Can some one tell me WTF this post says? Bueller?

Mere&Marty

No way. It's cute, not all-white or even mostly white and definetly doesn't look anything like a bridal gown. Wear it and enjoy!

mclovett

If it were one of my guests, no problem.  If it were someone walking down the aisle with me as part of the bridal party, problem!  If I were her, I would prefer you wearing a dress either in one/multiple of my wedding colors or in a lighter or darker version of one of my wedding colors.  Pick the wedding color or colors of her that you feel you are most comfortable in and look for dresses in that color or color family.

This reads black, not white

You are definitely good to go w/ that dress so stop stressing...

suelee821

Its nice that you are at least considering the bride.  Its definitely NOT white=) or anything to be offended by. At least you coordinate with the wedding party.

peach451

I agree with a lot of folks - this is in no way a white dress. Wear it, it looks nice - and the bride said it was ok.

ericacain

I agree with everyone else that this dress is perfectly acceptable to wear (and quite cute), but I just wanted to say that the bride is very lucky to have someone as consciencious as you involved with the wedding. Most people wouldn't give it a second thought, but you're very sweet to be concerned.

lindakallen

I think it's a perfect lil dress to me it's a black dress with what appers to be a white and red pattern,I think it would work well with both a formal and informal wedding but then again im doing a DIY wedding and im all over the place LOL..Love the dress tho you should defo wear it if anything u might get a couple of guys asking for ur number afterwards LOL ..good luck!

wicked_faery

i chose option b cause (depending on the style of the wedding) it's too casual...other than that it's a great dress.

i think your crazy to now wear it. its black and white.

ashleynadam2005

I think this dress is prefectly fine!

SamHtoB

Honestly, I think I disagree with most of the posts.  If you think it might offend the bride or hurt her feelings, pick something else.  I personally think it's pretty and not at all inappropriate for a wedding, but I just think you should air on the side of caution.  If you think it could be a problem, or bother your future sister in law, why not just find another dress?  I'm sure you can find tons, so I would just find something different, even though it isn't really inappropriate.

muratovic

You are definately over thinking this. Like some else commented earlier, its a black dress with some white. But on the contrary I get what you mean, honestly if you dont feel comfortable wearing it, then dont. I'm sure you can find something equally nice if not nicer. Good Luck and best of wishessss

FutureMrsTowns

its toally cute, and totally appropriate! some brides arn't so picky about the white thing (my mom is wearing an ivory pants suit, and I'm fine with it, especially since I'm wearing a ball gown) and even if she wasn't as relaxed as I am, that dress is totally not anywhere near stealing away from the bride, it's cute, where it, although I'm sure that she's flattered that you care so much

thepilotsgal

I think it's fine. I once wore a canary yellow satin dress with a chocolate color band around the top and bottom. I was super cute, but in all of the photos with flash, it looked WHITE! I felt so bad, but how was I to know?   

annapet

Maybe she is being honest with you, thinks its cute and wants you to wear it. Relax - let the bride & goom enjoy their day without added stress.

Lenore2010

I believe in taking what people tell me at face value-it is their responsibility to let their feelings be known particularly if I ask. It is not my responsibility to figure out if they "really mean it".

Second, I am not getting all of this stuff about coordinating with the wedding party. That is all good if you are part of the wedding party, but we do not generally print requested colors for attire on a wedding invitation. You can certinally choose to coordinate with the wedding party, or at least complement it, but that is a choice. I have seen some wedding colors there is no way in this lifetime I am going to coordinate with.

alicia and zack in vegas

First off, just wanted to say that   think that you are so kind for taking the brides feelings into consideration.  Secondly, that dress is cute, and not at all too white. I like the dress, wear it! 

kmvalentine

I'd consider it a black dress with some red and white on it.  If it was white with a sash or something, that would be different.

toshia94

It's cute!  Wear it!  It's a black dress with some red & white pattern... it's fine!

I think they have a name for this on-line speak and I think it is somewhat influenced by Hip Hop now, not just chat rooms and the like, as it was "back in the day" when the Internet began. I was kind of suprised to see it here on The Knot myself!

Barclay2010

I just laughed out loud at work reading your response. I thought the same thing yesterday.

ninjasgirl

I dont think color is the issue here... at least for me it isn't.

I would ask yourself about the formality of the event.  Is it a outside ceremony or in a cathedral.  I don't know if it would be formal enough for a cathedral type wedding

jhafaar

I think the dress is very pretty and you should definately wear it

Karamel_bp

That dress is fine, I don't think it has too much white at all. I think you are over thinking it.

ladycooper11

You might be over thinking this, the dress does't have much white at all. What is important is that you feel comfortable that day--not what everyone else thinks. If the bride gave you her blessing don't think twice about it.

MamaRe888

I think the dress is very nice and that it's incredibly sweet that you're so concerned about not stepping on any toes
