Op here,
Yeah, I usually wouldn’t. I did buy that dress to wear to a funeral actually! I lost a lot of weight during covid and bought it and then because we had a lot of death in the family I ended up wearing it a few times this year. Thought I might as well wear it again to the wedding (instead of getting another new dress) but that was a mistake in more ways than one!

She asked you to wear a red or black dress and you wore a black dress. A fairly casual one at that (for a wedding). Good on you.
Consider this a wedding gift for YOU: this woman is letting you know loud and clear that she is a drama queen. This is no big deal, but enter kids and complicated family situations and emotions and her drama could be very very problematic. Steer clear!!!!!

I think the dress is cute (49 yr old) here but if her colors were red and black, I would have avoided a black dress. I would have gone navy or purple instead (if I was looking for a darker dress.)

Is this real, though? The bride called her cousin from her actual honeymoon to say the wife upstaged her slutty wedding outfit? And the wife was wearing a plain black dress? The more I think about it the less real it seems.

There's nothing special about your dress that screams "upstaging"
She's obviously insecure and might have regrets about her bodycon dress.
Ignore and don't feel bad.

Oh for God’s sake, OP means the dress is circa 1960.

if she said it to your husband and not to you, then take it with a grain of salt. It's third hand information and you don't know the tone with which it was said. It might have been in a very complimentary way that indicated she liked your dress. Men tend to be very clueless and inept at deciphering tone and intent. If she had meant it in a rude or snarky way then your husband is an idiot for telling you.

I’m 26 but I have the soul of a 60 year old. It’s just my style.
The bride wore a mid thigh reddish body con dress. It’s her style, her wedding and her dress was nothing like the one I wore. Their colors were red and black. The wedding was at an upscale restaurant and I checked with her before to make sure her dress wasn’t black because she had mentioned liking black wedding dresses.
So I was surprised when she called my husband (her cousin) from her honeymoon to say that she felt upstaged by my outfit. I feel like a terrible person. Would you feel offended by this dress??
Hahaha.
No you don't.
I cannot imagine a 60-y-o wearing this.

No. Not at all.
TBH it looks like something you'd wear to a funeral, but it's not offensive in the least.

No, it's fine and seems appropriate -- I would just ignore.

Its kinda boring and ugly but go for it. A 60 year old isn't wearing that. A 4 year old would.

No, your dress was fine. I’m pretty confused about the thigh-length red body con as the wedding dress, though.
