Is this too white for a wedding guest?

After seeing discussion on this on another thread I'm worried this dress I've bought is now too 'white'- I thought the floral pattern made it ok, but maybe not... What do you think?

I think that the dress being lovely & suitable for a bride to wear doesn't make it bridal!

@SaturdayRocks

Oh. You’re back motherloaded. Great.

You must be so annoyed the OP is big, fat ignoring you, and wearing the dress. 🤷🏻‍♀️

projecting much? Confused

JeanClaudeVanDammit · 11/05/2021 11:13

It looks great on you. I’m more convinced than I was before that you should go ahead and wear it, especially from the fact the invitation said wear whatever you like!

eepeep · 11/05/2021 11:47

That looks so pretty, OP. I think you're fine to wear it, all things considered.

Divebar2021 · 11/05/2021 13:26

It looks lovely... perfect for a wedding.

LuckyMcDucky · 11/05/2021 16:18

Not what you asked, but I think you can do better for the money op!

FreekStar · 11/05/2021 18:40

I'd love to see your recommendations @LuckyMcDucky

Sorry, are you being snarky or would you actually like help finding a dress op? Happy to help, but imagine you'd get better help starting a new thread tbh Smile

baldafrique · 11/05/2021 18:54

I dont think the dress looks anything special OP and you look like you have a great figure hiding under it!

LuckyMcDucky · 11/05/2021 18:56

Agree it looks as if the dress is hiding a lovely figure! It's not you - it's the dress. Maybe the neckline isn't right on you...not sure. Something looks...off to me and it isn't that it's off-white (arf)

baldafrique · 11/05/2021 18:57

I think it is the neckline

baldafrique · 11/05/2021 18:57

Have you seen the Needle and Thread dresses? They do lovely pastel type colours and are so nice as wedding guest dresses.

FreekStar · 11/05/2021 19:12

I'm not being snarky- I've already bought the dress and too late to return, and I really like it, but still love to see what other people like and maybe save for next time...

OP posts:
LuckyMcDucky · 11/05/2021 19:18

Well, if you love it and want to wear it, then that's all that matters really Smile

FreekStar · 11/05/2021 19:46

So are you ducking out of finding something better then? That's a shame @LuckyMcDucky

OP posts:
LuckyMcDucky · 11/05/2021 19:53

You really are getting snarky! Not sure why tbh. I thought you wanted opinions on the dress because you may not wear it - assumed it could still be returned. If it can't and you love it, then, no, I won't waste my time looking for one for you, obviously Confused. And if you're looking for another dress, for next time, well post another thread next time. I probably won't respond to it though as you're a bit scary tbh.

I've been perfectly polite and friendly to you op, so there really isn't any need to get like that.

baldafrique · 11/05/2021 19:55

Urgh so rude OP!

FreekStar · 11/05/2021 20:09

Errm, polite and friendly? Really?

baldafrique · 11/05/2021 20:10

Why say you're not being snarky when you were? Own it.

motherloaded · 11/05/2021 20:10

Let's be honest, it takes a certain personality to insist on wearing an ivory dress to a wedding

baldafrique · 11/05/2021 20:11

True that.
