Wedding guest dress - is this OK?

Can I just check that this is acceptable to wear to a wedding? i.e. not too white? (Pattern repeats on the back)
Had a sudden panic and doubting myself.
BTW I'm a (usually) frumpy size 18 & aged 50, not a sylph like 20 year old 🙂

I think it's lovely! Mumsnet tends to be incredibly militant about any white at all on a wedding guest dress, but this isn't bridal at all so I think you'll be fine unless the bride is an absolute nutter (or wearing the exact same dress).

I went to a pals wedding a few weeks ago and there were lots of white and ivory floral springy and summery dresses abound and nobody batted an eyelid, and this was a big traditional church do with all the bells and whistles.

Totally fine OP. Lovely dress.

It's lovely and I think it's ok to wear.

Perfectly fine to wear OP, I would not think that was a white dress!

Thank you
I didn't when I bought it, but then panicked.

Lovely with a dark fascinator or hat and bright button hole

Absolutely fine, as clearly not a wedding dress.
Enjoy!
