Very light and wearable but not see-through. Your weather is not much different from ours so I suspect jeans and a jacket will be too warm, depending on when the event is. I forgot to take a photo, but it looks like RT makes a lot of good white dresses, so I thought I’d at least throw the designer idea out there. Keep us posted! I still like your lace dress a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271915 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 09:08:10 +0000 Jackson Chan 7 2271915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful party!&nbsp;<br />Just bought this one recently.

So really don't see a problem to wear any shades of whites which suits you the best!&nbsp;<br />That been said, if you would still&nbsp; rather look for&nbsp; bright whites, maybe you could try to minimize it's area -say look for styles with a deep V neckline (front or/and back),&nbsp; sleevesless or rather strappy, and you could always amp it with some neutral (gold-for warming up the bright whites or tan leather) but&nbsp; accented jewelery -like long pendants-- or accessorize with a tan(say straw?) CROSS/WAISTbag...just to split up the white area again- in more blocks of it -on your body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271471 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 06:05:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2271471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On midi length dresses—if a dress is all one piece, then shortening it could be hard; taking up the hem would not change the placement of the waist. But on dresses that have a seam at the waist, I’d think the bodice and skirt could be detached and each shortened as necessary, same as how a short-waisted non-petite might have the bodice altered to fit. But idk what I’m talking about,really. My mom has given me several midi skirts over the years that she bought for herself, then decided were too long and for reasons I don’t understand couldn’t be hemmed. (I say “don’t understand” but really, I didn’t ask ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271461 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 04:02:14 +0000 Barbara Diane 2271461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you have some great options. My thoughts- midis can be shortened and perhaps your dress could be bleached white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271451 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 02:42:29 +0000 rachylou 2271451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok.

Just thinking that sometimes a tie waist can be a helpful thing on an apple shape. I like the idea of separates. That jacket you have is great, but yes, maybe too hot for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271387 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 19:02:39 +0000 modgrl 2271387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staglaire Fash, Those dresses are beautiful! I’m very petite so I’m a bit scared of<br /> this midi length. It always falls in the wrong spot for me. I love the last one<br /> though. If it came shorter it would be perfect. </p> <p>Janet, I wasn’t exactly told that I couldn’t wear the ecru,<br /> just that it “stands out” from all the white, which I took to mean that stark<br /> white would be preferred. I guess I could wear it again, worst case scenario. But<br /> they are right… everyone else was wearing all stark white from head to toe,<br /> even the men! </p> <p>Kkards, I really like the Karen Scott! It’s so cheap, I<br /> think I’m going to order it. The nice thing is it looks like an actual adult<br /> dress rather than some of the prairie smocks out now. </p> <p>Ummlila this could work! We have a madewell in town, I might<br /> try it out. </p> <p>Delurked, I don’t know why, I’m having an allergic reaction<br /> to the ann taylor eyelet shirt dresses. I think they are not going to work for<br /> my apple shape. I gotta check out the separates. That might be the way to go…</p> <p>Suntiger, I could definitely wear separates. If it’s chilly<br /> (super unlikely in philly summer), I have a killer rag and bone white jacket<br /> and could just get white jeans.I don't have a picture of it, I'm pretty sure it's this one:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/rag-bone-nancy-fitted-cotton-blend-blazer-0400015892636.html?site_refer=NPLA_GGL_Shopping&amp;country=US&amp;currency=USD">https://www.saksfifthavenue.co.....92636.html</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271379 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 18:03:44 +0000 delurked 2271379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few more ideas. Nic + Zoe has items in "paper white" which seem to contain a smidge more yellow in the white. That would work if you wanted to do a skirt/top/jacket or sweater. Also, Macys has a decent amount of white dresses. And there's a couple Lucky dresses that are lower in stock availability, but could probably be found on another website.&nbsp; </p> <p>These are just some ideas. Some of the Nic + Zoe comes in petites. Other of the dresses that would be too short on me might work for you in length without it actually being a petite size.</p> <p>Though I personally see nothing wrong with wearing what you already have. Which is in fact white enough for us here on the forum.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271378 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 18:02:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 2271378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well it looks white to me and you look very pretty in it.Did anyone tell the man standing behind you in the photograph that his shorts weren’t white enough l wonder?Hope you find a dress you love.l always fancy white in the summer but it doesnt really do me any favours so l d be an ecru girl as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271372 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 17:33:48 +0000 Anonymous 2271372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that dress, but "not white enough"???

Wow, that is awfully picky to reject shades of white as not white enough. I’ve never found a white dress that works for me, but I’ve been after a casual one for years with no luck. Nordstrom had a few when I was there yesterday but I didn’t pay much attention because the details weren’t right for me. I’ll keep my eyes open for you. It sounds like a fun event! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-find-a-white-dress#post-2271347 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 16:01:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2271347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes!
