She wrote: “Am I crazy?

“Winter wedding in a castle in California on New Year’s Day. Indoor/outdoor.”

The dress fell to the floor, had sleeves that reached the shoulders and a satin band below the waist.

The wedding guest confirmed that the dress code recommended “formal or cocktail” attire.

Although the dress was stylish, many people thought it was a poor choice for a wedding.

One of them said: “Sorry, it’s not formal enough and the fabric looks cheap. Look at the model’s stomach, you can even see the belly button.

“And she has no bumps, but you can see everything.”

A second added: “A pleated jersey would make this too casual for me, it’s basically a sweater dress.”

Meanwhile, a third said: “If you’re a knitter, leave this one alone. It’ll slowly slide off your body.”

Some people, however, were more diplomatic.

Someone commented: “If you have the body to rock that dress, then for me it’s a big yes.

“That beautiful dress is unforgivable and probably not great to dance in, but for a “stander” it is wonderful.”

And someone shared: “This is 100% fine for a California cocktail.”

What should you wear as a dress code for a cocktail?

Dress shop Adrianna Papell said: “Cocktail attire for a wedding is a mix of formal and casual attire.

“Unlike a formal wedding, you don’t have to wear a long dress, but can instead opt for a midi or tea dress.

“The most important thing is that your dress offers the right balance between elegance and comfort.”
