Kim K had the same thing. I think it's "trendy".

Yeah, are you sure you're not misreading the request? Can you check with the couple or wedding party if they really want women to wear white.

If so, I would choose an off-white color.

Black tie = long dress. Your good OP. The bride probably means no lace?

I would absolutely not buy a new, white gown to wear to a wedding as a guest. The one you have is fine.

You own it and it doesn't need tailoring? Absolutely wear it.

a white dress with a print of some (floral?) sort would probably be okay.

OP, your dress looks very bridal to me (but yes, in a soap opera way). However, this dress code is insane. Since you have a white formal dress that you love, I say go for it.

I feel like its the length of the dress that makes it “bridal”? Does a white tie gown have to be floor length?

I think you're overestimating how interesting these wedding pictures will look.

Wait do women have to wear white? I don’t understand.

The dress code is ridiculous.
