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.

Why are people always such cunts to OPs?

I wouldn’t have worn that much white to a wedding personally - but why bother making a point of bringing it up afterwards? Your niece can’t go back in time and wear something else, so the only possible reason to have done this is to make her feel bad. What for?

I find it really sad as in upsetting that these family members attended your daughters wedding and instead of thanking them for coming you had a go at them for your nice wearing that dress.

I agree this is a phenomenon.

But in this case, the OP was a mean-spirited petty person, berating her sister and niece about nonsense and ruining memories of a happy event.

Yes theres a difference between "do you think this is ok to wear to a wedding? I'm a little bit hmm about it as someone wore it to my daughters - am I unreasonable' and another to say "aibu to have words with a guest who wore this to my daughters wedding"

You had a word with them about what your niece wore?

I'm embarrassed for you.

How strange to think it disrespectful. It's a flowery dress. Get over yourself.

This particular OP merits the opprobrium. I cannot believe the pettiness. Bet the niece and sister find out too as this thread is so identifying

Would have been interested in seeing OP's sisters face and OP's niece's face when she she hauled her niece over the coals for being 'disrespectful' and 'inappropriate' after the wedding.

Blimey I bet they were a picture!

It's a lovely dress. Wouldn't have worn white shoes and jacket mainly because I don't like those non colours.
You were out of order having a word about it. It was a wedding not a state occasion.

I find the whole white thing a bit odd. Unless it looks like a wedding dress, which hardly any of the white dresses I see on here are, who cares? It’s clear that the person wearing this is not the bride, why be so judgy about it

I’ll be keeping an eye out in the DM and they family fireworks

It’s a lovely outfit. I’m struggling to see what element could possible be disrespectful at a wedding. Do you think it’s too casual? Or upstaged the bride?

Having a word was really ott.

It’s a summer dress and looks nothing like a wedding dress. Honestly.

You're being unreasonable, what an embarrassing reaction to a lovely dress. Look at these comments properly and go back and apologise for being out of order.

It’s seen by a lot of people as completely not done to wear white to a wedding unless you are the bride. I fully admit I am one of those people. I probably wouldn’t have said anything but yes, I would have been silently raising my eyebrows at the wearer if they chose to wear that dress with a white blazer and shoes. So would a lot of people.

I accept many people wouldn’t think anything of it but my view is that it’s not a good idea to wear clothes to an event that are going to be seen as inappropriate by a large percentage of people attending.

No would not.

For Christs sake it’s not disrespectful! You have little enough to be worrying about if you actually complained about this. Mortified for you.

It's not the done thing to wear white to a wedding - everyone knows that! That said, if I were the bride I wouldn't be that bothered, but I can see how others would see it as attention seeking. Which it is, because it's inviting comment.

Well you absolutely owe them an apology!

When did you last see a bride in a blazer. 😅

I get not wearing white to a wedding, but that's plain white surely - which the pictured dress is not? I don't see anything wrong with this at all and am bemused that some posters do

Just to clarify. No I would not be annoyed by this. It looks nothing like a wedding dress.

That dress plus a solid white blazer over the top pretty much is plain white from the waist up.

The same dress with a green or pink blazer and shoes would be fine.

With the blazer and accessories, it's a predominantly white outfit. Why would anyone want to tread the line anyway? Why invite a situation where you could possibly upset the bride even a teeny bit?
It's not a major deal. But I get it.
