Meringue is not inherently British, but lemon meringue pie is a classic example of a dessert that features meringue as a topping. Meringue is a sweet, white topping made of egg whites and sugar that has been beaten to an airy froth before being piled on top of an innocent pie and baked. The reference to meringue in the passage is used to describe bridesmaids' dresses that are often over-the-top and dreadful with frills and frou-frous and lace and all manner of unusual, frothy confections added to the basic design. The speaker is thankful that the dress looks quite sophisticated and does not have any of these frills or frothy confections.
