Is this dress inappropriate for a wedding night do

So have a wedding night do this weekend and had planned on wearing this dress. Just realised given that it's white it may be completely inappropriate to wear? What are people's thoughts?

Too casual and too white.
It's a holiday dress.

sheeplikessleep · 13/07/2023 13:15

I wouldn’t wear a white dress to a wedding but maybe I’m a bit traditional!

Circumferences · 13/07/2023 13:15

Isn't it s bit of a no-no to wear white at someone else's wedding?

Could you message the bride to ask her opinion?

bibbingo · 13/07/2023 13:15

Definitely don't wear a white dress to a wedding, and that would be too casual anyway. It's a day time summer dress IMO

WunWun · 13/07/2023 13:16

I definitely wouldn't wear white to someone else's wedding.

SageRosemary · 13/07/2023 13:16

If it's your own wedding, it's fine.

If it's someone else's wedding, there is time for Dylon!

CoreyTaylorsSoggyTshirt · 13/07/2023 13:17

It's not too casual for an evening do, but it's definitely too white.

something2say · 13/07/2023 13:17

No I would not wear that.

neverenoughchelseaboots · 13/07/2023 13:17

I wouldn’t give a shit if you wore it to my wedding.

But given there are thousands of dresses in the world and the conventional wisdom is don’t wear white to a wedding, I’d say pick a different dress.

Loveys · 13/07/2023 13:19

I despair

EmmaGrundyForPM · 13/07/2023 13:19

It's too white. So no.

Fearnecuptea · 13/07/2023 13:19

No, wouldn't wear that- it would literally look like you're trying to upstage the bride! Also, is it a beach dress?

fireflyloo · 13/07/2023 13:20

It's something you'd wear on holiday and it's white so double no.

Ilovelemonandsugarpancakes · 13/07/2023 13:25

That's everyone I thought so. Will wear something else :-)

It's more of a day dress anyway.

QueenBitch666 · 13/07/2023 13:44

It's à gorgeous dress but a no for a wedding

Qilin · 13/07/2023 13:46

It's not too casual but definitely too white.

cocksstrideintheevening · 13/07/2023 16:31

It's a beach dress

RebelR · 13/07/2023 16:38

I don't think what you wear matters very much if you're only going to the evening, but you can't wear white.

Whataretheodds · 13/07/2023 16:39

Don't message the bride to ask- don't put her in that position (as apparently there a plenty of people who would find it difficult to say no). .
Just pick another colour. And something of appropriate formally for the event.

Amuseaboosh · 13/07/2023 16:48

It's gorgeous! What's the quality and sizing like on Silk Fred? I want to buy it as a summer dress 😊

And no to wearing it for a wedding.

threecupsofteaminimum · 14/07/2023 10:03

Definitely not for a wedding, evening you want something a but more formal, slinky dress not prairie day summer picnic type dress like that.

pinkyredrose · 14/07/2023 10:05

I don't see why you can't wear it. Anyway it's the evening do.

Jongleterre · 14/07/2023 10:06

I have that dress and I'm going to dye it as I've only worn it once. It not suitable for a wedding as it's a very casual style.

You're right it's completely inappropriate.
