My friend thinks it's unfair on the bridesmaids/bride?

Look, almost any smart/formal/party-type dress for a little girl will be sold online with additonal 'bridesmaid' and 'flowergirl' keywords, simply to boost the rankings (and, of course, to help out those who are looking for such a thing.) Sellers often add 'princess' to the listing for the same reason, but it doesn't mean people will think a kid wearning such a dress is actually royal.
I can see that PP are sensitive to it because they have direct experience of pushy cunts doing this type of thing deliberately to upset or manipulate the bride, but that doesn't make the OP such a person. She just wants to keep her DDhappy nd get her money's worth out of the DD's party frock.

Pah! These stories are nothing.

I once wore a dress like that at a wedding when I was about 8 and was mistaken for the bride and was married by accident.

who CARES what a 4 year old wears to a wedding? Christ I couldn't believe there are unspoken rules of etiquette about the colour of a child's dress. These people are living on a different planet to me. Put her in what you damn well want. She's 4 FFS

was the talk of the day about how inappropriate it was

Do people really not have anything better to talk about than this? How pathetic.

Just ask the bride if she'd mind.

@Aridane "Lol at the first review of the dress!!"

ROFLOL. Well spotted.... I wonder what AmandaJS's MN handle is because she is definitely on this thread somewhere.... the date is a dead giveaway...... there's no way it's coincidental.
