How firm is the rule about not wearing white after Labor Day/Before Memorial Day?

I’m asking because I want to wear a dress colored like ranch dressing so you won’t be able to see the stains when I spill it on myself, but I’m not sure if it's a fashion faux pas.

I’m also curious if my ranch dressing colored dress will be okay to wear as a wedding guest because I know you're not supposed to wear white but this will also have some little specks of green in it so does that make it okay?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I really don’t want to offend the bride because the last time that happened, the bride yanked off my veil and it almost ripped out one of my hair extensions.

@Alice Maybe putting bleu cheese dress on it would be okay?

@Alice
It should be fine as long as you wear a cowboy hat for the full the ranch look.

@Alice I think it's OK as long as the is flavored like ranch dressing too. Granted, I'm neither style maven nor gourmet.

@Alice definitely a faux pas to have the stains visible. Trust yourself on this one and wear the white. Also, a small dog works wonders to surreptitiously clean off any spills too large to be hidden, and you should consider renting one for the event.

@Alice My wife and I always joke about wearing a pasta sauce colored shirt when we go out to dinner.

@rasterweb @Alice my architect cousin has a whole swatch book of ravioli rugs for new parents, that look ok when new and still look ok when liberally splattered with tomato sauce from kids.
