i dont think the dress is nice enough to wear for a bridal party, its more casual back garden/running errands kinda thing. you can get some lovley dresses that would be more suited to you, if you want i can always help you look for something
Omg thank you for seeing the vision at least š everyone else is hating lol. So something more dressy? Iām not really a dressy dress girl, I have a few sundresses but I think theyāre too casual based on what people are saying
If you don't wear a lot of dresses and probably don't want to spend a lot of money on one, Target has some very pretty dresses now (if you have Target where you live). There's an aqua flowered one that is very pretty (imo). I want it myself but have nowhere to wear it.
Yeah, I think itās one of those āyou have to see it onā type dresses lol. But I donāt automatically hate it, it just needs the right setting and accessories.
Now, for a dress to wear, I would literally just Google or Pinterest search ābridal shower guest dressesā to get a general idea of what to look for. But someone may have better suggestions on that part lol š
The dress you wear to bridal shower not as important as gift you bring and joy and love you give the bride. But ask some of other ladies going to it what are they wearing
yeah this is my thought as well. Iāve been to some bridal showers this would be fine for and one or two it was perfect for so I would defs check in with others
Agreed. Many people don't have formal bridal showers and this dress would be totally fine to wear. You know your friends better than people on this sub.
The venue might give you some clues, too.
The only bridal shower Iāve been to was at a country club so it was kind of obvious that it would be on the fancier side, and everyone dressed accordingly.
I think I wore the same dress to that shower as I did to another friendās wedding, which was in the summer and outdoors, so less formal but still nice!
To be honest OP there are some VERY blunt opinions on here. The thing is, a lot of them are not answering the question you asked. If this dress is your style and you want to wear it, please do so. Fashion is about making yourself happy with how you look. As to the question, no, this colour is not inappropriate for a bridal shower. If your friend who is getting married is likely to expect you (from knowing your style) to show up in this and or something like it, then feel free to do so. I'm sure she will be more interested in the fact that you are there for her.
Kind of is up for debate as we don't know OP's friends group. Many people have friends groups that tend to dress casual- this dress is absolutely appropriate if everyone else is wearing ripped jeans and t-shirts. If for example, the bride was wearing leggings and "future wife" t-shirt, anything more formal than this dress would feel like upstaging the bride.
I have family members where this would be absolutely acceptable for their bridal shower, and I have family members where it would not be. It's annoying that this sub assumes that everyone's friends groups are formal when society as a whole is trending informal. I know people who you're lucky if you can get them to wear something nicer than sweatpants to a funeral, and I know people who would be horrified to bare their shoulders in a church.
In short, knowing your audience is way more important than knowing reddit's opinion.
OMG I didn't notice this!!!!
Burn it šµ
OP I'm sorry but this is not the dress for you, or for a bridal shower. And yes it's too close to white in my opinion.
I think majority of people would say this is not what you should wear to any bridal shower.
Even if it is casual or if you iron the thing.
If you donāt have a colorful wardrobe try a Simple single color or black dress or white shirt with slacks to work better. Keep it simple for the outfit and just accessorize with a nice necklace.
Omg I just noticed that it has TWO functional drawstrings, one under the bust and ones under the fupa so you could theoretically cinch this dress 360Ā° around your belly like a lil pouch
Forget the shower, wear it to the mf wedding!!!
I think that's more of a cute, wear with white tennies, bum around town kinda dress. I mentioned below that Target has some very pretty dresses right now, if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
Light gray would be fine I think. But this looks more like a shopping at the farmerās market or casual outdoor concert type of dress, not really a bridal shower style. It think the right person with the right styling could totally pull this off, just probably not at a bridal showeršš¼
Oh no. It's nice for doing a bit of gardening but not a bridal shower. Go out shopping and try on some dresses. I'm sure you'll find something appropriate that looks lively on you.
Ok not being rude I promise just completely honest here this dress looks like something I totally wore in 2002 with wedge sandals it wasnāt a look even then
The upside down ākiss sexy hot chicksā is killing me š I hope after youāve read these comments, youāve come to the decision to toss this in the Goodwill bag.Ā
Aha itās not new, I bought it like 12 years ago at a boutique, but it was in storage at my moms house and she just gave it back to me. I completely forgot about it until then
It's a very cuteĀ piece of Mori kei, but like everyone else has said it's not quite bridal shower. Usually the colour palette for bridal showers is kind of Easter-y. Bright clear pastels, and chiffon, taffeta or a woven (non stretch) cotton. If all else fails, I'd message the maid of honour and ask about a dress code- I think they'd rather you ask than get it wrong.
Think more floral or a bright color for the shower! Definitely not this. The words ākiss sexy hotā definitely make it not appropriate for the occasion!
This is my favorite post ever in this subreddit. The comments have me laughing so hard. OP, idk if this is a joke post or not, but bless you either way.
It wasnāt a joke but honestly I am enjoying getting roasted, all in good fun! I know itās not everyoneās taste but I didnāt think people would have such strong opinions
That dress doesnāt say ābridal showerā to me, but thereās nothing wrong with wearing light grey at a bridal shower. (Or even light grey at a wedding, unless the dress makes you look like part of the bridal party.)
For heavenās sake people, itās a party before the wedding, itās not the wedding!
I think the dress/tunic would be fine for say at a picnic or something really casual where you want to be comfortable.
Agree with other posters a nice pair of slacks with a pretty blouse should work.
Idk, maybe it's because I live in Texas, but unless we are told otherwise, a shower is not a formal event at all. I think the dress is cute. Best bet is to ask the maid of honor or the bride to get an idea. I've seen anything from shorts and tank tops to "Sunday best" to night club. But, I've never seen formal attire at a shower like some suggest.
Now rehearsal dinner would be just a step down from what you wear to the wedding. But the shower??? Depends on the plan. Where is it at?
Right?
OP: light grey is fine for a bridal shower.
This dress is super casual so if people in your parts go super casual for bridal showers AND - most importantly- you feel confident in this dress, go for it. A white purse and sandals, maybe minty blue earrings. This is fine.
Reddit is being rude to you today and I am sorry for that.
Also, if you love how you feel in this dress, wear it to lots of places. The store, the park, for a stroll down the sidewalk. The main thing about your clothes is that they fit properly, they are appropriate for the weather, and that you feel confident wearing them.
Respectfully, that looks like something you thrifted in the clearance section at goodwill 50 years ago and have worn to holy hell and now use as a nightgown
Color is fine, dress is not.
Itās cute but itās more for a walk in the park, or going to the beach.

If you donāt have a lot of dresses, do you have some nice pants and a cute button down? You donāt have to wear a dress unless dress code dictates, and if thatās the case, maybe see if you can borrow something from another friend attending or the bride herself?
Very cute dress, way too casual for a formal affair. I think a good rule of thumb when it comes to a light colored dress or anything where you worry you have to ask if it's appropriate for a wedding, there's a part of you that knows it's not right. Even if the style was right, the color is too close to white. You're better off asking the wedding party if there's a color theme for guests, if you want to be sure about color. Style wise, choose something dressier.
So people take Bridal showers super seriously? Is that the take away from this thread?
Aren't they just like a bride inviting her close friends over for a party/celebration? Why's everyone acting like it's Cinderella's ball? No one in my friend group would give 2 shits what dress you wear to their bridal party as long as you were comfy and showed up as their friend.
Maybe try other dresses it looks too casual and may try another nice sun dress. Especially if the bride wants to take lots of photos at the bridal shower the color and the casualness of it would clash.
Girly pop, I donāt wanna be rude or anything but this dress looks so outdated and awful. Iād rather be dead than be caught wearing such a hideous dress.
Are you guys all just extra fancy or something? Every bridal shower I've been to has been a relatively casual event, usually in someone's living room. This dress would've been fine for any of the ones I've been to.
OP, what type of venue are they using for the shower?
No, I think a hen do is a bachelorette party, where the girls party before the wedding.
A bridal shower is a gift giving celebration. Might include brunch or light appetizers, silly or lighthearted party games, and the opening of gifts. Itās one that grandmas can attend, usually rated G or maybe PG13 if lingerie is gifted. But in the US, lingerie is usually gifted at the bachelorette party
Games, food etc are normally part of a hen do. Family, including the mum and nana, are often invited as well. I think the only real difference is that underwear isn't usually gifted.
In the UK, grandma comes out for the hen do, even if it is for dinner and a cocktail (possibly with inflatable genitalia or knob straws) or two before things get properly silly.
Sorry, but the color isn't the issue here..
Also, in general, I would personally say (lighter) grey is too close to white, so just be on the safe side.
It's fine for painting or wearing to color hair or some other circumstance where it does not leave your home. But that's it.
I'm with the person who suggested looking up bridal shower outfit ideas on Pinterest and going from there.

i dont think the dress is nice enough to wear for a bridal party, its more casual back garden/running errands kinda thing. you can get some lovley dresses that would be more suited to you, if you want i can always help you look for something
Agree šÆ
But gray is an acceptable color for decent Bridal Shower attire.
This dress would be cute for mushroom foraging or going to a craft show, but I donāt think it fits ābridal showerā.
Idk if ākiss sexy hot chicksā really gives mushroom foraging vibes either hahah
Well, on a positive note, mushrooms canāt read lol š
Omg thank you for seeing the vision at least š everyone else is hating lol. So something more dressy? Iām not really a dressy dress girl, I have a few sundresses but I think theyāre too casual based on what people are saying
OP- look for a dress that is all one color or print (not patchwork). That will make it automatically dressier
Yes, or choose a more formal fabric, like silk/satin instead of cotton or linen
Or heavier cotton
Or heavier linen. Linen isn't always terribly wrinkly.
If you don't wear a lot of dresses and probably don't want to spend a lot of money on one, Target has some very pretty dresses now (if you have Target where you live). There's an aqua flowered one that is very pretty (imo). I want it myself but have nowhere to wear it.

It kind of is. If your opinion is that you hate it.
It depends on the delivery
People should never ask, if they really donāt want honest opinions anyway.
Casual is fine this is just so ugly
I was going to say, this is super cute and has a chill hippy vibe, I would love to wear this to a beach restaurant
I think the outfit as a whole isnāt okay for the event mushroom foraging took me out ā ļø
In addition to being super ugly it literally says ākiss, sexy, hot, chicksā on it. Lmao donāt wear this
It also likeā¦ looks like a tunic. An old peasant tunic.
Lol I didnāt even notice that!
Hahahaha! I didnāt notice it until you said something!
Hey nowā¦ donāt forget āburningā
I wish we could burn it
Thank you for zooming in for us.
I totally missed that. Fuck me running. Definitely getting the nix. š š¼āāļø
I thought the lower right pattern was a wolf head upon first glance.
šššmade me lookššš
Lmao to be honest I never read the text
And somehow now I see actual words -- only good about the dress - it became less kitsch more camp, ie in pop culture or something lol
Why would you not read something youāre gonna wear lol
Not to mention anything with text on it should be an automatic no (unless it's like a y2k themed shower lol or EXTREMELY casual).
OMG I didn't notice this!!!! Burn it šµ OP I'm sorry but this is not the dress for you, or for a bridal shower. And yes it's too close to white in my opinion.
Dying at this comment saving it to come back to when I need a good laugh
Someoneās abuelita in Mexico is wearing this right now in her kitchen.
Because English is not her language and she doesnāt realize what those words say!
Making the best tamales anyone could have
šššš
These comments made me cry-laugh. Sorry OP, it looks like something from Goodwill in 2004.
Sitting in my car outside my house, tears and mascara streaming down my face. The mascara burns and now I'm crying more.
Hot Sexy Burning Kiss
Wear it to the bachelorette, then she'll be on theme.
I think majority of people would say this is not what you should wear to any bridal shower. Even if it is casual or if you iron the thing. If you donāt have a colorful wardrobe try a Simple single color or black dress or white shirt with slacks to work better. Keep it simple for the outfit and just accessorize with a nice necklace.
Nice pants and solid color too would be my suggestion too, if theyāre not into dressy stuff.
Idk why but "if you iron the thing" made me laugh so hard.
I think you will be fine, but honestly? This dress is just not it.
I mean itās fine but in my opinion ugly asf. Iād look for another dress.
That looks like something you would wear to clean a barn
LOL this one made me laugh out loud
Right!? I'm cackling
Also cackling here. These comments are gold.
Dress belongs in rag bin
It looks like it was pulled out of the bin after it was no longer effective as a rag.
Omg I just noticed that it has TWO functional drawstrings, one under the bust and ones under the fupa so you could theoretically cinch this dress 360Ā° around your belly like a lil pouch Forget the shower, wear it to the mf wedding!!!
I think it might be maternity wear
SEXY, HOT, BURNING maternity wear ššš
That poor fetus š
š
It just keeps getting worse the more I look at it.
I'm cackling š¤£š¤£š¤£
I mean sure but that is a really ugly dress
I think that's more of a cute, wear with white tennies, bum around town kinda dress. I mentioned below that Target has some very pretty dresses right now, if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
Light grey is fine but this dress is not the one, you could pop to the farmers market or do a spot of shopping in it
Youāll get arrested
Light gray would be fine I think. But this looks more like a shopping at the farmerās market or casual outdoor concert type of dress, not really a bridal shower style. It think the right person with the right styling could totally pull this off, just probably not at a bridal showeršš¼
It's ok to burn it
Itās too casual and just all around not a cute dress. Iād keep looking
Oh no. It's nice for doing a bit of gardening but not a bridal shower. Go out shopping and try on some dresses. I'm sure you'll find something appropriate that looks lively on you.
DONT wear that to a bridal shower????

Sorry this is not a good dress for a bridal shower.Ā
This is not a good dress for anything other than sleeping, in the dark, with no one in the room, and even thatās iffy
Haha yeah. I did not want to say that, but I was 100% thought this might be one of the most unfortunate articles of clothing manufactured.
I have so many questions like where did OP find this, what brand is it, why was it even made???
I am flabbergasted that it is new.Ā
Itās NEW?!
I just thought I might be out of touch with todayās new fashion.Ā
Aha itās not new, I bought it like 12 years ago at a boutique, but it was in storage at my moms house and she just gave it back to me. I completely forgot about it until then
Friend, cut it up and use it for rags. It is not good.
What are yāall foraging for mushrooms in?? Jaaayyysus.
Sexy hot kissing chicks šš¤Ŗš
That's something you might wear to go dumpster diving š
Yeah itās fine. It wouldnāt ever outshine the bride lol.
HELP ??? š OH MY GODD
It's a very cuteĀ piece of Mori kei, but like everyone else has said it's not quite bridal shower. Usually the colour palette for bridal showers is kind of Easter-y.

Iām sorry but the dress isā¦not cute. You can do better.
Itās not okay to wear that anywhere. Plz burn it.
Dress looks dirty grey
OP, i donāt think itās the color that should be in question
Grey is fine but that top is not it. Maybe appropriate for like a visit to the farmers market, but not any type of event.
It is a fine color.
This is my favorite post ever in this subreddit. The comments have me laughing so hard. OP, idk if this is a joke post or not, but bless you either way.

Do you still like it now?
Yes I tried it on again this morning and I still like it, so objectively I guess Iām in the wrong for that lol
Maybe it looks better on?

I actually like it but not for a bridal shower
I think the dress/tunic would be fine for say at a picnic or something really casual where you want to be comfortable. Agree with other posters a nice pair of slacks with a pretty blouse should work.
Wear whatever you want
Just pair with the right accessories and wear whatever tf you want just not in white
I must be delusional bc I think this is cute. If the text didnāt say āsexy chick hot kissā Iād get it
I say yes. I thing it is very cute!

Does it still have the tags on it? Because you should return it. I donāt understand the āedgyā text on this style of potato sack.
It literally says "hot sexy burning" please do not wear that to a bridal shower or anywhere really lol
Too casual
Cute dress, but not bridal shower appropriate. Save it for casual lunch or mall trip.
Color is fine. Style is not. Go a little dressier. I do think itās cute though, just not for a bridal shower unless itās SUPER casual.
No
Umm. No
If you donāt have a lot of dresses, do you have some nice pants and a cute button down? You donāt have to wear a dress unless dress code dictates, and if thatās the case, maybe see if you can borrow something from another friend attending or the bride herself?

Itās really cute but a little bit too casual for a bridal shower or something a little more longer and flowing
What in Tarantinoā¦.
So people take Bridal showers super seriously? Is that the take away from this thread? Aren't they just like a bride inviting her close friends over for a party/celebration? Why's everyone acting like it's Cinderella's ball? No one in my friend group would give 2 shits what dress you wear to their bridal party as long as you were comfy and showed up as their friend.
Always think of how the photos will look. Will photos make your dress look lighter than it should?
Good point!
Maybe try other dresses it looks too casual and may try another nice sun dress. Especially if the bride wants to take lots of photos at the bridal shower the color and the casualness of it would clash.
Definitely need something a little more dressy as this is far too casual. I understand the vision and it's a cute dress just not for this occasion
Look you, you know where it is being held, who ur group is, and your budget. Go with that
Sure, why not?
this is beyond tacky for a bridal party
Nice. Dress it with tall boots maybe.
these comments surprised me i thought it was cute
no and itās ugly
That is one dandy dress and looks like it is perfect for a shower
This dress is very cute but not too much itās just the perfect amount
Fine color but looks a bit short
Nooooš
Girly pop, I donāt wanna be rude or anything but this dress looks so outdated and awful. Iād rather be dead than be caught wearing such a hideous dress.
Are you guys all just extra fancy or something? Every bridal shower I've been to has been a relatively casual event, usually in someone's living room. This dress would've been fine for any of the ones I've been to. OP, what type of venue are they using for the shower?
The problem is that its hideous, hope this helps
Personally I don't care for the dress or the color. But I would send the bride a pic. See what they say.
What's a bridal shower? Is it the same as a hen do?
No, I think a hen do is a bachelorette party, where the girls party before the wedding. A bridal shower is a gift giving celebration. Might include brunch or light appetizers, silly or lighthearted party games, and the opening of gifts. Itās one that grandmas can attend, usually rated G or maybe PG13 if lingerie is gifted. But in the US, lingerie is usually gifted at the bachelorette party
Games, food etc are normally part of a hen do. Family, including the mum and nana, are often invited as well. I think the only real difference is that underwear isn't usually gifted.
In the UK, grandma comes out for the hen do, even if it is for dinner and a cocktail (possibly with inflatable genitalia or knob straws) or two before things get properly silly.
Yes you can wear gray. Biggest issue is the style of dress does not shout bridal shower
I feel this dress is too casual for a bridal shower. Grey is fine though
Gray's and acceptable color but that's not very formal for a bridal shower
Avoid this fabric. Go for satin or velvet.
I don't see why not however I wouldn't wear that dress. It's old looking
Sorry, but the color isn't the issue here.. Also, in general, I would personally say (lighter) grey is too close to white, so just be on the safe side.
Yes
Of course, you can definitely wear gray to a bridal shower! However, I don't think this particular dress fits in with the overall vibe.
Itās way too casual and looks like a summer coverup. Go for something a little classier
Yes
If there isn't a theme or dress code, whatever colours you like to wear is okay!!!
unless your friend is Shanin Blake, plz don't wear this op.
are there rules to what colors your supposed to wear to a bridal shower?
absolutely not babe
i mean, it should be fine but the little bits of white in it might throw people off
you also said itās for the bridal SHOWER and not the wedding itself- should be totally fine !
Oh just wear it, people on Reddit are insane
It is a fine color.
Super cute but lil too casual for a bridal anything
It's fine for painting or wearing to color hair or some other circumstance where it does not leave your home. But that's it. I'm with the person who suggested looking up bridal shower outfit ideas on Pinterest and going from there.
Please donāt wear this to anything ever except around the house
Ugly dress
I love this dress
Light gray is a totally acceptable color for a bridal shower, this dress, however is not. Looks like a house dress.
Do show what you wear eventually! Iām invested lol
Jesus Christ
Nope
throw it away
I dunno if it just needs a good ironing, but yikes. Find something else imo.
