neutral  Daryo: yes, that's the "obvious" bit - more important: what's the meaning of "dressed all in white" in the specific context. THAT is the real question, even is Asker didn't ask it. Dressed all in white what for? for a marriage or for a funeral? or ...?

  -> True, but since that question was not asked and no other context was given I simply answered the question that was asked.
agree  Yvonne Gallagher: of course you've answered the question asked. I just wonder why it needed to be asked in the first place. Definitely non-pro.

  -> Thank you. I agree that it is non-pro.
