AN unconventional color scheme has left one wedding guest on the hunt for a new dress — which people say she'll never be able to wear again.

In fact, several people insisted they'd RSVP "no" if they were invited to such a wedding, unhappy with the strict dress code.

Redditor Glittering-alarm7671 posted her dress options on the social media platform.

She asked fellow Reddit users for advice on which outfit to choose for the matrimonial affair.

"I have a wedding in Florida coming up in two months," she said.

"It is outside by the ocean at a resort, and the dress code is only cream and tan.

"Deciding between these three dresses."

DRESS STRESS

The Redditor included swatches of the exact colors requested for guests to wear.

Many of the hues were variations of beige and off-white.

She also shared pictures of three contending dresses to don at the event.

First, she posted the Lace Ruffle Sleeve Maxi Dress, $71.91, by Lucy In The Sky in cream.

She also added the Lace Open Back Mermaid Maxi Dress, $62.91, by Lucy In The Sky.

Finally, she posted the Strapless Lace Ruffle Slit Dress, $55.92, also by Lucy In The Sky.

FASHION POLICE

While some people picked their favorite dress, several were aghast at the dress code.

"I hate it. EVERYONE will have to shop for this wedding," said one.

"I’d honestly skip a wedding like this," added another.

"But if you really want to go, three looks best. However, if it costs a whole lot more than the others, go with the cheapest one.

"That’s what they deserve for this dress code."

Yet another said she'd be "extremely tempted to wear my wedding dress."

"[It] fits with what they’re asking, because they’re asking something crazy," she said.

One more insisted they like dress codes but only when it's something broad like "cocktail," "formal," or "black tie."

"[They're good because] ou can respect the couple and their wishes without having to make wild guesses or buy a dress in a certain shade of ivory you’ll never be able to wear again," she said.

"This one is beyond bananas."

Yet another said it's a "bizarre request [that] reeks of privilege and entitlement.

"Not going to lie, I'd probably skip the whole dang wedding out of sheer annoyance. Dictating what color palette guests wear is obnoxious enough, but beige?"
