ASOS has left people stunned over its wedding guest outfit suggestions – as people slammed the styles as “inappropriate”.
Enlisting a fashion influencer to model three looks, ASOS promoted “revealing” outfits as “high glam wedding guest” inspiration on its Instagram page.
Critics were quick to slam the dresses and two pieces for “showing too much flesh”.
A long sleeve broderie top with lace inserts and ruffle detail with a matching skirt caused the biggest stir – both because the base colour looked white and the outfit was “revealing”.
“That would get you denied entry at the door at my wedding,” one critic said.
“Absolutely not.”
“Don’t know what’s worse: the inappropriate colour or the severe lack of clothing,” another penned.
“Show up to my wedding with your belly out and you’ll be in your ‘find out era’,” a third said.
Critics also felt that the colour scheme was “too white for a wedding” – even if it did have a pattern over it.
The dress that ruffled feathers the most was a satin corset detail plunge midi dress.
The £58 frock wouldn’t earn you favourable opinions at many weddings, the armchair fashion critics theorised.
“That corset one is just so not wedding appropriate,” one woman said.
“This lacks class,” another added. “Seriously, can’t we just be a bit more modest?”
ASOS also promoted a £65 ruched and busty shoulder “cut-out baby doll” maxi dress in light khaki.
This dress was deemed “the most appropriate of a bad bunch” but most of the critics still weren’t convinced it was suitable wedding attire.
However, some hopeful brides couldn’t understand the controversy shrouding the style suggestions.
“All the girls being so threatened by these dresses at a wedding,” one argued.
“I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid if someone rocked up at my wedding in these.”
“All the women saying ‘inappropriate for a wedding’ are the ones who feel threatened by a stunning girl,” another said.
