And decided to wear an ARRANGE , from , which comes in at a whopping £250.
In the colour ‘buttermilk’, it features large sequin discs, with a sheer piece of fabric over the top half.
But her choice of outfit sparked outrage from trolls, who accused her of deliberately opting for an ensemble to draw attention away from the bride.
“Such a beautiful dress, I’d be raging as the bride,” one wrote in the comments section of Jane’s TikTok video.
“I hope you mean YOUR wedding girl???” another sighed.
“Look at me look at me look at me, ignore the bride,” a third added.
“Over the top for a wedding,” someone else said.
“Oh my God, that is insane!” another wrote.
“If you wore this to my wedding I would literally cry from jealousy,” someone else commented.
As another said: “It is the kind of outfit a bride might wear for the evening of a wedding since it’s off white… so I wouldn’t personally wear it as a wedding guest myself.”
However, others defended Jane, insisting her look was entirely appropriate to wear as a wedding guest.
“I’m baffled why are people are saying they would be raging if someone wore this to their wedding,” one wrote.
“It couldn’t be any further from a wedding dress and it’s stunning – why are people so weird?”
“I’d be thrilled if someone wore this to my wedding,” another insisted.
“You look amazing!”
“Why are people saying the bride wouldn’t be happy?” a third commented.
Etiquette expert's advice for wedding guests - what not to do
ETIQUETTE expert Jo Hayes shares her ‘don’ts’ for wedding guests:
1. Don’t request a plus one
A wedding is a time of celebration with close friends and family, with a guest list carefully curated by the bride and groom.
For many couples, this task can often take a long time to perfect, picking and choosing important people that they want to share their special day with.
So it’s only courteous to respect this decision, and don’t pressure them to allow you to bring a plus one if they haven’t been invited, or if they’ve already said no.
2. Don’t steal the spotlight or make the day about yourself in any way
This means no wedding proposals, baby news announcements, don’t make speeches unless you’ve been asked to, don’t start discussing family dramas, and don’t turn up in an outfit fit for the club.
While there may be some couples who don’t mind this, it’s still important to be respectful about what big news to share at someone else’s big celebration.
3. Do not arrive at the ceremony or reception drunk
Jo says, “I remember one wedding I attended where half the guests (not including myself) got wasted and the bride and groom, too.
The end of the ceremony descended into a messy, loud, and unpleasant experience.”
Keeping away from consuming too much alcohol will help avoid a plethora of other unpleasant things, and keep the wedding the light and joy-filled celebration that it’s set out to be.
On top of that, don’t start an argument. No one wants their wedding day ruined by ‘Uncle Ed and Cousin Tom’ getting into a barney over politics.
4. Don’t pressure or criticise the couple over their decisions
Some bridal parties can decide against inviting children to their wedding, to serve a buffet meal that may not be to everyone’s taste, or to have the DJ not accept music suggestions.
It’s important to remember that the day is about the soon-to-be-weds, rather than the guests attending the wedding.
The couple will have made choices based on what they want on their special day, so it’s good to respect their decisions.

“It’s green/silver and is unreal. I’d be asking where she got it from if she was my wedding guest.”
“Leave her alone she looks amazing,” someone else sighed.
“Don’t understand how anyone just can’t keep their opinions to themselves. Get a grip!”
“This is exquisite. You look incredible,” another agreed.
“Genuinely if you wore that to my wedding I’d just be telling you how wonderful you look not sulking because it’s ‘too much for a wedding’.”
