Is this dress appropriate for a wedding?

hellohkb

I'm going to a wedding next month and want to get a new dress... I was hoping to get one that I could use again to go out and dress up or down depending on the situation. After perusing through ModCloth 9,000 times I found this and realized I could dress it up with a black cardigan, pretty jewelry, and a black pair of heels. 

Thoughts?

Yeah, I was definitely worried the polka dots may be a little too loud. I was just going to wear my engagement ring and a pair of post earrings.

It's a cute dress! I wouldn't wear it because it's NMS but I think it would look great on someone else. I think it would work for a daytime ceremony or a venue less casual than cocktail dress attire.

It's during the evening. The invitations seemed casual but I googled the venue and it's a nice spot on Long Island, so now I'm so conflicted!

I would wear this only to a more casual daytime wedding (super cute though). But for a nicer venue in the evening, I wouldn't go with big polka dots.

Alright, thanks guys. Looks like it's back to the drawing board. So far I can't find anything I like and I have less than two weeks to figure something out, so cross your fingers for me,

You could wear it with a cute blazer maybe?

Also, if you like that style, check out Sidecca. I think they're just a local store, but they have an Amazon shop too.

@JennyColada I just looked at their Amazon page.. I'm in love! Thanks for the link

Would something like these work?

That LBD looks great for an evening wedding!

Thanks! I just added to more to that post that I love but was unsure about! I went from having 0 dresses I liked to 3.

They are all cute but I still like the first one best.  Personally I couldn't see #2 or #3 being flattering on myself, but it probably all depends on your body type.  I'd feel like #2 would hide my waist, while #3 would put all the focus on the boobage.  But that's just me.  I do think #2 is super cute if you know that shape has worked for you in the past.  I like the floaty double-layer look.

I personally do not like the second one, but I love the first one!

Thanks, guys. I think I may get the first or third one. I'm just feeling weird about a tight dress because I feel like I have too much stomach pooch and large hips, if you know what I mean. My measurments are 39-30-40.

You have fantastic measurements! Shush and get yourself a sexy dress!

You are crazy.  You have perfect hourglass measurements.

LBDs always work.

I love that second one. Skinny belt and chunky heels. Perfection.

Bah, now that LBD is sold out in my size. The ModCloth Gods are working against me.

1. It's cute!

2. I would switch out the black cardigan or shoes for something with color. Black on black on black, boring.

3. I own the black sleek it out dress. If you're hippy, size up. I wore it with black heels, a skinny lemon yellow belt, and yellow nails (yellow and grey wedding).

That dress is so cute!
