OT cream and floral for wedding?
We're invited to a wedding on Friday at a place that will be semi formal (I assume?) but it's at 4 in the afternoon. I was going to wear a floral jumpsuit but wore it to church on Sunday instead and the bride and groom saw me in it so I don't want to wear it again 5 days later to their wedding.
I found a maternity dress at Ross for only $7 so I grabbed it. The fitting room lady said it's not too white for a wedding and it's really the only dress I liked and felt comfortable in. Thoughts?

I realized that the shoes I want to wear don't match the belt I have- they're different shades of brown. Should I go beltless or look for a belt that matches my shoes better?

I agree with BoPeep: shoes
I agree with BoPeep: shoes look fine, not too white, and no belt needed. Very pretty and summer!!
I’d take a purse to match
I’d take a purse to match shoes and possibly a necklace. Shoes don’t really have to match dress as much as it kinda has to match purse and belt if you wear one. Cute dress!

Ooooooh, or she can get a purse that matches a color in the dress!
Oh yeah red one

for a wedding. Cream with red or pink flowers is nothing like wedding white. That salesperson is nuts.
Agree the color is fine
Agree the color is fine because of the all over foral on it.
Cute dress. Light an airy looking for summer heat.
Shoes are cute (but I'd break my neck when I fell , lol).
Dress needs a belt due to the pattern needing to flow together between top section and skirt section. You don't want to look like a wall with unmatched up wallpaper (for my lack of better way to descrbe ... the print either has to line up or but separated, thus the belt coming between). Maybe instead of brown as in the shoes, go with trying to find belt the color of dress or the floral? You don't want to weigh the dress down.
Great deal on the cost of the dress.
She could buy a length of 1
She could buy a length of 1-inch wide grosgrain ribbon that matches the dress and tie it around her waist in lieu of an actual belt. I've done that before.
Great idea!

I wore something like that to a Nephews wedding recently. I had matching clutch bag and shoes and belt. No hat though, or fascinator as they don't wear them here.
It's very pretty and will look nice. White is ok as a minor background colour these days.
I love it

It looks fine! There are
It looks fine! There are enough flowers on there to steer away from the "bride" white. If you are too nervous about it, you can always text the bride and ask her for her opinion. It can't hurt.
Perfect for a wedding.
I am old fashioned when it comes to manner of dress at special occasions, and that dress is fine for a wedding. Anymore, even at semi formal events, you see people dressed in everything. I think that dress will work if it sem-formal or even if it is more casual. I agree, it needs something at the waist. Maybe a lighter color shoe - something more "summery" and with a lower heel?
White or cream color elegant
White or cream color elegant shoes or sandals or even ballet flat or red shoes might be a better choice.
