to wear a white dress to a wedding?

[bedraggledmumoftwo]

Sorry, another dilemma pre wedding this weekend. Just discovered mildew in my cupboard(100 year old house) and a couple of my dresses are wrecked. Also 7months post baby and not quite down to size. The only dresses that fit and look any good are a white/cream calvin Klein one, with black large diamond at waist, which is a shift dress of the smart office variety, or a cream floaty number. Neither look anything like a wedding dress, but wibu to wear white to a wedding?

I think that sounds nice and would say is OK to wear.

I wore a white linen dress to a wedding once, but it had colourful flowers all over the front so didn't look remotely wedding-y in the end.

No, I think you shouldn't wear white.

it depends do you know what the bride is wearing?
if she is having a full on fairy princess wedding you will be fine, if she is just wearing something she got from the highstreet which looks really nice, then not so sure.

I wouldn't.

As long as it doesn't have a veil/lace train, I'm sure you will be fine

I really wouldn't. It's just not done.

Don't do it.

There's loads of sales on at the moment, or borrow something, but no no no white/cream.

I wouldn't, rubbish about the mildew

I wouldn't, it just isn't right. Besides you don't want to go there and everyone look at you like how dare she.

Black and white should be ok - heavily accessorised with black. Cream and floaty no no no.

Social suicide. Sorry.

Nope, appalling etiquette.

No, I wouldn't do it.

Don't even think about it! No it's just not done

I wouldn't. If you really can't get anything else tho- wear the office-y one.

The lacy one sounds far too bridal. People will talk.

Nope. Dont do it, not good

wear the one with the diamond with black accessories.

If you know what bride is wearing and it's a full-length/sparkly/white cream, then the white with black diamond with black accessories is just fine.

If you don't know, and there's a chance they could be wearing a shorter white/cream dress- no, just get something else.

Bad luck about the mildew, but I definitely wouldn't wear white if I could possibly avoid it. Anything within your budget in the sales?

How well do you know the bride? Could you ask her how she would feel about a female guest wearing white? If she's ok with it, I'd maybe wear the shift dress if I had to (with a lot of black accessories), but definitely not the floaty one.

I wouldn't wear either. I would pick up something that won't break the bank in the sales.

Ooof.
I wouldn't.
Buy something else

Don't do it. Seriously it's really poor form. It will noticed and remembered

Don't do it.

I wouldn't - even if you knew the bride would be ok if with it, there's always going to be someone (mother of the bride, grandmother, interfering aunt) who thinks it's appalling and will keep shooting you dirty looks ALL day.

Do you know anyone you could borrow off?

I wouldn't dream of doing this.

Even if I hated the bride.

It's just not on, is it?
