I've always been against guests wearing white to a wedding, but I really like this dress! Is it too risky to incorporate ANY white?

Not too much white at all. The dress is coveted in blue dots!

No helpful style advice, but I totally know that model! But the dress is adorable and would be perfect!

Too much white for me. I would wear white as an accent, but not as the primary color. But it's a really cute dress!

I don't have an issue with people wearing white to a wedding - if it's satin and not too dissimilar in style from a wedding dress, yes, I think that's weird, but other than that, no problem! It's not like people are going to confuse someone in a white and blue polka dot dress for the bride....and if they do, why are they at the wedding?! I think your dress is super cute and I'd wear it without hesitation!

I probably wouldn't wear it (although I wouldn't have a problem if someone had worn it to my wedding).

@anonysquire: Small world! Hopefully the dress looks as good on me as it does on her - haha.

Adorable dress! I probably wouldn't wear it but I wouldn't have cared if someone wore it to my wedding...
I did almost buy a dress for a formal wedding that was ivory but half black as well and sent the pic to the bride and she said absolutely not so I guess it depends on the bride?

No way, that dress is beautiful. I think that's a silly old rule. I would hesitate to wear something summery and white to a wedding.

I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. And if we're being honest I probably wouldn't have been psyched if someone wore it to mine. But super cute dress!!!

It's super cute! I wouldn't wear it to a wedding though - especially with white heals/gloves (which I'm sure you wouldn't do! Just an observation of the pic). I guess I'm saying, maybe different accessories (a belt maybe) could make it look more wedding appropriate...

I wouldn't have minded if someone wore that at my wedding, but I wouldn't wear it because I don't want to be the talk of the old ladies and whoever else is big on the no white thing. But I do like the dress and again it wouldn't have bothered me if someone wore it to my wedding!

Love the dress - could you ask the bride to make sure she wouldn't have a problem with it?

I stay away from any white, just in case. I personally wouldn't care if you wore that to my wedding.... but it just depends on the bride.

Same as @artbee: . I stay away from any and all white to a wedding.

Came back to add that I have worn white to a wedding. The dress was short and had a gold floral pattern on it. The dress was summery, daytime, dressy comfortable.
The bride wore a strapless gown with a asymetrical embroidery that flowed into a large skirt and train. Her hair and makeup was flawless and she had jaw dropping chandelier earrings. She looked every bit the part of a bride.
Some brides opt for all white weddings- bridal party in whute or cream or ask guests to wear white or cream. I really don't think it's a big deal. You aren't trying to upstage the bride. So far all of these dresses featured on "wear white to wedding" are not show stoppers. You found a dress you like and at the end of the day spend your money on something you like.

@Ree723: This.
I'd wear it in a heartbeat. I'd probably avoid wearing a wedding gown, but other than that, I think you're fine with white.

Totally off topic (sorry!), but someone wore an ivory dress with a taupe sash (exact colours I was wearing) to my wedding. I didn't care but people still talk to me about it! Ha!
I don't think that anyone could ever mistake a blue polkadot dress for a wedding dress-absolutely in the clear IMO!

I think it's a cute dress & not too much white, it has huge blue polka dots on it!

I think the no white rule is if the dress is only white. That looks pretty and perfect for a summer wedding.

I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. I would find something with a base that is any color other than white or black.

I think the polka dots help offset the white so I think it's okay.

As a few people have suggested, I think I might send a pic to the bride since it totally does depend on the bride. While I wouldn't have minded if someone wore it to mine, I can totally see how someone might. Better safe than sorry

The dress is lovely. It is covered in blue dots, I can't see any reason not to wear it to a wedding. I would wear it to a wedding in a heartbeat and wouldn't think anything of it.

That dress is lovely! But I woudn't wear it to a wedding.
When in doubt, I always ask myself: "would I be annoyed if someone had worn that to MY wedding?"
