Yellow Lace Dress

Hello! It’s almost the weekend, and it’s hot and officially summer around here. I thought I’d close out this warm week with something light and airy, and sunny — this yellow lace dress from Lilly Pulitzer.

Update, this post is from 2013, so this dress is now sold out, so you might want to check out this page for Yellow Dresses if you have your heart set on a yellow dress. You can also see this similar dress Jaimie Dress at Lilly!

In my post about little white dresses for showers, I spoke about how I like the bride to have a few a non-white but bridal feeling dresses to wear to pre-wedding events like showers, engagement parties, and the rehearsal dinner. This yellow dress is exactly the kind of dress I envisioned for those events. The lace and light yellow color makes it feel just a little bit bridal to me.

Do you agree? Even though it feels bridal, if you’re a wedding guest, this dress is a true yellow (not cream) so it could also be worn by a wedding guest for an informal daytime wedding, without fear of being inappropriate.

To up the ladylike and bridal aspect for a bridal shower dress, I added lots of gold, pearl and bows, and some blush shoes.

For a wedding guest, I’d tone down the bridal aspect and add a fun accessory color like peach or blush or pale blue to pop against the yellow. If yellow isn’t for you, this dress also comes in a nice cobalt blue or turquoise – also perfect for a wedding guest.
