Opinions Wanted - Dress for Bridal Shower

grovess3284 · July 2015

Hi All,

I rarely post on here but I'm having difficulty finding a dress for a bridal shower that I really like. I love this one, but is it ok to wear ivory to a bridal shower when I'm not the bride? What do you think?!?!

yl1m32015 · July 2015

I think it's pretty. I wouldn't worry about the white/ivory background of it.

Sunny2015 · July 2015

I would ask the bride and see what she says

sorry, I'm not much help

The background is ivory but I think the pattern is bold enough that no one is going to think you're stealing the bride's thunder! I think this is a fine dress!

This is what I was thinking.

I think it looks good, don't worry about the ivory. Just got back from a wedding this weekend, many people were wearing ivory, and the bride was still the only one getting all the attention, as it should be =] have fun!

Definitely thought it was for your bridal shower before I clicked.

I think it's a beautiful dress! I'd go with it.

Also: where is it from, as ladies need maternity clothes

I have that dress in 2 different patterns. Super comfy and flattering. It's from www.pinkblushmaternity.com the clothes are super reasonable and they always have a discount code online.

It's got a great pattern. The ivory doesn't matter.

Is there something about wearing ivory to a bridal shower?

taysun · July 2015

I think it's great, and if pp says it's comfortable it might be a winner!

JenniferKate315 · July 2015

I didn't even wear white/ivory to my own bridal shower! That dress is adorable! Wear it!

rachel10488 · July 2015

I think it's perfect! Actually, I really love it and want it for my baby shower, where is it from???

OP I think you'll look gorgeous and I wouldn't worry about the minor white background. @beccabeeee where was this wedding? In the northeast no one would ever wear white or ivory but they would wear black and/or red. When I moved to the south I heard black and/or red were strictly forbidden at weddings just like whites.

beccabeeee · July 2015

@CMDD I live in Cali, wedding was up in Santa Barbra. I was also under the impression that black was a no go for weddings, but I guess it's becoming a more popular thing? Lol actually, now that I think about it, I saw a lot of guests wearing black. My dress was pink. A lot of the guests that were at the reception weren't at the ceremony. Ceremony was pretty small, and the reception was geared more towards dancing and partying and was about 200 guests

redfallon · July 2015

In the South, wearing black would be for a funeral, so it'd probably be looked at funny to wear to a wedding, like you want to wish the couple bad luck or something. In any case, I think that if it was a wedding happening during the dinner hour, a black cocktail dress would probably be ok. Or not? I don't know.

momotheflyinglemur · July 2015

I think this dress is perfectly acceptable for a bridal shower. Color restrictions are specifically for the wedding and reception. Plus the pattern is so bold and lovely that white isn't even the first color that comes to mind when I would describe that dress.

grovess3284 · July 2015

I just discovered this site...www.pinkblushmaternity.com and they have awesome flash sales too! So in love!

VesperLove · July 2015

I've only ever heard of ivory/white being a potential issue at weddings ... not showers. Most showers I've been to the bride didn't even wear white. I did, but I think I'm the only one.

Plus, that dress isn't ivory. It's a beautiful floral pattern and no one would consider it ivory. And if they did, they're ridiculous. I say go for it

it's adorable!

ealiska · July 2015

Love, love , love- agree with all about the pattern.

beccabeeee · July 2015

Oh bridal shower? I think I got confused I don't know why I was thinking actual wedding lol either way I still love the dress! =]

rain0831boww · July 2015

Definitely get it. It'll look great on you.

grovess3284 · July 2015

Thanks for input everyone! I'm gonna rock it!

bbrady1031 · July 2015

I think that's very cute!!

LauraSmarterSpam · July 2015

It's super cute!

It would be a problem if it looked like this one.

Show us the other one! I really wanna see it now lol

rachel10488 · July 2015

@Caligurl858 This one! Altho I'm leaning towards the long one because it's stretchy and this one is not...maybe I'll just get both haha

Caligurl858 · July 2015

That ones is very cute. If I was ok with my legs I would def wear the shorter one. When's your baby shower?

grovess3284 · July 2015

@rachel10488 I ordered that one in a diff color but had to send it back. It was too small in the boob area for me and didn't have much stretch. I'd size up if you get that one

rachel10488 · July 2015

@Caligurl858 yeah, I actually feel the same so think I'd prefer long. My shower is August 29th! Early but i have to travel across the country for it so need to get it done before 3rd trimester.

@grovess3284 thanks for letting me know! I'm definitely more into the stretchy stuff now so think I'll skip over that one then
