Does this dress work for a formal wedding? It’s in Mexico (Mexico city) in November. I’m having my a hard time finding a formal dress I love. I’m thinking I will wear dressy earrings and do my hair at least half up if not all up.

Planning to wear this dress to a “formal” wedding. I’m short so the bottom part is just past my ankle. Will this be okay? Pairing it with some gold jewelry (earrings and bracelet) and hair up.

Sorry for the messy room but this is the only full-length mirror I have. It is a purple velvet dress that does go past my knees aside from the slit. The wedding is today (yes I know, I bought the dress earlier but am having doubts this morning) was planning to have hair up and wear heels.

Hi! I would love some thoughts on this dress for a Fall wedding that is an elegant cocktail affair. Thanks!

Wedding is in NY

Hi Attending a wedding in Australia (in the summer) labeled as black tie. Weddings in Australia are not usually as dressy but still not sure if this is dressy enough.

If it is - my other question would be what colour shoes and earrings to wear. I’m having my hair in an elegant up style and glam makeup. Keen to do some big glitzy earrings. Would gunmetal shoes or gold shoes work? Gold or silver earrings? ETC Any advice is appreciated! Thank you :)

Going to my first black-tie (optional) wedding tomorrow. I frantically bought this dress and then remembered they asked for darker color attire. Did I absolutely fail? I’ll return it if it’s not appropriate but it’s fun and I’m kind of sad about it!

i bought some fabric to sew a skirt if i need to add if the length is not appropriate. i’ll buy a matching shawl while im traveling around india, but is the length ok? is it formal enough?

Hi everyone,

I’m attending a wedding in February in Mexico (San Miguel de Allende). The bride is from there with her family all currently living there. They are also Catholic. The groom is his family are Canadian, although there will only be about 30 ppl from his side and about 250+ from hers (so I don’t want to stick out). The dress code is black tie and I’ve heard that it should be more formal than typical Canadian black tie wedding guest attire. The bride has specifically said people dress UP.

I found this online at Lulus, although it is currently sold out. I have ordered from them before and in my experience the fit can be a bit weird and the quality not the greatest. I’ve also been hit with some additional customs fees from there before.

So my question is, would this style be appropriate? Assuming I wear a shawl over my shoulders for the ceremony portion in the church?

If yes, are there any online alternatives to Lulus that are within the $150-$300 CAD range that have this style or similar?

Thanks!! :)

TLDR: Advice on traditional Mexican wedding with a formal dress code AND online purchasing options.

Hey everyone! I’m headed to a wedding this spring in a barn in south Texas. The dress code is Yellowstone attire encouraged.
