    That is an absolutely beautiful dress! It is alittle too close to "bridal" though. I adore it!

    No - it looks too much like a wedding dress. Stay away from whites and creams...even very pale pink can be iffy.

    don't wear a full length gown, and especially not in white... :grumble:


    If the wedding is a formal evening wedding, she better wear a full length gown! (just not white or ivory)

    If you wear a dress like that in white or off-white (bridal dress colors) people are going to think that you were actively trying to be disrespectful to the bride and the whole wedding. Sometimes people never forget things like that. You will make a bad impression. As others said, there is a whole rainbow of colors to choose from. A whole combination of attractive, beautiful styles that do not look like wedding gowns.

    People really think stuff like that? I mean, really?

    I'll be honest. If I was at a wedding and I saw someone wearing that dress I'd think "Wow. Gorgeous dress!" Not "OMG! I can't believe she wore that! How DARE she! I hope she's not seated at my table because I'll just b*tch slap the crap outta her for being so disrespectful!"

    And if I were the bride I'd be thinking "Wow. What a gorgeous dress!"

    I think its gorgeous! personally I don't really think there is anything wrong with wearing it to a wedding but thats me, If someone came wearing that and they could pull it off good for them. I guess you would have to gage it based on the kind of bride maybe that dress but a different colour? personally when i got married I didn't care what others were wearing the day was about me & my groom lol

    Oops, I didn't consider that it could be a 'formal evening wedding'.

    Then again, it's not my style. Looks too serious for my age.

    The dress is beautiful! I would opt for a different color, but it doesn't have to be dark! See if you can find it in a baby pink, cream, even a sea green! Just remember, it's the bride's day and you won't want to take away from her moment!

    I'm with you.

    Maybe the bride is wearing blue(my grandmother did), or a huge frou-frou ball gown.

    Arbitrary "dress codes" irritate me. Not judging people by the clothing that they wear is one lesson many people still need to learn.

    I don't think anyone would be thinking they want to *****slap someone, but the age-old "wow, white dress represents wealth" has transitioned into "white dress signifies bride/wedding/what have you." In a sea of colors, pale or dark, the eye will be drawn to the white/ivory. Granted, many brides are going outside of that realm of color, but then, those brides expect that others may wear the same color as them, and frankly wouldn't care.

    As someone getting married in three months, I'd think it's gorgeous, but I'd also feel self-conscious if a guest wore that. That's not necessarily a guest's fault for my own feelings, but I'd expect someone to respect that this is the one day I get to be in the gorgeous, white/ivory gown. I don't get many days to have this; not even birthdays usually end up going well for me. Does that mean I want guests to look ugly and dowdy? Of course not. Would I appreciate it if they let me shine a little on that *one* day? Yeah, a little.

    I don't like it personally but whatever, I wouldn't wear it because it could be a wedding dress so it's a definite no-go. Don't do that, you have thousands of other days to wear a dress like that, don't do it on some other lady's wedding day.

    I have a dress very similar to this that I wore last year to the Submarine Birthday Ball (you can see a pic on my profile if you're interested). People asked us all night if we were getting married.

    Maybe look for something similar in a different color.
