Can I wear this dress to my sons wedding

Tuttsy, on October 6, 2015 at 8:36 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 37

I fell in love with & bought this dress to wear to my sons wedding, but my sister tells me any white at all is taboo. It is a tropical beach wedding so light colours seem most appropriate. Please help.

    I would be fine with it, but your FDIL is the only one who can say for sure!

    Wear it to the rehearsal or an after party.

    If you have your heart set on this dress just ask your FDIL. When you ask her also include the option of dying it a light blue. This way if she is uncomfortable telling her FMIL she can't wear a dress you give her a nicer option she might be more comfortable telling you.

    It doesn't look anything like a wedding gown. I think you're fine.

    If you could dye it a light blue, that would be beautiful! The blue will look great with the other colours. And ask FDIL, she might be completely fine with the dress as it is Smiley smile

    I think its way too much white, its a gorgeous dress, but not for a wedding, especially your son's.

    I personally say there's too much white. Ask your FDIL for her opinion.

    I agree it's too much white.

    Dying it would be a good solution (:

    One more vote for, 'It's lovely, *I* wouldn't care, but ask your FDIL".

    I would wear something a little less cheap looking - a giant blue screen printed flower on a halter dress?

    This is pretty much only appropriate for a teenager at a luau

    ETA Oh my god, for $1,000 - you can find something much better.

    OMG I just googled this image after @m said that, and this dress is listed at $949. I didn't even pay that for my wedding dress!
