Another “is this ok for a wedding”?

Is this dress too white for a wedding?

No that's not too white. It's lovely. White is fine as background when there's more nonwhite printing over the white than there is areas of plain white.

Colour and pattern are fine, but it's weirdly long and stiff for a wedding.

@ErrolTheDragonI agree with you! It wouldn’t be me doing the talking about, and I didn’t care what guests wore to my wedding but that was 30 years ago. I think people around
my age could be surprised how strongly younger generations feel about his and how much of a faux pas they see it , I don’t understand it but it was a friendly warning that younger guests will judge a white based dress.

The length bothers me more than the colour.
This one is similar (a bit more pricey though)

Unless you are in the wedding party or plan to stand next to the bride all day it’s absolutely fine.
And no one is going to look at that and say “oh dear I wonder if that’s the bride “ Blue bag ,shoes and fascinator /hat if you want . No problem

What a horrible and unsolicited comment, presumably the OP is capable of knowing what her body looks like in things. Also lol at 'size 13'.

I'm getting marred in a couple of months OP and wouldn't bat an eye if someone turned up in that. Nobody is going to mistake you for the bride.

I think that without the blue flowers you'd be mistaken for the bride. I think the rule is, you're not to be mistaken for the bride, you're not trying to take attention from the bride.

If it was knee length, less so possibly but still. Pick another.

I would always just straight out avoid anything white or cream for a wedding.

I think the comments about you upstaging the bride are nonsense. Don't dull your sparkle. I wanted all my guests to feel their best not make themselves look shitter and dowdier to make me look better. I already looked awesome and was obviously the bride.

Same dress in a different colour would be my vote.

Can someone post the picture? The link isn't opening.

Here’s the photo…

Looks very uncomfortable to me. Not sure if the off the shoulder strap is meant to hang that way or it's just styled for the photo but it looks a bit silly.

Just looking again, All of the 'You may also like' dresses are wedding dress types.

Oh, whoops. Now it's quite clear which dress it is

It's a made up nonsense though.
If they have nothing better to do than talk about someone who is wearing a flowered dress to a wedding then let them talk.
I looked at my daughter's wedding photos again yesterday and there are many women wearing clothes that feature white. No one said anything or even noticed at the time because no one cared.
The not a scrap of white nonsense has just developed on social media over the last few years. Most sensible people ignore it

Thanks for the photo. It's not too white. Wear a lilac or purple fascinator and accessories if you feel it's too white.
Might need a size above if it's not forgiving on body shape

She has a fabulous figure. If I looked like that I'd wear it to Tesco 🤣

but not to a wedding. Nor any other colour they have it in, none are right for a wedding (except the pale blue, but I don't like that, it's 'too much')

keep looking! If you have the figure to look good in that, there are plenty of dresses available.

"without the blue flowers you'd be mistaken for the bride" but is has blue flowers so she wouldn't be mistaken for the bride?

It's blue floral. Of course it isn't too white.

It’s absolutely fine, and from a distance it’s going to look blue rather than white. This obsession with avoiding anything white has gone too far and people are no longer using common sense. Plain floor length gown in white, ivory or cream is a no no. Bold patterned floor length gown with a white background is fine.

It's clearly not white. It's blue floral.

I do wonder if the shape is a bit sexy for a wedding, though.

On reflection, I don't think I would wear something that tight and slinky for a wedding. I think it's inappropriate. But then, I'm a stickler for etiquette. I have seen a lot of these wedding-guest threads on Reddit and lots of people seem to wear tight, sexy, strappy dresses in colours like red and black to weddings these days, so I'm possibly out of step. I think overtly sexy clothing is more acceptable everywhere these days than when I was a young woman in the Nineties.

Exactly.

That one - halter neck with full skirt - is a much more appropriate shape for a wedding than the tight bodycon one, imo.

This is actually very useful for me to know! Nobody minded a white base if it was covered in coloured flowers when I was young, so am glad to know about this.

It wouldn’t be too white if it was a midi dress but full length looks very bridal. I would pick something else
