MOG dress

Can't see any problem at all. Nothing wrong with a back split. It's a wedding. You've chosen a nice outfit. Wear it and enjoy yourself.

Best wishes to all.

Wear the outfit with confidence and a smile and you will look terrific - it sounds perfect. I wore a back split to my son's wedding and it fitted in perfectly.

What a lovely occasion. Enjoy the day and best wishes to the happy couple.

Thanks ladies
Its how I feel I think being my first child getting married and my age of 63. I am not a fuddy duddy person and only short so these type of dresses suit me better. Just dont want to show too much thigh when I walk lol

I think its called a scuba dress

Don’t worry, you won’t be able to see it! Hope you all have a great day.

It sounds perfect. Have a lovely day.

Thats what hubby says but when I,put my hand into the gap I feel,my thigh. Just feeeling aware of it I think. I am not going to,walk about much anyway lol

You could wear a lacy slip underneath if you really felt uncomfortable.

Not sure if that would draw more attention to it

Wear the dress back to front. That'll give onlookers an eyeful. ???

Wear thick tights? Are the backs of your knees and thighs attractive? Have you checked? I don't like seeing exposed veins!

Experiment with putting in a discreet pin or even stitch to make slit shorter?

Sounds like a very appropriate outfit!

I hope you have a great time

I'm feeling a bit "gran mode" tonight and just been reading "Mog" stories to DGS couldn't think why you would be dessing as a cat!!! Sorry Lilylavender. Sure your outfiit is great and you will be fine. 63 is no age. Wait till you see some of the skirts younger women are wearing!

What’s a MOG sounds really painful

I remember my mum saying that one of the most unattractive parts of the body is the back of the knees . So unless you have very slim legs and thighs I would say dont expose them

Mother of the Groom BlueBelle another abbreviation for us to get to know.

Gosh, some of these comments are shocking

How have we still not learned how rude it is to comment on others bodies.

dont show knees!
dont have veins!

The horror

If asked for an opinion, what do you suggest then summerlove ?

The original question asked about the outfit.

Not body parts.

I’d keep it about the outfit.

I wouldn’t shame other women’s bodies.

I must admit to not knowing what MOG was! until explained a bit up thread.

I thought of this one too Auntieflo.

I wouldn’t shame other women’s bodies

Oh puh-leaze!

Where does the “other women” come in?
People in general, if you want my honest opinion.
There are other body parts which are not necessarily a thing of beauty (both genders!) but how vanilla to say one is not allowed to say so. .

But, summerlove, in the OP's concern about the outfit the state of her legs was highly relevant. Why would she ask for responses on GN otherwise?

What we wear to special occasions is always about the body inside the outfit as well as the outfit. A little gentle advice about discretion is not about shaming but about enhancing the whole image, how the outfit sits on/exposes/enhances the body included. Details matter which is why, I suspect, the OP asked.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, Lilyl. Might we see a photo or two of you in your outfit afterwards, perhaps?
