I would say if you have a buttoned cardigan over it, and you keep the cardigan on, it'd be okay. But as soon as the cardigan comes off because you're warm from dancing or whatever, it gets no so okay, IMO. At least if the bride is the type to fuss over that sort of thing.
I guess it depends on the bride. I personally would not care, but I know that there are a lot of brides who would. My advice is that if you have to ask, then don't do it!
Well I actually think it is a really cute... and I wouldnt be offended at all if someone wore it to my wedding... I might wanna know were you got it.. but since it is not all white and it is a more casual dress i really dont see why it would be a problem ... when i think no white dresses... i think like solid white or a very formal style dress that is mainly white
Its cute, but too white. Just find something that doesnt have any white in it at all
Def bring a cardigan but the dress is cute. I'd wear it and accessorize it accordingly. There is alot of white on that dress.
with a cardigan it would be fine. but dont take it off :)
i wont do it but i will advice u to ask the bride... she will let u know.
Honestly I think it's fine. It's really cute and doesn't look bridal at all. Yeah, it's white, but the pattern is substantial enough to make it acceptable IMO. 'Specially with a cardigan.
I always go by that rule: if I ask myself if it's ok to wear something, it's probably not... What I mean is, if I had doubts to begin with, I'll probably end up not enjoying myself as much as I could have at the reception because I keep thinking about if my choice was right or not, if people are judging, etc.
So more for this reason than for the dress itself, I wouldn't wear it.
Well it's not totally white, it has the black and grey polka dots so i guess it's fine. I wouldn't mind if someone wore that to my wedding. It's actually really cute.
I think it is too white for a wedding. It may be fine with a cardigan (but I'd still say to look for a new dress), but there is also a decent chance you'll want to take the cardigan off to be more comfortable at the reception with dancing, lots of people, etc. - again leaving you too white for a wedding.
I made the mistake of wearing a black and white floral dress to a casual wedding, and felt self-conscious the whole time. It had less white than yours does, too. I say, don't risk feeling awkward!
I wouldn't mind at all if someone wore a dress like that with polka dots (especially with color) to my wedding. Maybe some brides will. So it depends.
it's totally fine. it's not a bridey looking all white dress. i'm sure you can get away with it! anyone who'd get offended is ridiculous!
This will be a never-ending debate. Personally, I wouldn't care if a guest wore this to my wedding-- I think it's a super cute dress! Other brides may think different... only YOU know the bride best and can make the right decision. Good luck. :)
I think it's fine, with maybe red dress and clutch? Really cute. Unless this just isn't done in your area, but I thought this wasn't so much of an issue any more... It's not plain white and long, anyway.
I wouldn't care if someone wore that...but I always air on the side of caution. I wouldn't wear it myself to a wedding. If you are close to the bride send her an email with the pic of the dress and ask her what she thinks.
I agree with the other bee's who said if you think about asking, it means don't wear it!
A wedding isn't a time to take fashion risks and flaunt tradition (unless the couple is encourging it a la "offbeatbride.com"). Please don't ask the bride! Even if she says it's ok, she may change her mind later and feel weird about bringing it up. And there's enough to deal with before your wedding without people asking you about what they should wear.
Cardigan! I think it's a perfectly fine (and perfectly cute!) dress.
DOnt wear it - I feel like if the dress is more than 50% white its a no no! Save yourself the stress of wondering whether the bride will care or not and just choose something else
That is a cute dress, with a cardigan! Wear it, that dress in no way can compete with a wedding dress. If it does then her dress in not dressy enough!
DONT DO IT! THE DRESS IS CUTE BUT WHY EVEN GO NEAR THE COLOR WHITE? I AM SURE YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING ELSE...
i think it's fine. as long as it isn't ALL white, i don't see anything wrong with it.
I wouldn't wear that, its too white for me! Also, what if its really hot & you don't want to wear a cardigan? The dress is very pretty thou!!
As you can see from all of our differing opinions it depends on the bride. If someone showed up in that at my wedding I wouldn't care....it's a cute dress.
Eh, why risk it? If I were you, I'd wear a different dress and come up with plenty other reasons (I'd make my own fancy occasions if I had to) to wear that one over again.
If you wore that to my wedding, I would march right up to you and say....that is the cutest dress ever, where did you buy it because i have to have it for myself this very second!
As you can tell, everyone's opinon is different so just go with what feels right to you!
I wouldn't ask the bride. More likely than not, even if she feels slightly uncomfortable with it, she'll say yes anyway because it would be awkward for her to express that discomfort. But I suppose it depends on your relationship with her. I agree with the sentiment that "if you have to ask, you should probably just skip it."
Adorable dress! However, I personally wouldn't wear it to a wedding unless I had a black cardigan or something over it because I feel it's too white. Just my opinion though :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So I bought this dress for my friends bridal shower (it's a chic dress theme shower). I want to wear it again and I thought I could maybe wear it to an outdoor wedding in May if I wore a colored cardigan and colored shoes... but is that enough to tone down the white? Should I just say it's cute for the shower but not for any wedding? I just love the dress but don't want to be "that girl in white" at a wedding...
Thoughts???
