Posted too soon. I’ve tried it on and it’s knee length, fits like a glove, but is the white acceptably covered by the pattern? Thanks

It’s gorgeous and absolutely fine colour wise for a wedding guest

DreadPirateRobots · 17/05/2024 10:15

IMO and that of same people it is fine. It is not at all weddingy.

You will, however, get bombarded with those who think even a whisper of white is too much and "there are so many other colours" and "the bride should be the only splash of white in the photos" 🤔, so brace yourself.

3peassuit · 17/05/2024 10:17

It’s lovely and no one could possibly mistake you for the bride.

Jeezitneverends · 17/05/2024 10:17

I wouldn’t even describe that as a white dress as it’s so patterned. It’s lovely and perfect for a wedding guest

WYorkshireRose · 17/05/2024 10:18

I think it's fine. Personally prefer it in the green colourway though.

FaeryRing · 17/05/2024 10:23

Thanks all. It’s my best friends wedding and she’s not at all Bridezilla so wouldn’t care what I wore but equally I don’t want whispers about white dresses and attempts to upstage lol. The green is lovely but just wouldn’t suit my skin tone/hair colour.

It’s lovely. I’m sure other guests will wear a light dress with a pattern so I wouldn’t worry at all

D20 · 17/05/2024 15:41

It’s lovely and not too white to be at all confused with the bride.

Alittlefrustrated · 17/05/2024 17:12

Very suitable imo

WindowViper · 17/05/2024 17:13

I really like it.

xyz111 · 17/05/2024 17:19

It's nice 👍🏻

DisforDarkChocolate · 17/05/2024 18:31

Gorgeous and perfect for a wedding. I'm a little bit jealous.

quizzys · 17/05/2024 18:41

Lovely. I'm imagining myself in it now! I think I'd put red or cerise pink accessories with that for the fun factor but would probably stick to something a bit more neutral Enjoy the wedding.

Yes, I agree.

GrumpyMiddleAgedCow · 17/05/2024 18:57

100% acceptable, I really like the green one… I digress into shopping for myself 😂 xx

BCBird · 17/05/2024 19:01

Lovely and acceptable

FaeryRing · 17/05/2024 19:41

Thanks all, looks fairly unanimous that it’s okay. Yes the green is lovely, but I have blonde hair and yellow undertoned skin so think it would make me look queasy. Feel like you’d had to be a bit of a senorita to carry it off! The navy would be nice but too ‘bridesmaid’ I think.

I’m thinking of cerise shoes and a smarter straw style grab bag with tortoiseshell handle, the wedding is fairly boho and relaxed so don’t want to look too stiff and formal. The dress is divine for those of you who like it and want to buy it 😉 flattering length, drapey silky lined fabric, feels very feminine and good quality yet light.

Such a beautiful dress, perfect for a summer wedding.

CassTheFox · 17/05/2024 21:03

It’s gorgeous! Very tempted to purchase, would love to see a pic of you wearing it to get an idea of the fit?

LindaDawn · 18/05/2024 17:38

Love love the green one but then green is my favourite colour. Feel it’s a bit more unusual.

Would love to know which bag you are after. Just what I am looking for.

Check with your friend if you aren't sure. Personally I wouldn't wear something that white to a wedding, but if your friend is ok with it that's what matters.

Sureaseggs44 · 18/05/2024 22:58

It’s lovely . And definitely ok for a wedding .

Grammarnut · 19/05/2024 16:09

Looks good. Smart hat and shoes. White with a pattern over is fine for a summer wedding.
