Wibu to wear a white dress to a hen do?

[SharkiraSharkira]

Just as the title says really!

A friend's hen do is coming up and it is 'themed' so everyone will be in fancy dress. I'm quite short on money at the moment so I can't afford to buy a whole new costume that I will only wear once so I'm 'making' an appropriate costume for the theme out of something I already own.

Said dress for the costume is white and lacy (short dress). I know obviously wearing this to the actual wedding would be a complete no no but is wearing it to a hen do ok? Especially if I have silly accessories so it's obvious I'm in fancy dress? Or will I get mistaken for the bride to be and be an embarrassment? Wibu to wear it?

Hens generally wear white to the hen do - but not many have fancy dress theme

But also, utter bollocks. That's not a thing

It's not complete bollocks because it's a thing here.

I'm in Scotland, maybe we're just weird?

I think you are going to have to spill about the theme OP as it isn't making much sense.................

A lot of hen dos do have the brode in white.
Depends what the character is reallt

*really

Are you Wilma Flinstone?

Put a toilet roll horn on your head and bingo you're a unicorn.

I missed the memo... I wore a black dress on my hen I think!

Rhubarb, do you live in a town beginning with P? Just wondering if it's another local tradition along with big hats and big prams?!

the bride has always worn a white dress on a hen do

huh? I am trying to remember but I can't think of any friend who did wear white. We are mostly based in London if that helps

Last hen do I went to was vintage clothes, everybody looked amazing but nope, nothing white in there at all.

OP you can always run your outfit pas the bride-to-be, but it does sound perfectly ok.

(on another note, Papafran might not care, but white/cream/ ivory are strictly reserved for the bride at her wedding. It is a thing. Not the hen do though)

Rhubard, sorry.
OP, I'd wear the white dress. Have fun!

Check with the bride. Every hen do I've been to the bride has worn white but if she isn't anyway I don't see what the issue would be. If you're worried though just mention it to the bride.

It's fancy dress and the bride is NOT wearing white.

I didn't want to risk upsetting anyone so I did check with the bride and she is fine with it, phew!
