Too white for a wedding guest dress?

[VenusClapTrap]

It’s not lacey or floaty, but it is basically white with flowers. Would you give this dress a swerve for a wedding? It’s in Greece in the summer, so I might be better off picking something looser anyway. But I like this a lot, it’s a good shape for me, and it’s reduced - can’t resist a bargain!

Too white and too short!

Yeah, I agree - swerve.

Yes, they do.
A then friend of mine turned up at my wedding in a floor length white dress, no flowers, just white.
Its not the reason I haven't seen her in years, but it contributed.
It's just bad form.

If you have to ask, it’s too white.

Out of all of the other colours in the spectrum, why do women have this type of issue with dressing as a guest at a wedding?

I like it, I don’t think it’s too white as it has a pretty obvious print with colour all over it. Certainly wouldn’t bother me as a bride.

I don’t really like it, but we can’t all have the same taste.

But I do think a double thickness of polyester would be hot hot hot in Greece in the summer, even if the wedding is planned for the evening.

Go for something cotton. Also, there are likely to be lots of lovely dresses in the shops in the spring - maybe wait until then.

Too white and generally not suitable.

Hmm ... Too white.

If you think it MIGHT be too white for a wedding, it's too white.

Absoute no no from me ...
Too white , too short

Inappropriate.

89% polyester outer, 95% polyester lining, all the rest is elastane.

As PPs have said, it wouldn’t be comfortable in a hot climate.

Too white. And just... no!

I see all the no white! Naysayers have descended. There is no such no white at wedding generalised rule. Only on mn is it a gross social faux pas. Let’s be clear the bride is the one down the front, with the groom, it’s clear who the bride is. Female Guest Wearing white won’t be mistaken for the bride and followed by gaggle of overdressed bridesmaids or press ganged into vows by a priest

GOPPING!!!! That's a brilliant word! 😆

A simple 'yes it's fine' would have done. If that's what you think.

are you planning to chastise other posters too?recommend they only post no,not fine
Crack on then,go tell the herd they could have responded no,not fine
I’ll keep a watch,shall I?

Genuine question in what way is it bad form did the groom get confused? Were you challenged to prove you were the actual bride? She wore white, so what. In what way did it actually impact upon your day? Sure you’re evidently unhappy but how did it contribute to such a rift.

I’d choose something with cotton or linen for Greece. Although at my brothers wedding the brides mother wore a white dress, everyone was astounded, and it was a traditional church wedding.

Its not very nice

@Zone2NorthLondon do you REALLY need to ask why it's bad form to wear white to a wedding - as a guest? FGS!

It's going to be way too hot in Greece to wear that.

REALLY! 🙄are you really going to insinuate the bride will be upstaged or guests and pets will be confused if another woman wears white. But who is the the bride. Oh really. What histrionic rubbish. It’s pretty self evident who is the bride, they’re down the front, or being followed by a group of women dressed like quality street sweeties. Let’s not make out it’s a catastrophic event.

Yes too white and as someone who lives in a hot country, you will melt in that dress. And it’s too formal and structured for a destination wedding. You’d look really out of place. You need something light and floaty in a natural fibre.

Well a simple "no" could have done for the naysayers.
