This dress is fine for a wedding...

[TheWhiteOfIt]

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?

It's great. Don't let her anywhere near chocolate ice cream though!

I agree with @SoupDragon I have boys and wouldn't dress them in a full suit. I'd go smart shirt/pants. If I had a daughter I'd choose a dress she could re-use to birthday parties etc

The other dress very clearly screams wedding/bridesmaid.

It's beautiful but I would check with the bride and groom as it could look like a stealth flower girl.

I also think if she needs to sit in a high chair to ear at the reception it may be uncomfortable and her a bit hot. Lovely dress though.

Beautiful dress. I wouldn't have thought it would be an issue, but might be worth running it by the bride and groom to be safe...

Yip defo looks like a flower girl dress.
Reminds me of my wedding ehen my husbands asked my.colours then sent her daughters in almost carbon copies of my bridesmaids dresses 🙄

@Yeahnah2020 it'd look weird as shit on a 20 year old

I think it looks like a bridesmaid dress. May be a bit of an issue if your daughter is dressed like a bridesmaid but their own daughter is not.

My daughter wore that exact same dress for my friend’s wedding, she was the flower girl. Everything about it screams flower girl, the chiffon, lace, ribbon etc. She’s never worn it again since as it’s too much over the top for just a normal party.

Stealth flower girl

It’s OTT. She doesn’t need to be the star of this show. Just buy a nice party dress from JoJo Maman and be done with it.

Also, unless this wedding is in a hot country, she also doesn’t need it to be sleeveless. It’s too grown up for a toddler.

Just browsed the offerings on 'Seed Heritage' and its ultimate tack at outrageous prices OP I'm sure she'd look better in a unicorn applique ensemble or rainbow sequins..

Might see if their daughter wants to co-ordinate with mine

Did you mean this as a joke? If not, then I now think you DEFINITELY wanted her to be a bridesmaid!!! (But maybe you were joking)

Of course it is OK. She's a toddler who is dressing up for a wedding, she's not going to upstage the bride! I don't get this obsession with guests not being allowed to have any while in their dresses.

I would put my 2 year old DD in it due to the fact that the white top would get filthy!!! Did your DH mean that when he said it was too white?

*wouldnt

I can imagine there will be quite a lot of girls that will be wearing outfits considered to look like flower-girl dresses - it’s a wedding and she’s only two! I would never of thought that the no-white rule would apply to a two year old.

it looks nice but I would have never put my toddler into such a garment just for the sake of looking cute. The fabric is usually anything but nice/soft/comfy to wear.

I must admit that I love seeing children at a wedding in lovely outfits and really enjoying being dressed up.

It's a flower girl dress. Not for a guest. Even if she is 2!

Beautiful dress for a wedding. A bit about your husbands comment regarding too much white. Hardly think anyone is going to mistake her for the bride or think she is upstaging the bride.
Regards looking like a flowergirl any I have seen at weddings have been dressed totally in white with maybe a coloured sash. If I saw this dress in a shop I would think what a lovely for a wee girl to wear to a wedding. Go for it it is really lovely.

It looks very similar to my flower girl dresses, but I don’t get the whole too white concern? That applies to adult women being mistaken for/upstaging the bride. I don’t think the guests will think your 2 year old is the bride!

My flower girls actually went to a wedding wearing the bridesmaid dresses I bought them (after my wedding) I initially thought OMG the cheek of the bride using the dresses I paid for as her bridesmaids. I later found out they weren’t bridesmaids at all and it was their grandma’s, neighbour’s, granddaughter's wedding, they had just rocked up in dresses that perfectly matched the colour scheme, 100% not in the wedding though. I don’t think I’d have been too fussed as the bride it’s just two little guests who looked lovely, but I know a lot of brides would have gone mad.

I’d say ask the bride but it does sound ridiculous running a 2 year olds outfit by her, as a guest I always find out the colour scheme and wear a different colour to the bridesmaids, but that’s me not a child.

To be honest, I think the dress is a bit too flower-girl like and looks a bit too grown-up for a two year old

This is what I bought my niece last year: dress She went to four weddings last year, two where she was flower girl and two where she wasn't, in addition she wore it to a few birthday parties (including her own). As it still fits her, she'll wear it to at least one more wedding this year.

OMG the responses on here about being offended about her looking like a flower girl or bridesmaid. She is TWO. Why would it matter? Actually it kind of happened to me because my cousin was 5 and she wore a dress that made her look like a flower girl. So at the last minute I found her a job to do.

Weddings are family occasions. "not fitting in with the colour scheme". Words fail me, other than to say my gaster is well and truly flabbered.

It's beautiful, I'd let her wear it, she'll look adorable.
I have no idea why people think it's bridesmaidy, but if you're worried add a cardigan.

Slight derail, but where is it from? Because it's SO gorgeous I want to buy one for my future granddaughter (my DC are 10 & 14, I'm being very organised here)

Agree that it is a bit flowergirl/bridesmaidy though - and at 2yo, I doubt it will last much more than half an hour before half the butterflies are torn off, chocolate is melted onto it, etc.

Why not just ask your brother or
His fiancée? Much easier no?
