Is this dress too white for a wedding guest?

[PrincessPeachy]

As the title says really. I was hoping to wear it for a nieces weddings next weekend. DH thinks it’s fine, I’m having doubts! I would wear it with black accessories.

Of course not!!

Don't be daft. You can't wear that. It's awful anyway.

Yes. It's too white.

You're clearly not going to be be the bride in it but likely to make yourself focal point in the picture because of the large amount of white in it. For that reason I'd say no

No it’s too white , too statement.

It’s too white.

If you event have to question it, don’t do it.

Definitely too white.

If you have to ask, it's probably too white.

If the main colour is white, it's probably too white.

If it's listed on the website as a "white dress", it's probably too white.

It also looks like something Cruella DeVille might wear, which may be a point for or against depending on your style.

If you simply like the style of the dress why not just get the pale yellow colour way instead?

For those that have commented that’s it’s awful, I actually own the dress and really like it 😂 I wore it on a cruise last week and thought I looked quite nice. I won’t be wearing it to the wedding, I knew it was too white, DH made me doubt my judgement.

You look really nice in it. It suits you, but seeing it on it will definitely be too white

It's literally a white dress 🤣

It looks nicer on you than on the link.

Looks really good on you, and absolutely doesn’t look anything like a “wedding dress”. I really would go with it.

It’s not about it looking like a wedding dress. Some say it’s because white will massively stand out in photos where really the bride should be the one standing out.

Many couples wouldn’t be bothered but when there’s a shitload of other colours you could wear, there’s absolutely no reason to wear a white dress.

it's fine.

I own a long white lace dress (very hippie summer holiday vibe) I wouldn't wear that to a wedding but yours looks in no way bridal.

I would wear it if already owned. That said, it’s an invite, not a summons to a wedding and I won’t be told what I can and cannot wear. It’s a nice summer dress and nothing like a wedding dress.

It actually looks much nicer on you than on the photo but obviously you can't wear it to a wedding as its a bloody white dress. Silly DH

Lovely dress OP but not for a wedding

Wouldn’t a bright red or hot pink dress stand out more in a photo?

It’s a lovely dress.

I have no social skills clearly because I have and would wear white to a wedding, and can’t see a single reason why you shouldn’t.

I would wear it as a guest no problems and any guest would be welcome to wear it at my wedding if they were happy.

I think it’s absolutely fine to wear that to a wedding.

It’s completely fine

It looks exactly the same. I can’t see how anyone hates it on the model but likes it on the OP. It’s a nice summer dress. not my style but it’s pretty

OP of you could swap out the sash with a black patent belt and wore black shoes and a black bag and maybe something black on your head you’d probably be fine.

Exactly- this thing about standing out is just fucking nonsense.
In a group photo - everyone will have different colours on and have no idea how this dress would ‘stand out’.

I think it’s a lovely dress, really suits you and wouldn’t cross my mind this wouldn't be suitable for a wedding.

I have no idea why I click on these threads as they just enrage me.
