I would wear it.  If any guest can show up the bride at a wedding, I'd be shocked.  And IF so, the offended bride must be use to it in her everyday life.  What can you say?....

I would agree with those who think it looks too bridal.  And the sheer hem is a little racy (to wear to a wedding, IMO) to boot.  Very pretty though!

I'd go with the black dress.  That looks lovely too (although the image is so small I can't see the details).

I would not wear the white one, but I also wonder about the length of the under dress.Pictures can be deceiving, so can't tell how short it is.

If it is real short, you may be yanking it down OR not notice it has crept up shorter

Nothing worse than dressing up for a wedding and fighting with you dress all day. Been there.

I'd like to wear this dress to wedding in June.  Do you think it would be appropriate.  It's ivory and I don't want to compete with the bride.  But it's such a pretty dress!

IMO it's a bit too bride-ish to be worn as a guest, I think just since you asked you are doubtful, save it for something else.

It's beautiful

Love the dress! I think rules on what can be worn to weddings have seriously relaxed in the last twenty years. I would wear it, but pair it with some very colorful heels and jewelry. Have fun!

Personally, I do not at all like dresses styled like this - lining stopping and lace continuing.  I just do not like t his look.  I'd not buy a dress like this so no I wouldn't be wearing a dress styled liek this.

As well, I wold not wear any shade of ivory, cream, etc to a wedding unless I was the bride.

Sorry, but I agree with a lot of the folks here.  Georgeous dress but not appropriate (I feel) for someone else's wedding.

Lots of different opinions on this OP.  I vote no.  It looks too much like a wedding dress.   No one will confuse you with the bride (unless you wear a veil ), but still it just doesn't look right IMO.

The dress is beautiful.  Just give some thought to wearing white and lace to a someone else's wedding.

The dress is very pretty; however, I don't think it's appropriate for a wedding. First, I would not wear any hue of white or ivory because I feel those shades should be reserved for the bride only.  I also think that the length of the lining or whatever the underpinning is should be several inches longer.  That length is going to be too close for comfort if you're sitting down.  

Since you found this lovely dress, I am sure you can find another one - hopefully in a color - and save this one for a different sort of celebration.
