Possibly OT but need your honest opinions.

Personally I wouldnt mind you wearing it to my wedding, It just means you get to wear it again and to be honest I dont think people will notice as you will be wearing it in a compleatly different way

I wouldn't personally mind either, if it just looks like a really nice corset top.

Now if it was the whole dress.....!! ?

Wts
i think it would look lovely. and i woundt mind you wearing it to mine either....

I think it would look really nice, I wouldn't mind at all if it was my wedding.

I wouldn't be offended in the slightest but it might look a bit odd. Is it very bridal? That sounds daft as it clearly is if it was part of your bridal gown.

I'm not sure jeans is the way to go for a wedding either really, but only you know how informal the do is.

Wear it! I wish I could wear (part of) my dress again ?

I was thinking Black jeans and my dress was more cinderella than bride! Difficult to explain really. Just trying to find a link

I think we need a pic! altho as someone said i am not sure if i'd wear jeans to a wedding but i dont know how formal this one will be?

Think we need a pic to be sure.

I THINK ITS A FAB IDEA. I HAVE RECENTLY CHOSE MY DRESS AND ITS A 2 PIECE ( I HAD SAID 2 MY SIS, WOULDNT IT BE GREAT TO TEAM IT WITH A NICE PAIR OF JEANS AFTER) GO 4 IT!!!!!!!!!

Wear it. I doubt they'll even notice. Apart from the bridal party i couldn't tell you what anyone else was wearing.

I personally wouldn't be wearing jeans to a wedding. Can't you wear trousers or a skirt instead?

Go for it. ❤️ jeans and corset combos. Jeans would be fine for an evening do worn in that way.

Still think we have to see pics though?

I don't think that i would be upset if someone wore jeans to the evening do, it would be nice to see them. Some jeans cost and look far nicer than a pair of trousers.

Agreed. I see nothing wrong with the corset top, smart trousers, a jacket or throw and some killer heels.

A picture of your dress may change my opinion, so I want to caveat my reply! But:
Looking at the other B2B responses - I am going against the trend here - I would not be happy if anyone turned up to my wedding in white/cream or anything remotly bridal! I've always thought that it wasnt the done thing.

Should the top part of your dress be an unusual colour (anything other than white/ivory/cream) it may be acceptable.

Also, your corset will clearly be 'different' to nornal guests attire and will become a conversation piece - again - not something I would want on my special day.

Sorry - but thats is my opinion.[:I]

You need to ask yourself: How would you have felt if someone had turned up at your wedding, in part of their dress?
Another thing - Jeans!?

And I'd be quite happy at any 'conversation piece' that got the guests talking. ?

I think its a good icebreaker myself, And corsets got me and my best friend talking years ago I was admiring hers and we have been mates ever since (OMG just realised its over 11 years ago now, ?)

Sorry Girls, Still think this is a bad idea.

I'm afraid I agree with Blondie 2009.

If you'd said that nobody at this wedding had seen your wedding dress and that the corset looked nothing at all like a wedding dress, then I'd say go for it. But given that other guests will recognise it as being from your wedding dress I wouldn't do it. It may be that the bride would be completely fine with it, but then again she may not. I remember a post from someone whose MIL (or mother?) wore part of her own wedding dress at their wedding (or wanted to?) and the bride was really upset. So it really is hit or miss whether or not the bride will be OK with or whether she will be really upset.

If you know the bride really really well and have the close kind of relationship where she could tell you it would upset her then ask her how she feels. But if you don't have that kind of relationship (and from the post it doesn't sound like you do) then I'd just wear something else. This is her big day that she's been waiting (and probably saving!) for and it isn't worth the risk of upsetting her however small that risk may be. I'm sure there are plenty of other occasions where you can wear it.

I'd also add that I'd check before I wore jeans. I know some people are very easy-going about what people wear to a wedding but some people are more traditional. I do also remember a post (a long time ago - I've been here a while?) from a bride who had been to a wedding reception and people were wearing jeans and she was upset by the idea that people might wear jeans to her wedding. Most of the people who replied felt the same.

I'm another one that doesnt think it is a good idea.

it almost seems like you want people to recognise that its a part of your wedding dress by wearing it when others have seen it as such.

Yes it would be great wearing it to a do such as new years or whatever but its a bit ott to wear it to a wedding.

have you checked the dress code regarding the jeans? I would be pissed off if people came to my evening do in denims.

I really think you need to reconsider this

Lets not knock the idea completely as we haven't seen any pictures yet.

?

Ni I wouldn't. Even wearing white/ivory to a wedding is a bit of a no-no in some books so wearing part of your bridal outfit would be odd - esp as it sounds like you know the groom better than the bride. Also def no jeans to any sort of wedding celebration, no matter what they're teamed with or how expense they were.
Sorry.

To me it desn't really matter what it looks like. If it looks immediately like the top of a wedding dress (ie if it's white/cream/ivory) then for me it's clearly out. But even if it looks nothing like a traditional wedding dress (if it's bright red for example) there are still going to be other guests there who will recognise what it is - more so with it being distinctive. And for that reason I think wearing it is inappropriate. Sorry.

I should add I know someone who when she got married after the first dance she took off her veil and the skirt of her wedding dress and left on the top half with her jeans.We had no idea that's what she was oing to do but she'd obviously been planning it for some time.

It would be very embarrassing (and probably upsetting for the bride) if the bride and this wedding had been planning to do the same

Can you imagine:

Guest 1 to guest 2: I've only met the groom. Which one is the bride?
Guest 2: She's the one in the wedding dress top and the jeans.
Guest 1: Oh yes I've spotted her. I'll go and introduce myself???

Sorry, but I can't see this happening. I really have NEVER heard of this before so would never imagine this happening at the wedding she is going to.

I honestly think that it would look fine with jeans & killer heels. Apart from the situation above, its not as if people are going to confuse her with the bride!

If the bride gets upset about it, she would really be looking at the small details - I think she'll have other things on her mind than the top that an evening guest is wearing!

Sorry, but that's my honest opinion!

personally, I wanted friends to come to my wedding to celebrate with us and enjoy themselves.
i think i would have been unhappy if someone had turned up in a wedding dress! Other than that,what they wear is up to them ,I would not presume to tell anyone how to dress .
I have to say honestly I didn't notice what any of my evening guests were wearing I was too busy enjoying myself with them .
I would wear the corset and your jeans,I bet nobody remembers it was your wedding dress anyway.

WSS - I doubt anyone would even notice it was part of a wedding dress even if they had seen it before. And besides I thought everyone looked at the BRIDE at a wedding? Dont think they pay much attention to what an evening guest is wearing!

I personally wouldn't be offended, I probably wouldn't even notice if I was the bride. I would just be happy that you were there!

Dont see why it's such a big deal TBH

I don't think I would be that bothered if a guest turned up in jeans. But I definitely wouldn't go to a wedding as a guest and wear jeans. No matter how dressy (or expensive) the jeans were, to me, they aren't suitable for weddings.

As for the corset, I know a couple people who have worn their corsets out, teamed with jeans/trousers etc and they look good. But they didn't look much like the top half of a traditional wedding dress (quite plain compared to some that you can buy in shops) and they had them dyed as well.

fark me ?

I agree with summers2b - who REALLY notices what evening guests wear? I'm pretty sure the Bride & Groom will be too busy enjoying themselves!

Personally, I don't have a problem with people wearing white to a wedding or jeans to an evening do, and I ❤️ wearing my corsets with skinny jeans and killer heels.

However, I do agree with everyone who's said we need to see a picture - but that's just coz I'm nosey! ?
