That length wouldn't work with my body. It looks really great on you though and I think the print is beautiful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2490674 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:23:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2490674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DenverMom: well I hate my legs haha. So midi/tea length is my jam! :silly: It's a weird angle in the photo but it hits mid shin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2490665 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:19:24 +0000 DenverMom 2490665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That dress is very pretty and unique. I definitely think it's wedding appropriate. Personally, i would like it shorter, but I do like the dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2490660 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:18:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2490660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I would wear this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2490649 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:11:36 +0000 SweetiePie 2490649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok Bees, need input. Is this one better? Bottom half has some ivory but it's a much smaller area and has a bolder patter. Ignore the belt, sales girl was trying to upsell me. </p> [attach=3764/16/o3uarc.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481622 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 14:08:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2481622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wear the dress you posted. I wore a white background dress with shimmery gold flowers all over it. No way was I mistaken for the bride. My friend was just happy I came to her wedding. My SIL wore a white background dress with red and black flowers over it. When I saw her all I thought was how sensible she was to shop in her closet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481446 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:20:59 +0000 PawPrints 2481446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a beautiful dress, I bet there are other occasions you could wear it to. Not for a wedding though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481441 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:18:32 +0000 Autumnmama79 2481441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely! The last thing the bride should/will be caring about is whether one of her guests dresses is too white. Wear what makes you feel great :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481431 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 12:14:00 +0000 SweetiePie 2481431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: Ugh I know! I love it so much which is why I very briefly entertained it. </p> <p>@Happygal: I would love to buy it for the fun of it but it's kinda expensive. I can only justify for something like a family wedding :silly: I wish that dress was around when I was engaged because it is a perfect bridal shower dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481383 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:53:11 +0000 gingerbebe 2481383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I would do it if it was paired with a pashmina or a cardigan on top in a solid pastel color that would basically draw the eye to that color, as opposed to the ivory background. But it may be because I love the dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481374 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:49:47 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2481374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely too white. I think a white background is OK as long as there is a bigger, bolder pattern with more contrast. White shouldn't be the first thing you notice when you look at the dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481311 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 11:04:03 +0000 avivoca 2481311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely too white. I would give the side-eye if someone showed up at a wedding in that dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481256 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 10:25:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2481256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's too much white! I wouldn't wear a dress with a white background at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481241 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 10:09:55 +0000 Mrs. Marshmallow 2481241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the one in the photo. The colour white would have to be subtle, and not the main colour. The pattern is too light so when you look at the dress, all you see is white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481218 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:54:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2481218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: cute!</p> <p>I'm OK with a white background, but that one is too white. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481213 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:51:27 +0000 ValentineMommy 2481213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: Agree.</p> <p>I would, only if there was a larger, brighter colored pattern. The dress you posted, in my opinion, is too white and the pattern is too light and small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481207 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:46:13 +0000 MrsKoala 2481207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Available on Rent the Runway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481201 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:43:58 +0000 mediagirl 2481201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: that is such a pretty dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481200 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:43:09 +0000 knittylady 2481200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My general rule of thumb is if you have to ask if it's appropriate don't wear it. Safer. Beautiful dress though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481188 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:34:19 +0000 Happygal 2481188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For that particular dress, I think there's too much white. You should buy it anyway for something else--cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481187 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:33:54 +0000 MrsKoala 2481187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wear something with a white background only if the pattern was larger so that white wasn't the main color of the dress. Like this: </p> [attach=3009/16/o3f1si.480x600.8716628_fpx.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481145 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:13:17 +0000 SweetiePie 2481145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: that's a good point, I hadn't even considered pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481142 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:12:45 +0000 SweetiePie 2481142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: Yeah maybe a bolder pattern could work. I'll post anything else I find here for a gut check ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481141 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:12:18 +0000 mediagirl 2481141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: well, if she's going to be your SIL, that tells me that it's a family wedding and you'll be in a lot of photos with her. I'd go with something else and a different background color. If you were just attending a friend's wedding I wouldn't worry so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481137 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:11:50 +0000 SweetiePie 2481137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Seems like my concerns are being validated. I was secretly hoping I was just too strict with fashion rules :-) But I definitely don't want to offend her - or get any side eye! @Truth Bombs: If I'm being honest I probably would give side eye too. I just really wanted a reason to buy this dress! </p> <p>@Mamaof2: It's on shopbop. If you google Zimmerman Bustier Dress it will come up in results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481132 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:09:48 +0000 Truth Bombs 2481132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah that dress is way too white. I'll be honest, I would give the side eye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-white-background-patterned-dress-to-a-wedding#post-2481130 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 09:08:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2481130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, I wouldn't. Too white still! I'm sure the "rules" are much more lenient these days as wedding trends evolve, but I still wouldn't just in case! </p>
