Is this too white for a wedding guest dress?

[Noooooogsh]

Having a wobble, I thought it was fine as it’s more cream and the spots are very vibrant https://www.marksandspencer.com/satin-polka-dot-tie-front-midi-column-dress/p/clp60597604#intid=plpnav_pid_pg1pip48g2r1c1

A) it's cream
B) it's got flipping big green spots all over it.

Of course it's fine. Wear it with green or contrasting accessories. Bright pink or orange.

I think it's lovely and ideal for a wedding.

If you think there's any chance that the bride might be a bridezilla I'd not wear it though.

I'm not sure if it's an age thing, but I suddenly find myself buying most of my clothes from M&S, they have some really lovely stuff.

You're the one who thinks wearing this dress "is an insult to the bride"

I'm not sure you know what "context" or "straw man" means by the way.

‘I'm not sure you know what "context" or "straw man" means. I’d not be confident that Coconut does either.

I thought it was pretty standard to not wear white as a wedding guest. There are so many other colours available, why risk upsetting the bride if she is someone who would take offence. Regardless of whether you think it’s unreasonable or not it’s her wedding day and it doesn’t hurt to be courteous.

No sorry, too much white.

It's got blue on it, it's fine. I think it only counts if it's all white or cream.

Best ask the bride.

I couldn’t have given a damn what other people wore to my wedding.

It's gorgeous

It’s lovely. It’s not too white at all!

No one's going to mistake it for a wedding dress, it's fine.

It’s fine

I think it’s beautiful and I would wear it to a wedding because it is very obviously not bridal.

In fact I have done, but the spots were black. Different brand but basically the same dress.

The second dress linked by another poster is way too short.

It's far too white for a wedding

I definitely wouldn't wear it because I'd feel really uncomfortable with everyone staring at me all day

If you have to ask, you shouldn't wear it. There are countless other colours to pick other than white. It's a lovely dress but save it for another occasion.

This is true. It seems fine with the polka dots, but maybe just ask to save any grief

I wouldn’t wear it for a wedding but I do think it’s lovely

I wouldn’t risk it personally, just because of how sensitive some brides can be… it would be fine for most but it’d be just your luck that this bride would find issue with it.

@NatashaDancing

The photos objection really puzzles me. The OP is the guest of her boyfriend who is a friend of the bride.

There will be 200 guests there. There's every possiblity the OP won't even be in a photo or she'll be part of a group or behind someone else.

If there are group photos, as there often are, where all the guests are included, I personally wouldn't want to stand out in a white dress as a guest at a wedding.
As a bride i wouldn't be arsed, it wouldn't cross my mind. Unless someone turned up in an actual bridal gown.
As a guest I would be mindful of wearing something that is mostly white, and add colourful accessories to tone down the white.
That's all.

Baffling?? Jeez your comment is a bit extreme.

The reason you don’t wear white to wedding is so you don’t upstage the bride. I doubt she is wearing green polka dots the dress is lovely and appropriate. I you are worried she is wearing the same dress or would be put out pop her an email. I am sure she will think you are being very thoughtful to check. Play up the green with accessories cardigan/jacket/bag/shoes. Have a lovely day.

It would need a green jacket - photos will be risky otherwise. I love it though.

In what way, shape or form is this dress inappropriate for a wedding?

Are people missing the big green spots all over the dress! Madness

It's a very pretty dress and I wouldn’t think twice about wearing it or asking for permission.
It's not remotely bridal looking

Good choice
