Old lady dress ??

Okay so in one of the bridal groups I’m a part of on Facebook, a woman posted a very similar dress to mine (pictured above). More than a few people called it an old lady dress and now I’m having dress regret. Does anyone think this is too matronly ?

    Man, what kind of old ladies do they know? What do I need to do to pull this off when I'm an old lady?

    I would describe it as very metropolitan. It has a very chic, sleek look that reminds me of skyline architecture.

    The only thing I would imagine they could be referring to is that older women tend to wear less embellished gowns to things like second weddings and vow renewals (which they are more likely to be having than a first wedding with all the bells and whistles). So maybe they are more familiar with seeing this simplicity on older individuals.

    However, minimalism is always going to be en vogue. The tailoring and structure of this gown is what makes it special, not thousands of crystal beads or feet of lace. Sometimes, minimalism is a statement of its own.

    This dress looks amazing on you. Once you have your accessories hair done. They will be singing a different tone. They main thing is how you feel in the dress!

    The type of stretch crepe material is more common in clothing made for older women. And Tulle and chiffon are more commonly worn by children, or in costumes. But they are all also perfectly appropriate in a wedding dress that is not a highly formal ballgown, and this stretch crepe suits the body hugging style. 🤗 Are these gossips such fashion plates you would take them seriously?

    Absolutely not. The first thing I noticed about the dress was how gorgeous you looked in it. I love the dress.

    Definitely not an old lady dress. It looks great on you! I am 24 years old and I love dresses that have a halter top. I even wore a halter top dress for my prom. I would never in my mind even think that is an old lady dress if I just saw it randomly somewhere. It looks absolutely stunning on you and looks like it fits you so well!
