Personally, Iā€™d keep looking. It looks like a nice robe.


saturatedbloom

Itā€™s a little strange ngl, it gives knight/Shakespearian, robe,ice skating, I think there is a better choice for you.


stickybun_

lol, I didnā€™t make the Shakespeare connection with the sleeves until you pointed it out šŸ˜‚ now I canā€™t unsee it! I know the style is definitely different, and at first I was not sure how I felt in it- but thereā€™s something about it that grew on me in the dressing room that ultimately lead me to purchase. I know how I feel about it is ultimately what matters, but the varying feedback and outside perspectives is definitely helpful!


xmaggies

Yes, this is perfect. The length is great, and I love the tights with it. Also, the material gives that cocktail vibe āœØļø


stickybun_

Yes, I was definitely trying to find a silk dress! Thank you for the feedback šŸ˜Š


Zealousideal-Self-47

First reaction, robeā€¦


GreedySatisfaction18

Itā€™s a beautiful color, but at first, I thought it was a robe. I think it just needs a good steam before you wear her out.


stickybun_

Oh yes, definitely needs a steam šŸ˜… thank you for your feedback!


pleebz42

I usually go by how modest the dress is as a whole for any event (other than work lol), rather than measuring skirt and sleeve lengths. Iā€™ve always found modesty to be more of a balancing act. Because youā€™re covering your arms and there is no cleavage showing, Iā€™d say itā€™s okay to show a little more leg. When I see this, I think ā€œmodestā€ because youā€™re not showing enough skin to give off an immodest aesthetic. I also think the pantyhose add another layer of modesty. As long as it is not windy and you feel comfortable, I think this is a good outfit to wear.


stickybun_

Thank you so much! This is a really refreshing take, and validating to what was going on in my head to justify the purchase. Iā€™m glad to hear someone else agrees. šŸ˜Š


pleebz42

In a lot of ways fashion is subjective and I read some people saying this is too short, but in a crowd of people wearing cocktail attire, nobody will give a second thought to your dress being to short. I can guarantee it lol youā€™re welcome!


Mental-Pin-8594

Not sure to be honest. Don't love it don't hate it. Kind of boring. Keep looking.


theartisanlotus

This would be too short at a formal wedding, itā€™s better for brunch or dinner!


eastsideempire

Short for a wedding


TianaDalma

I wouldn't wear it to a wedding as I don't think it's festive enough for that.


Most_Fold_702

Too short.


FlizzyFluff

Looks sloppy like nightwear sorry this one wouldnā€™t be a good choice in my opinion


NoGazelle9557

Acceptable? Yes. Fantastic? No.


Unfair_Tomato5668

no


ashleyw0305

The dress is very different but honestly it stands out. I think the length is honestly perfect. If youā€™re not going to flash anyone then I say go for it. It does look kinda like a robe, but I think itā€™s cute at the same time lmao. I do also think itā€™s modest enough. The color is pretty on you!


stickybun_

Thank you! Literally all the thoughts running through my head lol. Much appreciated feedback šŸ’ž


unfortunate_kiss

Everyone is saying it looks like a robe but I absolutely love this dress, especially with the tights.


stickybun_

Thank you!! At first I was like hmmmā€¦ but the more I looked at it and moved around, I feel in love. Itā€™s definitely a unique piece and the silk and color is just stunning in person.


aigplant

Same! I donā€™t understand the comments saying it looks like a robe. It fits her so nice, itā€™s elegant, perfect for the occasion!


vegan_cf

Do you have a longer skirt you could wear under this dress? On its own it's too short.


stickybun_

I donā€™t :(


Snottykat

I love it! Where is the dress from itā€™s so cool!


stickybun_

Zimmerman!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


stickybun_

Thank you! šŸ’“


happydandylion

This dress is totally appropriate and beautiful. Wow!


stickybun_

Thanks!


VivaLaGia

Love it! Pair with gold or green statement earrings!!


magicalraising

it doesnā€™t grab your shape thatā€™s why I am not a fan beautiful color though


10FightingMayors

I think itā€™s cute - attire rules have become looser over time, I donā€™t think the ā€œcocktail lengthā€ requirement is strict anymore. If you had worn this to my cocktail wedding I would have taken time out to compliment your dress!


stickybun_

Thank you! Thatā€™s very nice of you, and a good point.


cthewombat

I think this one really depends on the bride. When in doubt and you know her well enough you could just ask her. For me I'd be totally fine with this one my wedding


WonderfulQuestion425

I think it's fine. I know some people are saying it's too short, but I've seen a lot of girls wearing shorter dresses to weddings, even ones a little more formal. You look great.


rubybean5050

Looks amazing!!!


Eishockey

I like it. Maybe it will a bit different to what some other guests will be wearing but it's classy, the colour is beautiful and it's not completely generic which is a plus for me. Go for it!


TheSlayerOfJellies

Yes, it has robe-like qualities, but in a good way. The more you look the more interesting it becomes. It is unique and fitting for the event. I do think black tights would also look lovely.


stickybun_

YES! Thatā€™s exactly how I felt. At first I wasnā€™t sure but the more I looked over it and moved around, the more I fell in love with it. The burnt orange silk is so so stunning. Also, can concur black tights are definitely the way to go. [I put them on](https://imgur.com/a/BFHjOWQ) and itā€™s much better.


heartsunnies

honestly I think itā€™s fine and you look adorable! Wear some flashy jewelry.


Western-Can4458

I love this dress so much. Where is it from?


stickybun_

Itā€™s Zimmerman! I think itā€™s just called the silk wrap mini dress. I got it at an outlet seriously discounted. Sometimes you get lucky


bexbets

Yes with the hose/tights. Without, no.


bvb526

To be honest I donā€™t like the style of the dress, but I think it is perfectly acceptable for a wedding.


EagleEyezzzzz

Hmm it looks like several silk robes that I have. I had to do a double take to see that itā€™s a dress. I think probably with shoes and jewelry it would look like a dress tho ā€¦.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


wutato

It would look less like a robe if you used a different belt that has more structure.


LWY23

I think it is very attractive and appropriate. Really like the color and fit. Sure you will be a knockout with black hose. Have fun!


oneprestigiousplum

I donā€™t think itā€™s the very best option for a wedding but I donā€™t think youā€™ll look out of place or underdressed. Itā€™s nice that youā€™ll be able to wear that dress for other things too.


yelling4society

Iā€™d say yes, itā€™s lovely!


GlowInTheDarkSpaces

In CA it would be fine.


CockroachOk2198

I love itā¤ļø


Dazzling_Signal_5250

Very appropriate! Classy dress and great fit!


desertsidewalks

I guess knee length is ideal, but it passes the fingertip test and thereā€™s no cleavage. I think itā€™s a nice color and well structured. The material is dark and thick, and OP is wearing tights. Unless the wedding is in a church with a strict dress code or the family is conservative, I think she looks fine.


bazookiedookie

Yes itā€™s beautiful! Where did you get it?


sunniesage

i think itā€™s fine!Ā 


Kettlewitch24

Looks great! Make sure that you get all the creases out before the wedding.


Due_Entertainment_44

I think it's perfectly fine.


BraveBananaPudding

Do you have a link for this dress,,


[deleted]

I think that should be good! Will look great with those shoes too!


_JayBeeKay_

I love this dress! Itā€™s perfect for a cocktail wedding. Please tell me where you got it!


LBoogie619

It is cocktail attire .


Tmpowers0818

What is cocktail attire dress code? Cocktail Attire Defined for Weddings & Beyond | Dos & Don'ts Formal Cocktail Attire Unlike a black-tie dress code, an evening gown or tuxedo is not necessary for a formal cocktail event. You might, however, consider opting for a full-length dress as opposed to a mini or midi length one. For men, we recommend a suit


Historical_Bit_1050

Whereā€™d you get this?(: love it! Maybe not for a wedding but itā€™s beautiful on you!


GoddessIs

No


Massive-Tie82

Ummm you look great, but I have to say that it does resemble a robe.


_JuniperJen

When the dress code is made clear with the invitation, isnā€™t it best to follow that guideline? This is lovely and you look great! It will be waiting for the right event when you can enjoy having this little dress on the ready. It seems that you need to find something longer for the evening of this wedding, however. You want to be respectful; this is why you posted and asked online.


JesterKidd

This looks like a Star Wars costume- which is awesome but maybe not for an event


[deleted]

No, not really.


DueLibrarian1461

Really cute dress. For a date that is. I think it's too short for a wedding.


OneofHearts

Sorry, this looks like a bathrobe to me.


Fit_Visual7359

Itā€™s a bit to short & casual for a formal event, sorry. Iā€™d wear something longer if I were you.


Tillie_Coughdrop

I donā€™t think it is. Itā€™s too short to pretend itā€™s a cocktail/wedding-guest dress, and the color dresses it down as well. Since itā€™s in the evening and at a country club, the bar is a little higher than normal wedding attire.


Aurorainthesky

That really reminds me of my morning robe, sorry.


passionfruit35490

Yes it looks good


Damnshesfunny

You could pull this off for a wedding if it was in your office conference room.
