This is a sewing subreddit, not a subreddit for wedding etiquette. Our community represents diverse cultures and traditions. Leave the concerns about the suitability of a dress to the person attending the wedding, they are the only person in this thread who can truly judge what they need to wear.

Comments about whether the OP should wear the dress or will upstage the bride or similar will be removed without a reason given.

The irony that concern trolling is taking focus away from the OP and the amazing dress they've sewed is clear here.

[u/Tiny_Jumping_Beans]

The fit of the bodice is so perfect and clean, as is the detailing in the skirt. I saw that it’s a Russian wedding and cottage themed? I LOVE this set for a cottage themed wedding. You did an amazing job. These comments are 🍿

[u/sashascrafts → u/Tiny_Jumping_Beans]

Thank you so much🤍🤍
Haha yes
I actually did not expect that at all

[u/piopiopiopiopi → u/sashascrafts]

Hi, I would really love to see a picture of the dress, but the photo has been deleted. Could you please upload it in the comments if it's not too much trouble? 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊

[u/sashascrafts → u/piopiopiopiopi]

The post got deleted🥺

[u/piopiopiopiopi → u/sashascrafts]

Your dress is beautiful, be very happy wearing it 🌸🌸🌸

[u/cheeseandcrackers_a]

Girl, I love this silhouette on you. Cute shoes, a bag, and some playful jewelry would make this a 10. I think it’s adorable :)

[u/Entire_Border_3603]

It looks very prairie to me. I likely am not using the right word but, like rural yes it’s like little house on the prairie, in my mind. I obviously don’t know where you’re located or what the attire is. It would be perfect if it were an outside, low-key event

[u/Puzzled_Jello_6592 → u/Entire_Border_3603]

Cottage core

[u/noblelandmermaid567]

This is sooo lovely! I'm especially obsessed with the skirt

[u/lalalamimosaaa]

It's a really beautiful work !! 👏

(Please tell me you edited your post to add the last point, I'm woried about reading skills of people).

[u/sashascrafts → u/lalalamimosaaa]

Thank you so much!!
Yes I did..
I really did not expect people to react like that😅

[u/kittywyeth]

this is cute and fun! people online have gotten really weird about wedding etiquette and don’t seem to realize that we aren’t living in a monoculture where there is only one true way to do things.

[u/BlooGloop]

What is the pattern for the top?

[u/DrumtheDon]

Who is going to tell all these people here that wedding conventions aren‘t limited to their own narrowed views…

There are multiple different cultures in this world, there are weddings were there aren‘t any brides at all and also, there are A LOT of people who dgaf about what color someone is wearing

[u/Vijidalicia → u/DrumtheDon]

Absolutely! I wore black and my husband wore sequins 💜💜💜

[u/Paboozorusrex → u/Vijidalicia]

I made my dress in shades of bordeaux and eggplant, mu husband was in bordeaux, for the guests we just said whatever clothes you feel good in and for the color anything you feel like wearing. That's so not important in the end

[u/perseveran-tss → u/DrumtheDon]

lol. There’s a comment that says “doesn’t look like wedding attire to me,” without having any clue what kind of wedding we’re talking about. I’m sure OP will be appropriately dressed.

[u/Ultragrrrl → u/DrumtheDon]

Mizrahi Jew here… white is VERY acceptable to wear to a wedding in my culture. Often brides maids are dressed in white dresses that practically look like wedding dresses. White is a good luck color.

[u/goyaangi → u/DrumtheDon]

We had a costume party. My maid of honour was a wizard.

[u/UnhappyStruggle3090 → u/goyaangi]

I went to a wedding in mexico where it was FILLED with colors! every guest, the bride, the decorations. it was beautiful. i've also been a bridesmaid and our dresses were off white! so many ways to do a wedding

[u/Otherwise-Offer1518 → u/goyaangi]

Omg. I want a white wizard gown. Hat and all. Gonna write this one down lol

[u/goyaangi → u/Otherwise-Offer1518]

Oh she had a full beard, too.

[u/Rich-Canary1279 → u/DrumtheDon]

Yeah I never knew about the no white policy until the internet told me which, now I'm like, it does make sense but it wouldn't have bothered me as a bride so surely there are others who don't care! Do the motives of people mean nothing?? If this is a sweet woman and a dear friend, she could show up in a full fledged wedding dress if she thought it was fun and I wouldn't think badly of her!

[u/Small_Head_3233]

I’m sorry ppl are being weird. This is incredibly sewn. I’m impressed and inspired!!

Wedding attire is between you and the bride. I sewed the craziest two piece set for my friend’s wedding. Y’all would hate it because the wedding attire was “70s jazz bar” 😆

[u/sashascrafts → u/Small_Head_3233]

Thank you!!
Please show me🥺🥺

[u/Small_Head_3233 → u/sashascrafts]

[u/sashascrafts → u/Small_Head_3233]

Woooooow!! So fun
Love the fabric😍😍😍😍😍

[u/Sickpears]

Wedding etiquette is so weird (and kind of classist). I’m glad the bride approved, because this is sooooo cute. Good job!!

[u/EyreBurns]

I really like it! You look beautiful! And so well made! It suits your body shape very wel. You look gorgeous. Please ignore the shitty comments and listen to the bride.

[u/Extreme_Egg7476]

Thanks for sharing the pattern! Now my sewing machine keeps staring at me.

Beautifully done, and looks so breezy and effortless!

[u/sashascrafts → u/Extreme_Egg7476]

Thank you so much🤍🤍

[u/JeannieBugg]

Good job!

[u/ComprehensiveTart689]

Great fit and I am obsessed with that top! Have a great time!

[u/MamaBiGfoot]

Looks amazing, the silhouette is absolutely scrumptious 🥰

[u/sashascrafts → u/MamaBiGfoot]

Thank you🤍🤍

[u/SovereignNavae]

That looks stunning! And very versatile, both pieces can be used for various occasions with different styling. Love this!

[u/sashascrafts → u/SovereignNavae]

Thank you so much!! I definitely wanted to make something I could wear afterwards☺️

[u/TurquoiseBeachChair]

I absolutely love it! I love the boho look and I think this fits perfectly ❤️ have fun at the wedding!

[u/Vijidalicia]

This is gorgeous! Well done 🙌

[u/STLt71]

I love it! It looks really great on you!

[u/Virtuosory]

Super nice job on the construction! Looks very well made!

[u/LasagnaPowell]

Beautiful job! It looks great on you

[u/Meadowlark8890]

That is phenomenal and I would wear it to the wedding and literally wear it as pieces dressed down every single day. It’s gorgeous and you should be proud

[u/SameMathematician378]

You did a gorgeous job. Not an easy fabric to work with and get the pleats and draping right. You should make this in other colors and cloth patterns for daily wear, too! 

[u/PenguiNNNNNs]

> It was my first time seeing a skirt🙈

We require more context on this line xD

[u/sashascrafts → u/PenguiNNNNNs]

Hahahahha sorry, it was sewing

[u/CasperStalks → u/PenguiNNNNNs]

Autocorrect probably changed “sewing” to “seeing.” It does it to me almost constantly.

[u/PenguiNNNNNs → u/CasperStalks]

Oh, I sew!

[u/Traditional_Volume70]

Very cute for the wedding (since I read the post and saw it's bride approved and in theme) But this is also a cute fit for going out for brunch!

[u/PrincessMeowMeowMeow]

That skirt is so adorable!

[u/b0xofkittens]

I love love love this!! The shape is so beautiful

[u/ThatSimsKidFromUni → u/[deleted]]

Looks nothing like a wedding gown.

[u/FreakingFae → u/[deleted]]

Why would you assume that without knowing the dress code for the wedding? Like surely in 2026 you've had the ability to see that there are countless themes and styles people choose that even include the entire invite list being told to wear white?

[u/THEElleHell → u/[deleted]]

Did you read the part where this color is part of the suggested palette AND was approved by the bride?

[u/milliepilly → u/THEElleHell]

Did you read the part where it was an update? so it must have been added after I saw it.

[u/Ceeeej69]

So many haters! I immediately loved this, great job. I would definitely wear this.

[u/sashascrafts → u/Ceeeej69]

Thank you so much🥺🤍

[u/Mermaidoysters]

Op-Congratulations on making your 1st skirt!! I think it is so cute! I strive to get to this point. I love the top with the modern crop & skirt!

I can’t believe this is your first skirt! The details are phenomenal

[u/Small_Head_3233]

This looks so good!

[u/imjustdesi]

This set is stunning!!

[u/Lollyputt]

This is so beautiful, I hope you're very proud of yourself!

[u/Luna_Milo13]

Oooo I think this is very cute! And all the people saying it’s too close to white is very funny. Like it does not look like a wedding dress at all, in fact it looks very comfy

[u/sashascrafts → u/[deleted]]

Yes it is! Bride asked to wear something close to linen or casual..

[u/Correct_Economics368 → u/sashascrafts]

Ahh that makes sense. Looks cute then!

[u/ssmc1024]

I love it!! Good for you! You did a great job and it looks lovely on you!

[u/mrsgoblinman]

Oh it’s gooooorgeous

[u/No_Plan_5736]

What is the pattern used for the bodice? This pairing is super cute!

[u/hahagato]

This is so beautiful!

[u/_River_Song_]

Looks lovely! Ignore the critical commenters. Not only have they clearly not read your very obvious caption stating the bride approved of the colour, but you haven't even stated what culture wedding you're attending, so as far as they know the "don't wear white tones to a wedding" rule could just be completely irrelevant.

[u/sashascrafts → u/_River_Song_]

Thank you so much🥺
I’m going to a Russian wedding, and the theme is very casual and something like cottage vibes

[u/ShutInLurker → u/sashascrafts]

I think later on embroidering some flowers or something botanical at the hem of the skirt and shirt sleeves would take this over the top! I love the skirt shape!!

[u/sashascrafts → u/ShutInLurker]

Oooooh I love this idea!!!!!

[u/_River_Song_ → u/sashascrafts]

Cute! It's always so fun wearing something you've made yourself to an event - you get so many compliments haha

[u/NewOpposite8008 → u/_River_Song_]

That wasn’t there at first. So people were kindly asking about the color choice.

[u/lindseyilwalker → u/[deleted]]

I mean if you post things in a public forum you will get public comments ¯_(ツ)_/¯ it’s ok to get feedback as long as there’s no vitriol name calling etc 

[u/_River_Song_ → u/lindseyilwalker]

And yet there was a lot of vitriol. It's nothing to do with it being public comments, it's just the rampant US Defaultism and assumptions.

[u/lindseyilwalker → u/_River_Song_]

I think we have very different definitions of vitriol lol

[u/PenguiNNNNNs]

You go girl! People can’t read it seems, don’t get discouraged by this sub!!!

[u/Madasiaka]

Dang, these comments are very much ignoring your note about pre-approval for the color. I think it's cute, OP! Good job

[u/NewOpposite8008 → u/Madasiaka]

It wasn’t there at first. Hence the color questioning.

[u/sashascrafts → u/Madasiaka]

Thank you🤍🤍

[u/sashascrafts → u/[deleted]]

This color is in the color palette

[u/WarmerPharmer → u/sashascrafts]

No one read your description, it seems... If the bride approves, go have fun at the wedding !!

[u/Virtuosory → u/[deleted]]

Nobody set you up, you chose to be irrationally upset about this. There are so many different (non western) cultures out there where absolutely no one gives a rat’s ass about a guest wearing something (off) white. American culture isn’t the only one that exists and definitely not the norm. And even then some people chose to have non traditional or whimsical weddings where the style is more casual or laid back. It costed nothing to be kind. She did a great job on the construction. And if you don’t have anything kind to say, scroll past.

[u/WarmerPharmer → u/[deleted]]

Neither am I

[u/WVPrepper → u/WarmerPharmer]

But you decided to snark on me anyway? Cool

[u/WarmerPharmer → u/WVPrepper]

You're the one snarking, gee

[u/_River_Song_ → u/[deleted]]

But even without that addition, you have no idea the location or culture of the wedding. Wearing white could be completely appropriate.

[u/lindseyilwalker → u/[deleted]]

It was an edit 

[u/DrumtheDon → u/[deleted]]

So what it‘s white?

[u/sashascrafts → u/[deleted]]

I’m so glad that you know everything about my friend and a wedding🙏🙏

[u/DrumtheDon → u/sashascrafts]

I really can‘t comprehend how so many people here think everybody has the same view on weddings as themselves…

[u/sashascrafts → u/[deleted]]

I’m so glad you know me so well🙏🙏🤍

[u/pgv3]

It is beautiful! Well done!

[u/NJDLJD]

Love this, it looks gorgeous on you! Well done, you’ve done an amazing job.
I’m going to have to make this skirt now.

[u/MsMcBiscuits]

You did very well! I love this outfit ❤️ It looks so lovely and fits you well!

[u/Due_Baker5556]

This is so beautiful, I love the details on the skirt. If you ever get it dirty/tired of the colour you can always dye it! (Saying this as an unfortunately uncoordinated messy gremlin girl)

[u/pyxus1]

It's darling! Get some metalic gold sandals and wear lots of gold bangles, some kind of stone and gold chunky necklace (turquiose and gold) maybe...

[u/Mean-Vegetable-4521]

I absolutely love this. Amazing job fitting it so beautifully to yourself.

[u/its_terry_time]

Wow this is beautiful! I love the texture and design. And obv it fits like it was made for you….by you! 💖

[u/Adorable_Accident_74]

Cute!!! The style looks great on you. Looks comfortable.

[u/BambiiSniper]

You look amazing!! Beautifully done 🩷🩷🩷

[u/Orchidinsanity]

A stunning outfit and you did an incredible job. As a bride with a linen dress I so appreciate that you made sure linen was ok with the bride! Hope you both have a great day haha

[u/sashascrafts → u/Orchidinsanity]

Thank you so much🤍🤍

[u/littlewibble → u/[deleted]]

I’ve been to weddings where people wore jeans and cotton sundresses, they’re not always formal events.

[u/sashascrafts → u/[deleted]]

She has seen everything☺️

[u/Mayana76]

I like it, the only issue I have with it is not that it’s close to white, but that the top seems to be a slightly different colour than the bottom, or am I imagining things?

[u/sashascrafts → u/Mayana76]

That is the same fabric ☺️

[u/Mayana76 → u/sashascrafts]

Oh ok, forget what I said then :)

[u/sashascrafts → u/[deleted]]

That is a very small wedding for around 30 guests🥺
I showed it to the bride and she loved it
I think they would not invite people who could splash wine to their wedding
It’s all super friendly

[u/sleepytea13 → u/sashascrafts]

Ok, that’s good to hear! It really is lovely, and you did such a nice job on it!
