I have another wedding to go to, this one is a more informal, fire hall wedding. I don't want to go out and buy a new outfit and I was wondering whether I could wear a top I bought on Amazon a while back, I've never worn it because I never had anywhere to wear it. It's a delicate gauzy material so I can't wear it to work, it would be ruined, and I never dress up to hang out with friends. This is the shirt:

it says it is white but it's actually more of a cream color in person. Anyway, is it ok for a woman to wear a white shirt to a wedding? I feel like it's ok because it's a blouse, not a dress. I was thinking about wearing the shirt with a black maxi skirt or black dress pants.
Maybe I should have said "don't wear something that could be mistaken for the bride's attire." I would say wearing head-to-toe white is probably a faux pas, whether it's a dress or a pant suit. But wearing a white blouse, or jacket, or skirt is probably fine as long as white is not the overwhelming color of your outfit.The problem I have is that you don't know what the bride is wearing. "mistaken for a wedding dress" is a big category if the bride isn't wearing a "typical" wedding dress. My new husband's sister wore a white suit to my wedding and I definitely noticed. Mainly because I had almost chosen a suit style dress (It was a thing at the time, available in bridal shops, usually with older brides) that was off white and hers was stark white. It was winter and she would have been whiter than me, which seems odd to me. I changed my mind and wore a long white bridal gown so she was off the hook, but she had no idea we were almost so similar. I had a really laid back wedding and don't think anyone could call me a bridezilla. I'm not a clothes person and rarely notice what people wear, but I noticed that. (I think the only place I have ever commented to ANYONE is here on the DIS though.)
OP, if you have some sort of scarf or throw to add some color up top I think it would be fine.

Then people notice the most mundane things and attribute them to something they aren't.I wasn't referring to pant suits. ??? I was saying thinking white is okay because it's not bridal style still might not differentiate you from the bride.
Obviously not all brides even choose to wear white or off white, but it's kind of a general rule not to look more bridal than the bride. Since you don't know what the bride is wearing, avoiding plain white is a way to do that. The blouse OP showed is lovely, but if she has a closeup with the bride it will show as white. Bride could have a v neck and look similar. My point is was that I have no big fashion sense or bridezilla instincts and I noticed. It wasn't a big deal and I would never say anything short of these kind of anonymous conversations because I have no interest in fashion whatsoever, but I noticed.
Right fight all you want.Then people notice the most mundane things and attribute them to something they aren't.

That’s a pretty top! I’d probably wear it with the skirt and a pretty necklace. Have fun!I have another wedding to go to, this one is a more informal, fire hall wedding.

Enquiring minds want to know: Is it for a funeral or a wedding?I'll admit it. I ordered one in red.
lol ok..wasn't talking about the OP, was talking about your comment but nice evasion of my comment- no need for a fight at all my goodness you apparently cannot have a conversation without thinking someone is out to get you. I'll remember that for the futureRight fight all you want.
The OP asked the question because she wanted to know what people would think.
