It’s fone.

If it’s a very formal wedding you’ll be OK.

If it’s a more relaxed, hippy affair then it could be a wedding dress.

jalopy · 06/05/2019 09:37

Too bridey.

dropthemic · 06/05/2019 09:39

Beautiful dress but I wouldn't. Especially due to the length.

ReganSomerset · 06/05/2019 09:42

No, probably not. Do they have it in another colour?

Sexnotgender · 06/05/2019 09:42

I’d say nay.

NiteFlights · 06/05/2019 09:44

I agree with BikeRunSki, and if you go for it, be careful with the accessories.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 06/05/2019 09:45

No. It is too close to bridal/ bridesmaid. If they do it in another colour it would be better but I think the style isnt great for a wedding guest

dudsville · 06/05/2019 09:47

I agree with the pp who said if it's a formal do then it's a nice choice.

Princesspeachy0 · 06/05/2019 09:48

I think it's fine & gorgeous!

ParkingIInPlainSight · 06/05/2019 09:52

It’s lovely. Bright accessories. Just don’t wear a veil.

AdaColeman · 06/05/2019 09:53

No, too bride like.

FraggleRocking · 06/05/2019 09:55

Really depends on the wedding. If in doubt, steer clear,

Swiftier · 06/05/2019 09:56

I wouldn’t, it could look to bridal. Why risk it? You’d feel awful if it was similar to the bride’s dress (if it’s a boho type dress for example). Just go for something different.

ShowOfHands · 06/05/2019 09:58

I really like it. Where's it from?

LaMarschallin · 06/05/2019 10:00

Is it a church wedding?
If so, I think the bare shoulder isn't quite the thing.
Otherwise looks fine; the pattern offsets the whiteness.

If it's an Irish wedding, from what I've heard else thread, you'll be wildly underdressed.

For me? If I even had to ask myself if it was "too white" or "too long" I'd skip it and wear something else. It's more important that the bride doesn't think someone's trying to outdo her (even though you're not) than for a guest to wear the dress that favours her best.
Bet you'd look great in other outfits and wouldn't need to worry if they were "too" anything.

If you do go for an alternative, might we get a picture? I love clothes threads Smile

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 06/05/2019 10:01

As a rule of thumb, if you have to ask, the answer’s no.

Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies · 06/05/2019 10:03

Although actually, I think the dress is probably okay, it could cause somebody to tut, which, on the whole, doesn’t add to a wedding.

Hoppinggreen · 06/05/2019 10:04

What matilda said

Disfordarkchocolate · 06/05/2019 10:07

I think it's fine but the long sleeve will end up in the soup.

Russell19 · 06/05/2019 10:22

No, I wouldn't x

dontgobaconmyheart · 06/05/2019 11:36

I'd say no OP. And agree that if you have to ask it's a no anyway. There may be people here saying it's ok but would you be happy with the same no of people who have said it isn't frowning on you at the wedding - because presumably you can expect the same ratio!

It's so easy to find dresses that are not dubious so I wonder why on here everyone's so keen to skate the line. A wedding isn't really an opportunity for a person to wear their dream dress or one they saw that they want an excuse to buy, you're just meant to turn up and dress respectfully and celebrate the day where someone else is the feature. It's not ascot Grin

Bluntness100 · 06/05/2019 11:43

I'd also say no, it seems ott for a wedding. I keep saying it but I've no idea why people see a wedding invite and think quick I shall wear a long white dress. There are so many beautiful colours and dresses available. The question has to be why?

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 06/05/2019 11:49

I love it & think it’s ok for a wedding but judging by the mixed comments on here I wouldn’t wear it

janeybumtum · 06/05/2019 12:01

I was going to say I think it's fine but I can see most disagree so perhaps err on the side of caution. It's a beautiful dress though - maybe there's something else you could wear it to? (Hopefully?!)
