A whiter white background or whiter white dress.
Since thge brain will call the white dress white even if it\'s not the brightest thing on the page, the question becomes one of why a white BG is being used in the first place. It may be simply for a white BG, or it may be to use in a manipulated image.
In the latter case, a completely knocked out background makes things a bit easier.
If one uses shadows on the dress to one\'s advantage, the eye/brain will see the subject contrast, and will assign the correct perceptual tone to the white dress, even when it\'s not truly white and is \"less white\" than the BG.
