Can I get away with this as a wedding guest?

Can I wear this and not look underdressed?
Any ideas for fixing the keyhole back?
Something I could do to dress it up?

...or another idea? I didn't lose the baby weight which is why I'm looking at maternity.

Way too casual for a wedding. It looks like an everyday dress.

I feel like you could get a similar cut in a dressier pattern, if you like that shape of dress. The print doesn't feel dressy to me.

I think you could wear it, with an elegant, silky long cardi or shawl and a pretty, blingy necklace

I don't love it, or the print. But I need something at a similar price point that is nursing friendly and will fit!

Oh well, will keep looking.

I wouldn’t and I dress very casual and hate getting dressed up. This is just too too casual for a wedding though.

I'm going to disagree. Depends where the wedding is taking place. Lakewood, no. But Cleveland or Baltimore? I'd say yes.

It’s so pretty for every day. I vote buy it and enjoy it for weekday. Get something similar in solid for wedding.

It's not in any of those places, but I was suspecting it's too casual and it looks like most people agree.

I'm willing to wear something not my style, but it has to be tznius, nursing friendly, and be available in my size. It's a frustrating search.

For nursing friendly I'd probably just go with a top and bottom outfit.

I just looked at the closer up picture and now I see the flowers are pinkish, in the first picture they looked white. With pink I think it's definitely more acceptable but I'm still pretty sure you could do better.

solid black is better if it's not so dressy, like this https://www.seraphine.com/en-u.....ress/

Try Pink Blush Maternity, I just wore a great dress of theirs to a wedding in FL.

That won't be flattering if OP still has baby weight. I personally think the dress OP likes could be dressy with the right jewlery hair and shoes.

Well is it cottony when you see it in person? Then it might be week day or like a casual shabbos.

If it has a bit of a sheen to it, you could wear it with some dressy shoes and jewelry to a wedding even in Lakewood.

I think both dresses look maternity because they are maternity. don't see a difference in terms of flattering style here

Maybe I should just look for something plus sized.

I found this but don't love it.

I love this, but it probably won't fit me, even in size 14.

I also think that it could be dressed up with the right shoes. You don't need to use it the way the model uses it; that's just a suggestion.
