Is this too white for a wedding?

Additional info It's for a nine year old Dress code is smart casual and it's in Indonesia, if that makes a difference This is not the 'main' wedding, this is a western wedding and is seen as secondary to the bride who is Indonesian No bridesmaids or flower girls What do you think?

There is no way my 9 year old would wear that. It's like a large baby dress. No pretty at all. Sorry.

Well that's lucky, as nowhere has OP said that she wants your 9 year old to wear it - rather a pointless comment wasn't it.

I think it's lovely and totally fine

It looks great on her but like she's trying to be a flower girl / bridesmaid

It looks awful on the hanger but really lovely on her.

OP if you’re anticipating being sweaty, did you know you can get face anti perspirant? I can’t remember what it’s called, but I think it works.

Face, boobs, belly 😂

I'd team it with some coloured shoes or any other accessories so it looks less bridesmaid-like (not that there are any!). Maybe a colourful handbag, too?

That first pic makes the dress look bad, but looks great on 😆

No bridesmaids and I'm defo not miffed. Perhaps just a nice summer dress she can wear again then.

Show quote history

It is a nice dress. You could always take it, and if you find anything else in the meantime, take that as well and she can choose on the day.

I swear some people utterly lack reading comprehension.

She looks lovely in it and no, it is not too white. Enjoy your trip!

Sorry - just seen your second picture. The first one didn't do the dress any favours. Your DD looks lovely in it.

ScarletWitchM · 15/01/2024 19:40

not too white and personally I don’t think small children in white is an issue as it won’t upstage or mistake the bride

Dita73 · 15/01/2024 19:31

No it’s grim

Shodan · 15/01/2024 19:30

I think it looks lovely on your DD, and given that half of it is gold, definitely not too white.

And as a PP noted- a lovely swishy skirt. Fabulous.

Spomsored · 15/01/2024 19:17

I commend the OP too on her charity shop purchase

DappledThings · 15/01/2024 19:16

It's absolutely fine

She looks lovely in it! It sounds like this part of the proceedings is fairly informal so perhaps you can get away with asking the bride or someone very close to her (if there is someone closer than you!) what they think.

Only the groom! I don't know the bride, not met her yet.

I think all the bride and groom will care about is that children sit quietly and don't interrupt the ceremony. Maybe pose nicely for photos and don't spill red wine/coca cola on anyone.

ithinkthatmaybeimdreaming · 15/01/2024 19:12

Oh. I've just seen your updates OP. Your DD looks lovely in the dress.

ithinkthatmaybeimdreaming · 15/01/2024 19:09

Honestly, some of you must have boring lives if making vile comments to a poster about a dress she obviously likes is how you get your kicks. OP asked if it was too white - how does that call for opinions on any other aspect of the dress?

It's fine OP - and ignore the idiots on this thread. Beats me why they think their opinions are so sought after really, I can only think they have some sort of superiority complex, or else they are just downright nasty (which I suspect is the real reason).

First pic did not make it look good at all but it looks lovely on your DD. I'm glad she likes it as a lot of kids her age are trying to grow up too fast and want more grown up looking clothes so I absolutly love seeing kids in more age appropriate dresses especially for special occasions. And it's not too white.

I was surprised - she's usually in uggs, leggings and gilet so this was a nice change. Totally agree they dress too old a lot of the time.

She is pushing for stick on nails - definitely not!

It looks like a flower girl dress. My brightness isn’t turned all the way up on my phone but it gold detailed?

I get some shimmery tights in a gold (next do a nice pale gold in the girls section) just to lean into that colour a bit more. A gold headband too?

The top is gold the skirt is white

I think it is originally a flower girl / young bridesmaid dress

This is why I'm unsure

DD just fell in love with it

I don't like it. It looks very short for a 9 year old and looks like they might be competing with the flower girl or young bridesmaids.

OP didn't ask who liked it.

OP stated there are no bridesmaids or flower girls.

OP posted a picture of her 9yr old daughter wearing the dress, it covers her knees.
