Could I wear this silver dress to a wedding - or is it too white?

[Dinglydelll]

Last thing I would want to offend anyone - I was thinking of adding bright coloured and bold accessories to break it up?

To be honest, if you have to ask then its too light.

It's too light, too close to white.

It’s lovely. I’d wear it to a wedding. It’s obviously silver. And only on Mumsnet do people think you can’t wear anything pale.

Could you show it to the bride and ask whether she would feel that you’re trying to upstage her big day or if, like most sensible people, she just wants you to be there and have a great time and doesn’t actually care what you wear. Is she a close friend?

No - you’ll look like you wanted to upstage the bride… even with accessories…

PPs have said it isn't bridal - to me it actually could be if someone didn't want to go the whole white meringue.

As well as the colour, it's the sleeves, the hem, the length and the overall style. In a different colour those wouldn't matter, but in a close to white no.

The idea of upstaging the bride is so fucking ridiculous. Literally everyone will be looking at the bride and groom.

Am I looking at the same dress as everyone else? The froofy bit of 80s tablecloth bacofoil?

Absolutely this, which is a shame as it is a lovely dress

It's too attention grabbing for a wedding guest dress.

Wow, she sounds a piece of work. How entitled.

What a gorgeous dress. I’d send it to the bride & see what she thinks.

Have you seen these dresses in the flesh? They are extremely delicate and the silver one comes up so pale in daylight that it is often worn as a wedding dress. There's an example right there on By Rotation (though obviously she's indoors here so looks darker).

Any dress could be a wedding dress, if a woman so decided. That doesn't mean that a silver dress couldn't be a guest dress.

No way, too trying to upstage the bride - y.

No I havent seen it IRL - need to work out where to try on as company has gone bust so only rental now I think. Also PP said that it doesnt work for a larger bust and as I am 32-D the cut might not work for me anyway.

Am I one of the only ones who doesn’t like the dress? Maybe it’s the time of year but it screams Aintree Ladies Day for those of a less daring nature (or older) to me. It’s something that my very glamorous friends glamorous mum would wear.
sorry!

Well @Pieceofpurplesky I will be 60 in Nov - so suitably attired for my age then .... and def not likely to outshine or be confused with the stunning 28 year old bride !

Oh goodness - thats sealed it - never considered that the bride could actually wear it - now that would be grim. Maybe I should arrive shrouded in a large velvet cloak (like Scottish Widows!) and decide whether to take it off on not once I get the all clear....

No I wouldn't. It is a lovely dress but it does shout a bit 'look at me!' in my opinion.

Yes I don't see why not

I agree no one cared what anyone wore when I got married

It's too bling, would look like you're trying to upstage the bride..all of them too sparkly for a wedding imo unless you are only going to the evening do

100% NO. Way too much like a bridal dress!

Definitely not, it's far too close to white (especially because so many brides choose shades of off white for their dress). It could easily look white on photos too.
