Is this dress appropiate for a wedding?

Kelly · Hermes

I think it's too white. Sorry

I don't think you should wear it. It appears to be very stark white with minimal black. Very cute though!

Cortney1982 · Chanel

If it was my wedding and somebody wore that I would be pissed to the point of making them leave! Only the bride should be able to wear that much white.

I think you look lovely and I'd be happy to have someone so well-dressed at my wedding. But since people seem to get upset by this sort of thing I think you should wear something else unless you know the bride well and know that she won't care. I can't imagine anyone I know getting pissed about something like that...well except for one girl who is kind of beastly and really ill-mannered.

I would agree. I certainly wouldn't be upset if someone came to my wedding in this dress (I love it and it looks great on you) but just to be safe, I would save it for another occasion.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I agree with this as well. But please wear it soon, because it looks beautiful on you!!!!!

IMO - It's too much white. A personal pet peeve - it drives me INSANE when people wear white to a wedding - especially girls. It should be all about the bride on that day. Sorry - just my opinion.

ditto- i wouldn't care if you wore that to my wedding either- but i'm not very traditional. even if the bride doesn't care, maybe someone older (like a grandmother or something) might care and make you feel uncomfortable. So i'd save it.

I agree, too. That dress is so adorable and you look great in it. If it was my wedding, I wouldn't care. I wore a dress similar to that to a wedding a couple of years ago, and I got a few evil stares, but the bride came to me and told me I looked great and looked far better and dressed more approriate than those who were giving me the stares. So I would just ask the bride, to see what she thinks. You probably will be the best dressed person attending the wedding. Good luck!

Kitty · Hermes

I personally didn't see a prob. with it..but I am so clueless about these things. I guess people get really pissy/upset about this type of thing.

Hedvig · Coach

Since the dress isn't all white, you could definitely wear it. But I agree that there will probably be some more traditional people at the wedding who might think it's a faux pas to wear a dress that has that much white.

On a side note, a white dress on a wedding guest would only annoy me if I knew said guest didn't like the bride and was likely to be disrespectful on purpose. Otherwise, I don't think I would even notice.

Kelly · Hermes

If it was my wedding, I think I would be kind of annoyed. Not because I necessarily think "I should be the only one allowed to wear white," but because it is a tradition, and I think people know when they are going against tradition. I didn't make up the custom that people can't wear white to a wedding, and I wouldn't if I had the chance. But because it already is a "rule," if someone wore white I might feel like she was deliberately trying to disrespect me or annoy me. My cousin's wedding was a while ago, and my other cousin wore a white dress to her wedding. It was a really cute dress, but everyone was talking about it when she walked by. You could see the heads just turn and stare as she walked down the aisle for communion. I just don't know if it's worth it to wear a dress you know could upset the bride or her friends and family. Even if the bride doesn't care, you could get on bad terms with her more traditional friends and family who do care.

Really? Oh Gawd give me a break...

I honestly don't see what the big deal is...If the bride pitches that much of a fit about it I would suggest she take a pill...have a drink and RELAX.

damn

it's just not that deep.

Ayo you said it perfect of course Iam not very traditional either at my wedding I wanted everyone to feel comfortable in what they were wearing and be happy b/c than Iam happy So just to be on the safe side choose another dress. Btw it looks great on you

Personally, I wouldn't wear it. If I were a bride, I probably wouldn't mind (and I certainly would NEVER kick someone out for wearing it), but the point is that wearing white to someone else's wedding is still a touchy issue for some. Since white is the one color that distiguishes a woman from everyone else on that one particular day, I think it's fair to leave that color for only her on that one day. I think that there are so many other pretty dresses in other colors that you're bound to find something that looks as great on you as that dress does. That's my two cents.

I agree

. It could be okay or it might not, so I'd just not test the issue and wear something else.

I think it's ok to wear it. It's not a ball gown or anything that would take the attnention away from the bride. Of couse it depends if u know the bride well enough to be sure she's cool with that dress. If you're not sure, don't wear it. Better safe then sorry.

I just had my wedding two weeks ago and two of my friends wore white or off white (it look like wht in the photos.) It wasn't fancy or ball gown style dresses so I didn't really mind. Plus one of them call me up to ask if both of them can wear their dresses to the wedding and one of them wore a lt color shawl to cover most of the wht just to sure.

Now my sister-in-law wore a wht fancy dress. It was ball gown style and beaded. But I'm like a good five inches taller then her and thinner. She look like a child playing dress.
