Going to a friends wedding next Saturday - we're medium close, invited to the whole day but not in the wedding party or anything. I can't afford a new dress but have a lovely only-worn-once dress that I bought for DSs Baptism a few months ago. It's from Pepperberry but no longer on sale or else I'd have posted a link. It's a cream dress, not at all frilly/wedding dress-y, knee lenths, sleeve-less but with thick straps. It's cotton, reasonably plain but with patterned (still cream) sections on the skirt.
I will wear it with coloured accessories to minimise the cream/wedding effect. I also have an-almost one year old who will be attached to me/in the sling most of the day so really really not going to look like the bride! I don't know what the bride is wearing but do know her well enough to know it will be a traditional big white dress - full length, frilly, veil etc.
I really want to wear this dress - please can I???
