    A friend of mine is getting married in a couple months.  I've been trying to figure out what to wear (cuz i'm weird like that) and I have this dress http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=55&pageId=1&productId=560001035&viewAll=true&prd=Rose+Print+Dress&subCatId=cat210002&color=&fromSearch=true&inSeam=&posId=46&catId=cat4809277&cat=&onSale=true&colorFamily=&maxPg=1&size= that I got for graduation.

    I think that's fine.  I think the big print negates the white.

    I think this outfit is fine to wear, but maybe you should ask the bride to make sure...cute dress!!

    Oh yeah, that's totally fine. Actually, I don't know if this matters, but I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and our dresses were from White House Black Market and had a similar print. The bride picked the dress herself.

    It has large print on it, barely showing any white so it's fine to me.

    Totally fine.  And, personally, I wouldn't bother asking the bride.  She has enough on her plate :)

    Never ask the bride. It puts her in a bad position. I say the dress is a go!

    I think it would be fine, but, I might not wear it because it's already given you enough pause to post here. I find that if I'm worried about some element of a dress (Too much cleavage? Does it make my belly pooch?) then the worry nags at me all night and keeps me from totally letting loose!

    I wouldn't even classify this as a white dress.  You should be totally fine.

    My belief is that if it's a white base with print then you're fine. So go for it.

    I think it's fine.  I personally would classify that as a print dress and not white regardless of the base.  It's cute! Go for it.
