white dress

Bridal attire often

A white dress is a dress that is white in color.

The phrase most often evokes formal or ceremonial occasions—wedding gowns, First Communion dresses, debutante attire.

A little white dress is a warm-weather staple, the summer counterpart to the little black dress.

White dresses carry associations of purity, innocence, and celebration.
