My Dgd is in a tizz, as her and friends shared their outfits for their friends’ Wedding this weekend and one commented that my Gd’s was “too white”…
It’s pale lemon (actually much brighter than the pic) with flowers and foliage.
I’ve told Dgd it’s perfect for a summer wedding but I want to know what you think…..

It looks absolutely fine to me and is appropriate for the occasion. Ignore all the negativity. It is definitely no threat to the bride!

I think it's fine, a lovely dress (that doesn't break the rule of not wearing white or ivory, as it's lemon and flowered).

I think it looks lovely very suitable.

Your granddaughter looks lovely in her beautiful dress. She is the perfect wedding guest.

Looks fine to me. Is not white and is patterned. Can’t see any issues at all.
I hope she enjoys the day.

I think it is going to be warm over the weekend so this pretty, cool dress is ideal. I hope your GD has a lovely time.

I think maybe the ‘friend’ is slightly green eyed, it looks perfect Dolly

Thank you everyone.
I’ve shown her all your replies and told her to say that her Grandma and all her friends think the dress is perfect for a summer wedding, if her friend mentions it again.
She says Thankyou, to all the Gransnetters. ❤️

There is always one person who will find fault! I bet their real reason is that they think she might look better than them. These days the bride doesn't always wear white anyway. Hope she enjoys.

Beautiful dress

A lovely dress, and perfect fit …. Just right.

What an attractive young woman she is.

Yes, Jaxjacky, I think you’re right.
