Is this dress too white for a wedding?

It's really beautiful.

Definitely not too white.

samantha9 · 08/06/2026 22:55

Sadly it is too white. I say this as someone who thinks the whole, guests can’t wear white thing is ridiculous, clearly everyone knows who the bride is and no one is looking to
upstage. However as the mother of 20/30 somethings it’s a big deal not to have a white base and you’ll be talked about. I don’t agree with telling guests what they can wear to a wedding but it’s where we are so don’t risk it .

I don’t think it’s too white… however, that’s not to say that the bride of the wedding you’re going to won’t think that a floor length white-based dress is a bit off.

DressOrSkirt · 08/06/2026 23:15

Yes I think it is.

😂dear lord, anyone who ‘talks about’ someone wearing a patterned dress needs to grow up and get a life.

however it looks like it’d be uncomfortable to sit down to eat in and hard to dance or even walk in so on that practical basis I wouldn’t have thought it was very suitable for a wedding.

IwouldifIcouldreachit · 08/06/2026 23:24

I don't think it is too white. However, are you sufficiently slim for it? I'm a size 13 and I'd look like an over stuffed sofa in that.

Nelly44 · 08/06/2026 23:24

Yes too white for a full length dress

HeddaGarbled · 08/06/2026 23:33

Too sexy, too fitted, too long, too bride/bridesmaid-upstagey. White’s only a fraction of the issue. Just wear a nice day dress like a normal wedding guest.

mondaytosunday · 09/06/2026 00:48

It’s ok but that one dropped strap would drive me insane

Expatpolitico · 09/06/2026 03:34

It is by no means too white but it looks rather cheap, tacky and "trying too hard." Like a previous contributor suggested I would hire a chic designer dress or outfit.

AnotherThing2390 · 09/06/2026 05:42

I actually think it’s gorgeous. However, it’s floor length and white based. I’d stay away from this. That said, I wouldn’t have minded if someone wore that for our wedding. But if you are not sure though, I wouldnt risk a white based floor length gown.

PinkPerpetue · 09/06/2026 05:47

It’s a beautiful dress. It’s not necessarily too white but I think you’d upstage the bride, which is always a sin.

NormasArse · 09/06/2026 05:47

If you have to ask, I think you already know it’s not suitable. Why would anyone wear a white based, full length, off the shoulder dress to someone else’s wedding?

Unless of course you’re a bridesmaid.

Amiacoolorwarmcolour · 09/06/2026 05:48

The colour is fine.
I don’t like the one dropped shoulder strap it looks off to me.
Are you thin op?
Looking at the other colours it looks incredibly clingy and will show all your lumps and bumps.
Unless you have a flat stomach and are very toned I would avoid it.

BlossomLeaves · 09/06/2026 05:58

If you have to ask it’s probably not worth the ‘risk’ - there are so many other options out there, pick that you won’t be second guessing.

wanderingwillows · 09/06/2026 06:01

Too white

Daffodilsinthespring · 09/06/2026 06:03

you will look like a bridesmaid. Find something else.

Watercooler · 09/06/2026 06:04

You'd have to be very thin, very tanned and be very confident you weren't going to drop gravy down it.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 09/06/2026 06:06

It looks like a non-traditional wedding dress to me. I definitely wouldn’t wear it.

AxolotlEars · 09/06/2026 06:15

I don't think it's too white.

Overtheatlantic · 09/06/2026 06:38

It’s too everything

boobot1 · 09/06/2026 06:40

Why not just buy in the blue.

Flyingcarpetintraining · 09/06/2026 07:13

Thanks for the input everyone - you’ve confirmed my thoughts. I really liked the pattern but when it arrived and I tried it on it looked all of the ‘too’ things that people mentioned. I wanted it to be ok because I liked it but deep down I knew it was a no go.

The material is quite thick so is more forgiving of lumps and bumps than it looks but it’d definitely require significant fake tanning on my part and I’d have to avoid anyone drinking anything other than clear drinks anywhere near me!

Back to the drawing board! I’ll definitely check out the rental link suggested. Thank you 😊

Its floor length with a white base.

I never understand why out of all the colours possible, people will choose white to a wedding. Just choose another colour.

ETA - Club L will often have the same dress in different colours. Have you checked this one?
