I think it is too white - cute dress, but not really appropriate for someone else's wedding.
I think the philosophy of "If you have to ask, don't" applies here!
I'll add that - yes - I know the dress isn't "white". But in my mind, wedding guests shouldn't wear white, ivory, cream or off-white (all too close to the bride's dress) and this dress is clearly cream (that's even what the website calls it).
I like the dress and would wear it, but you know your friend better. Is she the type to raise an eyebrow over something like that? Two of my best friends, one would love the dress and encourage me to wear it, and the other I could definitely see getting weird about it.
I don't think it is to close to white at all. It looks very pink to me. And if it is even darker in person, than I don't think you have anything to worry about. Its a really cute dress too! :)
I think its cute and fine to wear! It looks sorta peachy to me.
One thing to remember is the reception halls aren't always well lit. If the couple is going for an candlelight type ambiance, with low or amber light, then anything in the cream/ivory/beige/pale pink catergory is going to look the same as white. I was just at a wedding last weekend with an outdoor ceremony and indoor candlelight reception. During the ceremony, I noticed a girl in a nice dress with a white top and a khaki skirt - very obviously not a wedding dress, and totally cute. During the reception I saw her and did a double take because the whole dress looked the same color and it looked white! I noticed other people doing double takes as she walked by, too, so I wasn't the only one who noticed, and I'm sure people who hadn't seen her earlier just thought she was wearing a white dress. So just remember, in the bright lights of a dressing room it may look different enough, but on a dimly lit dance floor, you may end up feeling uncomfortable.
I think it's fine...it actually looks pink-y to me! I like it...it doesn't to me look at all bridal, and doesn't look close to a wedding dress.
I'm afraid I can't omment on the link as it sends me to the European homepage for Anthro - but as I never even knew they had stores in the UK, this is a massive-awesome-lucky-find for me, so thanks for posting and good luck with your decision.
For what it's worth, I would say probably best to steer clear of anything which might be considered cream/ivory BUT use your best judgement; you know your friends best.
The dress is an obvious beige, and nudes are so in right now. I think it's fine. In fact, I even pointed that dress out to my bridesmaid as an option. If you're worried, pair it with dark accessories.
I think if you pair it with colorful accessories (bright colored cardigan or shawl, bright shoes, some colorful jewelry) then you will be fine. But if your honestly worried about it, then ere on the side of caution.
I'd maybe add a brown belt and some chunky brown bracelets or a multi strand long gold necklace - it needs something take it away from being to light. Definitely don't add anything blingy at the waist or floral.
EDIT: I just looked at the other pics on the website and it's definitely cream. I'd say skip it. If it were more pink or nude it would be cool but I think that's too close to being bridal. Sorry!
I like it... maybe pair it with some killer heels and a wide belt. It doesn't look bridal at all to me.
I would have been fine with it if someone had worn it to my wedding but I'm pretty relaxed on the whole don't-wear-white thing anyways. It's super cute!
I'd advise finding something else. It is definitely cream colored. Maybe a colorful belt or sash would make it less of an issue, but I think that the bride could be offended. It is a beautiful dress though!!
It's a cute dress, and it would be more than fine with me if a guest wore this to my wedding, but it really depends on the bride. Are you close enough to ask her? If not, just go with your gut and avoid anything that might upset her on her wedding day. I agree it's not all that bridal, and you can definitely downplay it even further with the correct accessories.
At first I thought it was pink, so I was wondering why you posted it. After seeing the link that camrie posted, I'd say definitely do not wear it!
If you absolutely love the dress, you could look into getting it dyed.
haha oh no its like split right down the middle! ;)
my friend definetly is not the type to hate me if i wore the dress, but i dont know what her family or other people might think. and even if she was upset - she wouldnt tell me! i wouldnt want her to be upset!
i think all the ideas about pairing it with colorful accesories is a good idea! thanks everyone! i dont think i wanna wear a cardigan in mid july though, i might bake from the inside out! ;)
maybe ill look around for another dress in case, and have that one be my backup if i cant find anything else.
Man I LOVE that dress!!! GORGEOUS
I would not feel comfortable wearing a soft cream like that. But damn...that looks a lot like what my bridesmaid dresses did!!!
It's really pretty, but no, not a color i'd wear as a wedding guest.
Cute dress, but I wouldn't wear it.
I agree that if you are going to anyway, then it needs a wide belt and some colorful accessories.
Cute dress, but- on my monitor it looks very white. I wouldn't wear it to a wedding out of courtesy.
I think it's too close to white/ivory to wear. Some brides wear champagne colored dresses now and this could be close to the bridal gown color, no? My friend's wedding dress was very similar in color to this dress. I don't know...I personally wouldn't do it. Such a pretty dress though!
Nothing white about that dress at all, if your friend is not a diva then I say go for it!
I like the dress it looks a little pinkish white to me...but I think you might want to reconsider just in case.
