My daughter will be 2, just.
It's my brother that's getting married.
I think this dress is absolutely gorgeous for my little girl to wear but DH thinks it's got too much white in it...
aibu?

Maybe I should add that they're not having bridesmaids.
(They have an older daughter too)

WTH?
Your dh surely doesn't think a 2 yo will upstage the bride.

Beautiful.

Buy it Smile

leftovercoffeecake · 06/02/2020 07:16

That’s a great dress. I think the whole avoiding white thing is so you don’t look like the bride and upstage her, which I’m sure your two year old won’t Grin

Twooter · 06/02/2020 07:16

I think it’s a bit too bridesmaids personally.

BlueSuffragette · 06/02/2020 07:16

Beautiful dress for your 2 yr old to wear.
She will look lovely.

GetMeOffThisCycleOfMisery · 06/02/2020 07:16

I think it looks bridesmaid-y.

donkir · 06/02/2020 07:17

I think it's lovely but completely wasted on a just 2yr old. It doesn't look comfy and most 2yr olds I know would try and pull the butterflies off.

positivepixie · 06/02/2020 07:17

I would either choose something more pink/less white or if you can, perhaps WhatsApp your brother/SIL, send them the photo and ask their honest opinion? I think just turning up with her in that could be seen as a deliberate attempt to make her a bridesmaid by the back door....

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 06/02/2020 07:18

It looks very much like a young bridesmaid's dress and could look like a dig at the bride and groom for not having your DD as a bridesmaid.

Check with your brother and respect his decision.

MrsA2015 · 06/02/2020 07:19

FFs it’s a dress , she’s two.

Buy it

LagunaBubbles · 06/02/2020 07:20

Too much like a bridesmaids dress.

Noconceptofnormal · 06/02/2020 07:20

I don't think she will be mistaken for the bride...

It's lovely, the only time a dress like that will be worn is a wedding so it will be what the retailer had in mind.

But weird that your dh is so involved in a decision like this though...!

Butterbeeeen · 06/02/2020 07:21

It's a lovely dress but at 2 I'd go more simple. My Dd was a bridesmaid at 2 and had a flouncy dress and she completely destroyed it by the end of the day. Had ripped the whole front off dancing and rolling around.

TheTrollFairy · 06/02/2020 07:21

It’s a lovely dress which is fine for a 2 year old at a wedding. I would bring a change of clothes for when the photos are over!

If your DH is concerned then you could always see what B&G think

BrusselPout · 06/02/2020 07:21

Is she a flower girl? It looks like the kind of dress one would wear

yogo · 06/02/2020 07:23

It's really pretty and everyone will just assume she wanted to be a bridesmaid, which is fine, she's 2! Enjoy the wedding.

Wish they did that in my size.

YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake · 06/02/2020 07:23

It's a beautiful dress. My sister put her 2 year old in a very similar dress for our brothers wedding and she looked beautiful

Stressedout10 · 06/02/2020 07:30

Sorry but that dress screams flower girl. I would be very pissed if someone brought a child dressed like this to my wedding

20viona · 06/02/2020 07:31

Too bridesmaidy for me too.

PooWillyBumBum · 06/02/2020 07:32

It kind of looks like you’ve just decided she’s a flower girl? It’s a nice dress but I’d probably buy another.

DoraleeRhodes · 06/02/2020 07:32

It’s a bridesmaid dress, perfectly fine for a 2 year old though, unless there’s been any bad feeling about her not being a bridesmaid/flower girl?

lastqueenofscotland · 06/02/2020 07:33

I do think it is a tiny bit too bridesmaid-y...

SW16 · 06/02/2020 07:33

Fine for a 3 year old.
But the white top will be grubby after the first drink or snack.

MollyButton · 06/02/2020 07:34

I think its fine.
But as people on here would be offended - I'd check with the bride what she thinks. If she thinks its fine (and gives you the odd, "why wouldn't it be" look) then its fine. If she makes negative comments then go with something else.

bringbackspanishflu · 06/02/2020 07:34

Too Flowergirl.
People will definitely think you are making a point about her not being on the wedding party
