Is this too white to wear to a wedding?

[candreco]

SIL's beach wedding is coming up in the fall, kids are in the wedding, probably wearing royal/cobalt blue dress for DD and bowtie with khakis and a white shirt for DS.  I'm hoping to get a decent family photo while we're there, so I want us to coordinate.  DH will probably wear khakis and a shirt in whatever shade of blue I buy for him.  Is this too white to wear as a wedding guest?

[lemoncupcake]

Nope, that is lovely and totally appropriate!

I think it's fine. It's not all white, it's clearly not a wedding dress!

[erbear]

I don't think so. I would wear it.

[Leeham Rimes]

Yes. How dare you upstage the bride!

Just kidding. I think it's perfect. I wore a similar one but it was black and white to a wedding, it was all good.

[candreco]

Thank you all for your validation This is what I want DD to wear, but I think it may not be what she had in mind so I see some negotiating in my future.  I can't decide if I'm glad SIL's only criteria for the kids was blue for the dress/tie, or if it would have been easier to not have choices.

[Waffles]

Not at all! And it's a really pretty dress.

[WOT?*]

DD's dress is pretty and yours is a perfect choice for a beach wedding.

[Kristinmo]

Nope. I love that dress.

[wambam]

No

Another vote for totally appropriate, and also, where is it from? I've been searching for something just like it for a wedding I'm attending in a few weeks!

Nordstrom!  I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but I haven't seen anything else that hits between too formal and too casual even for a beach wedding.

I love that, its beautiful.

[jigsy]

I think its great...and as an aside, its a very flattering dress. mactastic, Its Eliza J brand, there are several different prints/styles but with the same structure. Very flattering!

I wore that dress to a wedding last year and got so many compliments. I love it.

Can I ask a sizing question?  I'm right on the edge of petite or regular at 5'4", where does the waist hit?  I often end up needing the petite if it's a lower waist, otherwise I end up with a ton of extra fabric that drapes weird.

I LOOOOOOVE that dress.

I'm 5'5 with an average torso, it hit at my natural waist. It is super long though, even in heels it dragged a bit.

I'm pretty sure it's on Rent the Runway too - I almost got it myself for a wedding in September.

That's when I just decide I'm going to wear it somewhere inappropriate, or go somewhere because I own it. lol
