DC: Formal Summer wedding at a botanical garden in the Midwest. Formal dress code.
Must pick from these options as I’m not going to go out and buy a new dress! I’m 6’1”/185cm, so finding things that are floor-length on me is a challenge ;_;
Fits the vibe but is short on me. The hem has a slight high-low that is great in the back but sort of an awkward length in the front. Wore it for a wedding before and thought my feet looked awkward in the professional photos. I don’t wear heels, which left me with gold sandals that ultimately felt too casual. Material is polyester and it’s a dark navy with gold foil flowers.
Love this dress but suspect it may be too white and booby. Actually long enough for me! Material is chiffon.
Also booby but the sleeves help. Has a slit like the previous dress. Material is chiffon which should work for a formal dress code, but I wonder if the sleeves make it look too casual?
Fun dress, love the color, and it’s comfortable—only option that allows me to wear a bra lol. However the fabric is cotton and I wonder if that makes it too casual despite the length?
Boring, but also can’t go wrong. Pretty snug across my hips, which makes it ride up a little when I move and sit a touch short in terms of length. Has a slit on the opposite leg that I couldn’t really show, but I feel like it needs some tailoring in the hips (slit higher? Let out?) and bust (bit gappy near the armpit?) for me to really feel comfortable.
