Would you wear an ankle-length white dress on Shabbos? I love the look. Is it only reserved for kallahs? Of course, I am talking about a more simple design, not a huge glitzy gown. Besides attracting unnecessary attention, would I look ridiculous?

White on white is trending now. It's fresh and summery.
You won't look like a Kallah if you avoid the Lacey, beaded look 
I would personally need to wear a floor length bib with it but I think on someone else it would look great.

Something like this is beautiful for Shabbos but is not overly dressy. |
It's beautiful. I wish it would be less expensive. Having seen white dresses at chasunas - even mothers of chooson & kallah wearing white kallah type gowns, it got confused about wearing white in general. I think you can wear another color when you go to a chasuna.

Beautiful dress but, imo, neither a cardigan or a shells would work - both would ruin the look

Davka they shouldn't, at a chassuna! it's stealing attention from the kalla!
In my world people who aren't a kalla don't wear gowns, and certainly no full white look at a chassuna. It's SO rude.

In my world the close relatives wear gowns and white is common for the little sisters of the kallah, which is fine, but I think it's weird when the mothers look like kallahs. So what do you think about a white dress for Shabbos?

I like the dress but imo, adding a shell would make it look like way too much fabric, at least on me!

You mean like too much white?

on myself, yes too much of one color...I'm about 5ft 2in. also I wear pretty thick tights and don't wear sandals or peeptoe flats...so I feel like it would look a little silly since it's such a light summery fabric. what shoes would you wear? it might look great on you, can you try it on in the store with a shell and the shoes you would wear?

Just make sure you wear an ankle-length flesh-color SLIP with it. No, not white. Flesh color, so it doesn't show. White undies under white clothes show up like a full moon in the sky.

If it would be too much white on you, imagine what it would be on a person who is 8 inches taller...
I would wear it with black flats. The other pair I have are black satin kitten heels, but I think they wouldn't go with the dress.
I also wear thick tights and don't wear sandals etc., but since I always dress like that, I wouldn't see the problem.
Thank you everybody for your advice!
