Can I wear this to an evening wedding reception?

Bought this dress, wasn't looking for it but it looks fantastic. Didn't give the colour a moment's thought.

On the way out of the shop I had a moment of horror. It's too bridal isn't it?

No.

Yes, I think it is. Could maybe dye it a different colour?! Lovely dress though 🙂

I mean no, you can’t wear that to a wedding reception.

Good grief no!

It looks like a nightdress. Even the model looks like she's got slippers on.

Nice dress, but even if it wasn't white it would look too bridesmaid.

No

Ugh. I know you are all correct. My wardrobe offerings are uninspiring which is why I went shopping 🤣 and now I have bought a dress I can't wear 🤣

I will have to manufacture another occasion to wear it.

Nightie.

I like it. Would wear it with a different colour undertop (navy maybe) or a cropped slouchy sweater over it. With trainers.

Oh I should have the title properly! Sorry. Not to a evening reception, no.

I thought you reply was a genuine suggestion of wearing it in a genuinely ironic way.

Seriously tho, your suggestion of a different colour undertop and shoes that were a bright colour might work.

No!

It's bridal.
It looks like nightwear.
Too plain.

I like this suggestion, thank you

For those interested, I didn't wear it, I wore a dress that I'd forgotten about and hadn't worn since lockdown. Result.

No, no and no
