And one woman’s dress at her wedding caused people to warn her to change her mind.
The young woman asked via social media if the dress was suitable for a wedding she was going to attend.
She clearly had reservations about her outfit, as she began her post by saying, “The dress for the wedding guests is cream.
“But it’s full of dots, is it acceptable?”
The dress was a maxi dress with a dropped waist, cream colored and printed all over with large black dots.
She added: “I love this dress and the lady in the shop described it as the ‘perfect’ wedding guest dress, but she clearly wants to sell it.
“I keep thinking it’s a lot of cream.”
The young woman admitted that this was not her usual style.
She continued: “I wouldn’t normally go for polka dots, but my husband saw this and honestly the cut and fit felt amazing and really flattering in person. It’s a little bit different than usual.”
Even though it may have been a polka dot, many warned her not to go for the dress.
The message shared with the Mothernet forum attracted the attention of many people.
They were quick to share their opinions on the dress, with many in favor of her keeping it in her closet on her wedding day.
Someone wrote: “I can’t help it that you look like a Dalmatian.”
Another commented: “No, it’s definitely not the perfect dress for a wedding guest. First of all, it’s a bit boring. It’s work wear and it definitely looks too white. You have to remember that photos can be taken in different lighting, which will also make it look whiter.”
Wedding Guest Etiquette
If you’re having trouble choosing a dress for wedding season, here are a few rules about what not to wear so you don’t get into trouble.
- According to tradition, wearing red to a wedding means you have slept with the groom.
- Informal clothing such as jeans and flip-flops should always be avoided.
- Any color that can be recognized as white or cream, even if it is not.
- Most will agree that your décolletage should be covered.
- Wearing white is absolutely taboo if you are not the bride.
“Nope. Find another color. I’d be a little annoyed if I was the bride,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “It’s a beautiful dress but I still wouldn’t wear it to a wedding. Anyone who wears a dress that’s too white or too cream to a wedding is a ‘look at me’ person in my opinion. It’s just one colour to avoid so it’s not hard to do.”
“Please don’t wear this to a wedding. Wear it for another occasion but I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding,” a fifth claimed.
Someone else added: “Sorry, I wouldn’t wear that to a wedding. As a bride I personally wouldn’t mind if a guest wore this, but a fair number of brides do. You have all the other colours to choose from, I think it’s polite to be respectful and just not wear white, ivory or cream.”
