For this to be worn to a wedding

[whoopeo]

Please tell me if you would be annoyed if someone wore this to your wedding. It was worn with a plain white dress blazer and white shoes for context.

Weddings are the epitome of stupid rules: bride being walked up the aisle to meet her groom as though she didn't roll her eyes when he farted in their bed the precious week. Bride in a white (to signiff virginity) poofy dress that she would never choose to wear to dance in at a party with all her friends. Everyone wearing special outfits. Reciting vows about til death do us part even though nearly half of marriages end in divorce.

If it was my wedding I wouldn't care unless it was the MIL!

Why would you wear this at all? It looks like a nightdress.

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, but I didn't learn that it was a faux pas to wear white to a wedding until I joined Mumsnet, so I assume a lot of other people don't know this (imo attention seeking) social etiquette either.

I beg to differ, I got married in full meringue mode and then took myself off to a nightclub with the bridal party, we had a blast!
I got my poofy dress secondhand for £25 with the sole intention of going clubbing. Bargain.

As you were...

I think it's fine. I would be just pleased people were there. I would draw the line at long white dress with a veil for ...a guest. Soon brides are going to ask for a photograph of what you plan on wearing and then give their approval or not!

Every culture has wedding rules. As a foreigner attending my first wedding here I Googled and every single result says to avoid white.

Just like how Googling Chinese weddings say to avoid black.

Of course, perhaps you know the bride intimately or it's one of those boho beach wedding whatever things.

But if you don't, why not just avoid white? I don't know anybody who has literally ONE suitable dress in their entire wardrobe and it happens to be white. It's not hard. Why cause so much trouble?

There are hundreds of threads on the same issue and I always think the same thing. Even more baffling, half the threads are about dresses that haven't been bought yet!

Well it's a dreadful dress with no shape, so it's not like you'd be upstaging anyone. I might at the white accessories but I wouldn't really GAF.

I think its a nice dress and totally fine for a Wedding as it's not plain white. If you like it as well OP then definitely wear it

I wouldn't be annoyed, no, but I didn't wear white at my wedding, so wouldn't be bothered if others had.

Too white, especially with a white jacket. I wouldn’t care but I definitely wouldn’t wear it to someone else’s wedding.

It looks like it's from the nightwear selection in a residental home clothing catalogue.
Best paired with a pastel velour dressing and some non slip slippers.

You can't dress up your nightdress with a white blazer and shoes! I'd have been concerned.

It wouldn’t have bothered me as the bride, but equally I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding as I’d feel self conscious/ like it might upset someone- especially with white accessories.

I wouldn't care and certainly don't think it's is any way bridal.

It's not a great dress and I think accessorising with white would make it worse whereas the right coloured accessories could lift it to the point of improving it significantly.

No, looks nice for a wedding

But its got a big pattern , surely that's fine. Just noticed OP is using the past tense so the dress has already been worn either by OP as a guest or someone else as a guest at OP's Wedding and she is pissed off😂

So are you going to come back @whoopeo ?

Were you the bride, the wearer of the dress or another guest?

What are your thoughts?

There's 4 million other colours. No need for this.

And with a white blazer, a definite no.

General rule of thumb is....if you have to ask, then it's no, its not suitable.

It’s a lot of white with the coat and shoes. I wouldn’t care personally, but some guests might raise eyebrows. It’s horrible, too. But that’s probably not relevant.

Sorry I haven't been back yet.
Dniece wore this outfit to daughters wedding. Spoke to my sister and niece about it afterwards as I didn't feel it was appropriate and disrespectful (not that she would be mistaken for the bride, it's just disrespectful and not the done thing).

I purposely didn't want to say who I was (bride/guest etc).

How did they take it? How old was your niece?

It really isn't that hard, just don't wear white.

Disrespectful? Is this the 1800s?!
pf course it’s not disrespectful.
it’s a floral dress not a wedding gown

This doesn't sit right with me tbh OP. You've posted someone else's outfit on here for us all to judge. I hope she or her parent is on here and recognises it.

Isn't even!!
