It literally comes in PINK! Girl could have gotten the same dress in a different color

u/Kat_GotYourTongue Jun 29 '25

Right?!? Like, my hoe, why didn’t you just get the undoubtedly not-white one???

u/technicolortiddies Jun 29 '25

Cackling at “my hoe.” My sister in Christ My hoe in the streets.

I use “my sibling in chaos” when addressing my nonbinary friend.

u/sirutinwin Jun 29 '25

as a nonbinary person, I'd be honored

u/I-am-Chubbasaurus Jun 29 '25

Oo oo, I love that!

u/technicolortiddies Jun 29 '25

OMG that’s perfect. I’m stealing it for everyone I know! Brilliant!

That’s so endearingly brutal

MY HOE oh lord I need to steal

u/nvmenotfound Jun 30 '25

my hoe 😆 how have i not seen this used before?!

u/TrashPandaNotACat Jun 29 '25

And in pink it's really cute

u/SilverFringeBoots Jun 29 '25

Right?!?!? The pink is adorable

u/chairUrchin Jun 30 '25

To be fair, the photos linked look wayyy more yellow. I’d buy that dress and be pissed when I got it in the mail. Then choose NOT to wear it, because you know… common courtesy/sense.

u/sabisayss Jun 30 '25

But it’s so clear that the picture in this thread has been edited. Both the contrasts and whiteness have been messed with so I’m willing to bet it looked more like the linked photos IRL than the photo posted here 🙈 Not saying it wouldn’t have been too close to white for some people, but where I’m from it would’ve easily passed as acceptable 😅

2

u/mintardent Jun 30 '25

No. The ad photos are like disposable camera quality. it seems much more likely to be accurate here than on the listing.

1

u/sabisayss Jun 30 '25

But you can easily see that the colours in this photo have been manipulated in editing? Lower contrast or more shadows in the back and then upping the whiteness and/or brightness for the front. Which would make the dress lighter than it is IRL. There are also people on this thread who own the dress who says it’s more yellow IRL 🙈

u/Limerence1976 Jun 29 '25

And that would have matched the brides wedding colors too!

16

u/TGin-the-goldy Jun 29 '25

Unless it was the shade the bridesmaids were wearing because that style is easily a bridesmaid’s dress.

18

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths Jun 29 '25

It's crazy, but both colors look absolutely awful the way the site has photographed and presented them. It looks like something you'd get off Temu for $4.75. The dress actually on the person in OP's photo looks so much better. This brand is really shooting themselves in the foot by having such terrible product photos.

u/marshmallowblaste Jun 30 '25

For real! It looks so good in the lady in the pic. I would not expect that based off the advertisement

u/curlykale00 Jun 29 '25

Okay, but in those pictures it looks appropriate for a wedding, in my opinion. I could imagine really loving it in those pictures, ordering it and when it arrives and looks white in certain lighting, refusing to believe my eyes and trying to make it work somehow. I know, I am doing the most her to defend her! But maybe she really only has lighting at home where it looks yellow and only noticed when she arrived at the wedding that it does not look like that everywhere?

u/staunch_character Jun 29 '25

Then wear a very obviously NOT white shawl or scarf or thin jacket over top.

3

u/klovasos Jun 30 '25

This woman did exactly that and judging from the comments it didn't matter at all

4

u/Sapiophile23 Jun 29 '25

That's my first thought too. A beaded bolero or lacy shawl, even in that horrid color. That shade gives serious ick.

2

u/TateAcolyte Jun 30 '25 edited Jun 30 '25

Yeah something tasteful like this would do the trick.

1

u/twaggle Jun 30 '25

Like a black purse ? 😂

6

u/vbtps Jun 30 '25

to be fair, i own this same dress and it looks very much yellow in all my photos wearing it

3

u/whorledstar Jun 29 '25

There’s a video of it outdoors in natural lighting where it definitely looks more white than yellow

29

u/Acceptable_Error_001 Jun 29 '25

It's not yellow. It's buttercream.

u/its_not_you_its_ye Jun 29 '25

That makes the decorative lacework even more impressive. Takes a talented baker to pull that off.

u/Nani_700 Jun 29 '25

You're saying she wore the woman's wedding cake??

3

u/Pxnda_Cakes Jun 30 '25

She IS the wedding cake.

17

u/sophwestern Jun 29 '25

It looks yellow imo but I get why people think it’s too close to white. But it is yellow idk

2

u/doodle_hoodie Jun 30 '25

Gun to my head it’s got a yellow in it. But my first reaction was lesbian wedding…

1

u/FlowerFaerie13 Jun 30 '25

I mean yeah, it's yellow, but it's such a pale yellow that it looks closer to like, cream or ivory which is probably too close to white for anybody that isn't the bride.

18

u/haydenhendry Jun 29 '25

What do you mean “turns out” it is clearly yellow anyone with eyes looking at the photo can see that

3

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 Jun 30 '25

I thought I was taking crazy pills or something. I didn't even know what the problem was supposed to be until I got to the comments that claim "don't wear white" apparently means don't wear anything lighter colored at all. If you don't want people to wear shades of any color you should be more specific

12

u/somtambooplara Jun 29 '25

Right?? I don’t get why people are so incensed. Even without looking at the link to the dress where it is even more yellow, this is a beautiful pale yellow dress and is not a wedding dress style at all. This argument is pathetic.

She should be happy someone went out of their way to attend her narcissistic attention seeking self love fest and stop making everything about herself.

2

u/MyInnerFatChild Jun 29 '25

The non-petite one comes in even more colors than yellow/pink. 

2

u/Accomplished_worrier Jun 29 '25

AND if you take the regular fit insteaf of petite, you get light blue, dark blue, lilac and pink as options, in addition to the non suitable yellow and a bright red! 

2

u/refusestopoop Jun 30 '25

With this, I defend her. (her decision, not the outcome.) I 100% could see myself ordering that yellow dress & thinking nothing of it. It arrives, try it on, all good in the indoor yellow lighting in your house. Get ready, head to wedding. Step out into bright natural lighting & oh shit.

2

u/spelunker93 Jun 30 '25

So it really was the lighting that made it look more white than yellow. It doesn’t seem like this was intentional then

6

u/ThatShoe_On_The_road Jun 29 '25

Might be yellow. But its not yellow enough...

1

u/Spiffy_Tiffyy Jun 30 '25

Thank goodness for the link bc while it is tacky I love the dress.

1

u/prongslover77 Jun 30 '25

Ohhh it’s so cute in pink and I have multiple weddings coming up as a guest. I may be tempted to get this.

1

u/mashtato Jun 30 '25

It looks like it's white but with yellowish lighting.

1

u/put_it_in_the_air Jun 30 '25

The black purse is certainly a fashion crime all on its own.

u/Nakenochny Jun 30 '25

Only one of the five comments mentioning weddings is actually cautioning people against wearing it. Yikes.
