Can I wear this to a wedding?

[Pedalpushers]

Just that really. Going to a wedding in 2 weeks and need a new dress.

I seem to be drawn to floral on white and am wondering if I can get away with it or if it's still a faux pas?

Sure, why not? People wore those sorts of colours to my wedding.

It looks very low cut? I wouldn't show too much cleavage or wear a dress with a white background but it also friends in the bride and you know them best.

I love it and I have nothing against showing cleavage, but it is almost cut to the waist. If I had small perky boobs I would wear it, but my breasts are much too large and boisterous for such a dress.

OP I think the colour is fine but, unless you are a peripheral guest, it is too casual.

For goodness sake not this again! I'm not getting at you OP, but those who say "oh you can't possibly wear that to a wedding, it's too white, not formal enough etc."

It's a lovely dress, and perfect for a summer wedding. I can't believe how hide bound some people are on MN. If you love the dress and feel happy in it then wear it - don't worry about what others think.

OP: guys, what do you think of this dress?

Guys: give honest opinion as requested

@Mandalay246 : strops

Legs OR boobs, not both

Actually the rare good point.

Fine

Totally fine for a wedding and would never in a month of Sundays be mistaken for a wedding a dress. The people saying it's white would have been aghast at a pictures I saw on FB of a wedding. Qstvone showed a woman in a long lacyvwhits dress with a older looking man. A few pictures in I realised she was the brides mother and not the bride and1st picture she was with her DH she was further away in the 1st picture but on seeing herxwith the bride I could see she as older That looked weird and I thought was the bride really happy that her mother wore what essentially looked like a wedding dress

Absolutely, it's beautiful. No bride wears a floral dress. Nothing to worry about at alll

Nothing wrong with colours, BUT it looks incredibly low cut, and therefore attention grabbing. I couldn't wear it for that reason. I can't believe people are hung up on the colour and not that it's virtually frontless. Lots of tit tape required there. You would defo get talked about for all the wrong reasons. I'm not religious, but if it is a church wedding, it's even more unsuitable.

Aside from an interview, a wedding is one of the few events where it really does matter what someone else thinks!
It’s the bride and grooms day and whatever you wear or do to that event will be seen in that context.
If the bride and groom don’t care what you wear it’ll say on the invite. Mine said wear “something casual, no ties.”

I think it’s fine and very nice.

It's a beautiful dress but not for a wedding.

Why not???

@knittingaddict

I am genuinely perplexed by some of the responses on here.

It is perfectly suited to a wedding. If you can't wear that, what can you wear? MN is so odd sometimes.

By MNs standards you can't wear an inch of white. I think it is perfectly fine

It's totally fine to wear to a wedding. I have never, ever seen a bride wear a dress like that.

Lovely summer dress for a wedding. Plain white dress a hard no but this is absolutely fine.

Definitely. It's hardly a white dress.

Unless my eyes need testing this is not even remotely white. It's patterned. Are the wedding police now saying a white background is also unacceptable?

Personally I don't like it. It's too plunging and very unflattering unless you have the perfect figure.

If it was my wedding I would be irritated by you wearing that, because I wouldn’t want someone else’s breasts to be the main focal point of every photo. I’m mid 20s but wouldn’t consider that formal enough for a garden party or nice dinner place, it looks more like clubbing or a bar of young people only. The style is just not suitable for a formal family party environment. Too tight, too low cut, too short, and the fabric is constructed to be a super bodycon clubbing effect.

Look for something a bit more flowy or structured, think “could I wear this to a posh afternoon tea it to a church,” not if you would wear it out on a cocktail bar date.

Normally I click on these threads getting ready to type 'no' but that is very like a wedding guest outfit

Its so floral. Unless the pattern is much much fainter in rl

The shops are full to the brim of dresses at the moment, so there’s lots of choice in different colours. So no I wouldn’t wear a dress that was predominantly white.

It is very low cut. I'd pin it or wear a coral cami vest top underneath.
You'll be hanging out of it.

It's nice for another event, where is it from?

I like a bit more coverage for a wedding personally
