Sorry, too white.

OliveMS · 30/04/2023 18:33

If you have to ask I would say yes but also yes it is very white for a guest. If you are unsure, ask the bride

Anotherpinkginplease · 30/04/2023 18:35

Too white for me I wouldn't be happy. So many other colours to pick from

faffadoodledo · 30/04/2023 18:51

There aren't so many other colours to pick though. Already on this thread we've learned that green, black and red are no-no's, along with anything whitish.

Mandyjack · 30/04/2023 19:13

Don't see a problem with the colour

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 30/04/2023 19:15

Lovely dress. Might photograph really really white/bright, however. I'd ask the bride or go with something else.

While we're here, what do people think of this dress for a wedding?

https://www.quizclothing.co.uk/clothes/00100037301.html?vpid=00100037301

Partner and groom are friends; I've only ever met the bride a handful of times and we have no mutual friends so hard to ask.

I think thats nice
I dunno what the issue is with some people with wearing something that's got a white background. If it's such a big deal maybe they need a state a dress code then guests can choose if they want to abide by it or just not bother going to someones wedding whose fixated on what their guests wear

Best ask the bride.

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

I've heard you don't hear all white but saying a dress has too much white seems ridiculous to me. Lots of wedding guest type outfits in summer have white backgrounds. Brides should just be glad someone is going to the expense of turning up as its not cheap to go to a wedding especially if it's a long way

nofusspot · 30/04/2023 19:36

I think it is lovely. Personally I would find a green bag and possibly a fascinator to play on the green. If you need something for your arms perhaps a green cardi? No one is going to mistake you for the bride and if its a summer wedding there will be other colourful dresses. I would suggest you try to stand near the end of the row in photos as the white will naturally draw attention so the bride in white needs to be centre. Also if the bridesmaids are wearing any green then it's a no.

Beach/resort wedding fine. British wedding no. Far too dressing gown like.

Georgyporky · 30/04/2023 19:38

Deffo not for a wedding - unless the bride is from a culture that doesn't wear white for a wedding.

WilsonMilson · 30/04/2023 19:43

I’d pair it with a green bolero or pashmina and green shoes, then you’re fine.

tolerable · 30/04/2023 19:54

no

Guavafish1 · 30/04/2023 20:04

Fine

Suedkay · 30/04/2023 20:04

Its gorgeous so go and buy it!

HideousKinky · 30/04/2023 20:06

It's not a white dress. It's a green & white dress. So it's fine.

Jellycats4life · 30/04/2023 20:10

It’s a print on a white background and would never be mistaken for a wedding dress in a million years. It’s fine!

Any MNer who’s saying it’s unacceptable and would be upset if they were the bride is, frankly, barking mad.

Novynu · 30/04/2023 20:10

at the end of the day, regardless of polka dots - it’s still a white dress. Absolutely not.

Personally I think that dress is absolutely hideous! The style and cut is awful, let alone the dotty fabric - which looks cheap. However, if its your style I do not think it is too white for a wedding.

This.

Unless, of course, the bride is wearing polka dots.

Mrsgreen100 · 30/04/2023 21:53

Lovley dress , Chuck on a green pashmina or scarf , and no white shoes
perfect 👍

retirementrocks · 30/04/2023 22:17

It's lovely! Wear it! (Team with a non-white jacket if it's a bit chilly).

WarmButteryCrumpets · 30/04/2023 22:25

If you have to ask, it's too white!

You might get away with polka dots on a white dress if it was shorter, but I'd street clear of a long dress that was mostly white. They're are lots of other colours to choose from!

busymomtoone · 30/04/2023 23:13

I’m v traditional when it comes to weddings ( absolutely no to white or black) but this dress is v pretty and the spots are vivid , so I can see why you like it. However, unless ( and probably even if) you wear a jacket with it , it will still definitely shout loud in the wedding photos , and depending on the bride - you risk upsetting her ( and certainly any older/ more traditional relatives). Personally I wouldn’t risk it 🥹
