I wouldn't have worn a white dress to someone else's wedding that is just tacky in my opinion. I understand being pregnant and uncomfortable. I have 2 kids and went to weddings while pregnant with each one of them, but I never wore a white dress (even if my white dress was more comfortable) I wore something else in a different color. This is just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Unexcused. Pregnant women can still find dresses that aren't white! Colour has nothing to do with the fact that it's a maternity dress. People should know not to wear white to a wedding. (Though I guess they don't - I was at a wedding this summer where a 35-year-old cousin of the bride wore all white.)

Wearing a tube dress to a wedding sounds incredibly tacky all on it's own. Add in the fact that it was a white one, and that's unexcusable. She could've found something else, or as was said above, at least had it dyed.

Poor soul probably felt like a whale and had nothing else that would fit her. However, if she bought the dress especially for the wedding, white was a poor choice. Even if it was the only item she could find and/or afford, she could have had it dyed.
As for tube top, well that's another question. While pregnancy is nothing to be ashamed of, I think this trend to let it all hang out is unpleasant. I don't really need to see that much flesh, on a pregnant woman or any woman.

Such a big fight for just one day, where more people will show up for the food and alcohol at the reception and will only remember the fights and the stupid stuff rather than the beauty of the ceremony. What is more important - what people wear, or that HE says "I do" and YOU say "I do"? I would think that the groom showing up to say he will promise to love and cherish you for as long as you both shall live is more important than who wears what at the wedding. That's all that mattered to me, anyway. I figured I would be lucky if anybody showed up for the cermony, considering it was in a campground in the Sierra National Forest. What my guests and my mom wore was at least clothes, I was more concerned about my mom's flat tire and that I had zero flowers for my bouquet and my sister had to drive down to the supermarket to get me one. You know what? Focus on you and your fiance making your promises to each other, not what people wear. I would think you focusing on making your marriage work and last more than the average 6 months is far more important than the color of your mom's dress in the wedding photos.

Wow, I am glad I am not any of your friends! Have any of you ever been pregnant in the summer, and lived where it is very hot?? Try it out some time. You wear as little as possible and finding dresses that looks decent and is comfortable when you are that big is hard.
Give me a damn break. How many brides were actually virgins when they got married and still wore white. I think its funny that people have the audacity to spout the whole purity thing and white only for brides, when we all know that this isn't the case anymore.
I couldn't have cared less what people wore to my wedding, as long as they were dressed nicely, and it was a $30K wedding.

I think it depends on the formality of the wedding. I wouldn't have done it, pregnant or not, since white is usually the color of the bride. Concerning symbolism, let's face it, the vast majority of brides nowadays are no virgins; I think it's even less tasteful getting married in a white dress while being pregnant. She should have worn a different color, but probably she simply didn't think about it..

I dont like to see pregnant women in tight fitting clothing. And a tube dress???? Hmmmm to each their own I guess.
But I dont think anyone should wear white to a wedding except for the bride so I will say UNEXCUSED.
There are lots of pretty maternity dresses out there so she cant use the excuse it was all she could find that fitted etc. I am sure she bought it for the occasion. She should of chose a different colour. I am sure she stood out!!! And I think this is probably what she was hoping for.

Very poor etiquette indeed, however I'd cut pregnant ladies slack. Many women aren't going to go out and spend bundles of bucks on a dress that they SERIOUSLY won't wear again, especially if it's a maternity dress. She may have been in the position of wearing either what she wore, or jeans or shorts--that may have been the only "nice" thing she owns that fits her pregnant body.
