Could I wear this dress to a friend's wedding?

Beautiful dress!! But, it is too close to bridal. Steer clear.0

Is your friend wearing a white wedding dress?? I find it hard to believe she'd be that insecure as to get upset about the kind of dress you are wearing. You think she'd have other things on her mind.
But then maybe that's why I'm a guy. :huh: :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
That is an absolutely gorgeous gown, but I'd say no. It is both too bridal and too "bridesmaidy" (I looked at similar styles for my bridesmaid); you can easily look glamorous in a similar pattern or a lighter color, but the combination of length, glitz AND ivory/white is a bit too much. Plus, if you have to ask, it means you already know the answer.0

In another color, yes, but not white, dark colors aren't the only option, just not something that looks so bridal...0

It looks very bridal. Gorgeous though. Why not show the picture to your friend and say "I found this dress and I was thinking of wearing it to your wedding but I wanted to get your opinion on it. If you think it's going to overshadow your dress then I'll wear something else. I just didn't want to buy it, wear it and have you be upset over it."0

Too close to white. Beautiful, but too close.
ETA - What about this one? Same price. It is a neutral ivy, but not bridal white.

The bride most likely wouldn't notice... but other people would, and as much as one shouldn't care what other people think, as a guest, it's respectful to focus attentions on the happy couple.0 -

Not even this. Because the bride will feel like the "bad guy" if she says no.......and it's clearly too bridal.
Don't ask, just pick something in a different color than white or ivory.0 -

exactly, don't ask her, just don't wear it. It's gorgeous, but choose something else to wear to someone else's wedding0 -
Its a beautiful dress but big faux pas to wear white to a wedding unless otherwise specified... i think it would just make you seem rude and ignorant of common courtesy. Let your friend have her day choose a non white/off white/ champagne/ cream color.0
-
any color but this0
-
If you had to ask, you already knew the answer. That looks like a wedding dress, it's not appropriate to wear to someone else's wedding. It is beautiful though!0
-
No. Go with a different dress and a different color.0
-
It looks too bride-like to me. I've seen many brides with a similar style. I think you can pull off any color but white/ivory colors (although it's also nice to not wear the same color of the bridesmaids if you know what they are wearing).0
-
You could, but every atendee would comment on how you should never wear white/ivory to a wedding that is not your own... Have you gone to the store and made sure they don't have that dress in another color?0
-
don't wear a full length gown, and especially not in white... :grumble:0
-
I'd hate to think that deep colors are my only option. It would be nice to wear something glamorous like this. But to where?
I don't go to top level benefit dinners, but I do go to plenty of weddings.
It would be nice to go all out and look gorgeous after loosing some weight.
You have an entire rainbow of colors to choose from with the exception of white and ivory. To be honest, you kind of sound a little selfish. It's not your day, it's hers.
