Suitable for Carnuval Elegent Night & should I dye it..

Question for you lovely people. I am cruising on Carnival in January and I found a dress in the back of my closet that I forgot about.

Its white, with a crocheted overlay. Would this be suitable enough for carnival's formal night? Can I get away with it in white in January? I bought it when we were thinking of eloping so it feels so bridal like to me... but I think its because I knew what I bought it for. It was never marketed for bridal.. just a white summer dress.

I was thinking of maybe trying to dye it (some shade of blue most likely) since I feel kind of hesitant about the color and it would save me having to put another pair of shoes to go with it. Would it work? Should I try to dye it or leave it as is?

Edited to add: sorry about the typos in the title. Was posting on my mobile and aparently auto correct had some fun with me.

Leave it as it is. It's very pretty. [emoji1]

Where are you cruising? If the Caribbean, it's summer all year long....White is always fine!

I would leave it white and accessorize with colorful jewelry.

Pretty dress and looks comfy too.

Knew I forgot to mention something! It is a Caribbean so I figured it might be ok. I wasn't sure if it would be quite dressy enough and if I would stand out too much.

Have no idea what I will put on my feet but I guess it will give me a excuse to go shopping!

I'm a fan of metallics (for me usually silver) as a neutral to go with any "odd" color clothing (eg not black or brown) I think metallic sandals would look lovely with that dress

The dress is gorgeous and perfect for formal night. I agree with silver for shoes. You will look great! Enjoy your cruise.

Don't dye it. You will look great in it for formal night.

Don't ruin it by dyeing it - it is a beautiful dress just as it is. If you want a splash of colour, use red or turquoise accessories.

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

I totally agree with the other posters...leave it as it is and find yourself some pretty metallic sandals and you'll have the perfect outfit for a Caribbean cruise. Happy sailing!:D

Perfect. Leave it. I love it.

I would wear it as is. If you want color, add a stole or shoes in a bold color.

I always wear white on caribbean cruises in Dec/Jan

Carnival doesn't have a formal night, just a cruise "elegant" night which translates to something slightly above a shorts and flip flops. I think you will be perfectly dressed in this dress.

I love the white. It will look beautiful on you. Enjoy.
