Would you wear white to a wedding as an evening guest? It is just a simple white bodycon dress, not in anyway wedding dress like? Opinions please..

No no noooooo. Absolutely not.

No way, not ever.

Of course not. Of all the dresses and all the colours, a white body con to a wedding is the worst idea.

Osquito · 18/04/2019 21:24

Noooooooo

A wedding guest wearing a white bodycon dress brings to mind the type of person who can't bear someone else being the centre of attention.

Thestral · 18/04/2019 21:26

If you have to ask, it's because deep down you know you shouldn't, and you're looking for someone to enable you anyway.

Don't do it! Plenty of other lovely dresses out there.

No.

Think Aunt Sarah in Derry Girls!

AintNobodyHereButUsReindeer · 18/04/2019 21:41

Why would you even consider it as an option?!

TapasForTwo · 18/04/2019 21:45

No

FiremanKing · 18/04/2019 21:45

I did go to a wedding once where the brides dress was red satin and the bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and the grooms mother all wore white. They all looked lovely.

But a white dress as a guest is not a good idea and a bodycon dress for a wedding guest smacks of being vulgar.

SilverySurfer · 18/04/2019 21:47

No idea what a bodycon dress but white - definitely not. But you know that already so not sure why you asked. Hmm

MiniMum97 · 18/04/2019 21:52

No. Completely off limits. There are plenty of other colours.

Sexnotgender · 18/04/2019 21:53

Definitely not because I’m not a dick.

HundredMilesAnHour · 18/04/2019 21:54

No no no to a white dress for anyone other than the bride.

And no to bodycon. Far too tacky for a wedding. Even if you're a supermodel and it's a Herve Leger, it's still tacky and attention seeking. Don't be that guest.

kmammamalto · 18/04/2019 21:55

No! And pattern or shade of exact white/cream doesn't matter! It really annoys me when people say it's okay as people won't mistake you for the bride! That's not the point, it's incredibly bad form and just why?! Chose any other colour!!

Reverse?

stayathomer · 18/04/2019 22:02

I didn't know it was a thing not to and then at my wedding my in laws told me they'd made comments in the loos in front of a girl wearing white to say it was terrible anyone would do that. I was so annoyed they did that (and she looked lovely!) but apparently it's a huge deal! I think little cabbage is right and this is a reverse!

NameChange92 · 18/04/2019 22:07

How can this be a reverse when the op hasn't said whether they're the guest or passing judgement on someone else?

Anyway, to answer op's question. No

Topseyt · 18/04/2019 22:08

I never have. Certainly not as the main or basic colour to my outfit.

I might wear a white blouse with a skirt and jacket of another colour. That is as far as I have gone.

PatchworkElmer · 18/04/2019 22:09

Mo

PatchworkElmer · 18/04/2019 22:10

Or no, even! 😂

dinkydolphin · 18/04/2019 22:13

Never. Ever. Ever.
