AW - Rehearsal Dinner Dress

I am not a dress person, at all.  But my mom really wants me to wear a dress to the rehearsal dinner and since our rehearsal is outside (barring bad weather) I had to find something light and nice, but not too casual or dressy.  So we went shopping yesterday and ended up buying this dress (without the belt).  The neckline sits a little lower on me (due to my boobage) so it gives a hint of cleavage, but it's acceptable cleavage.  Church cleavage, even.  Anyways what do you guys think?

Re: AW - Rehearsal Dinner Dress

  • Oooh, I love it!  I wore a party dress in my wedding colors to my RD -- you'll be a hit!  :)
  • I really like that!  Where'd you get it?
  • CUTE! I love the back, it's sexy but not in a revealing way.
  • OH NO YOU DIDN'T! That's my rehearsal dress too. As well as graduation and Squirrly's wedding!

  • That is super cute!  I love the ruffling (?) around the neckline :)

  • I got it at White House, Black Market - they're having a spring sale and I got the last one of these in my size in the store.

  • Oh, I would suggest wearing a strappless bra with it. I didn't think about it and had to fight the straps all night.

    I knew I had seen it before!  You posted it here didn't you LVB?  I think we gave you shoe or accessory advice or something.

  • You would not believe the ass it gives you! It's my most favorite dress, in a very long time.

  • I love this dress.  I wish I had somewhere to where it to so I could go out and get it.

  • Purty- I love it!  :)

  • No, I actually just AW'd it. I got the pink flower and black flower belt thingy to go with it. Along with a pair of great shoes. Ignore the stupidness of the picture, but it's a great outfit together. You're going to rock this dress!

  • Awesome!  And - my RD dress is from WHBM too.  Different dress, though.  I LOVE their stuff.  I'm addicted.

    Also- you easily rock a pop of color with the shoes/accessories, totally make it "you"



    judge the non-traditional, pop their happy little wedding balloons... and sleep better tonight for you have made the world a better place.
  • Yeah LVB, I remember the pink flower belt!  Cute!

  • Love!  I have a similarly patterned dress for my bridal shower.  There is just something about that type of floral pattern that is spectacular.
  • Very pretty!!

  • LOL at church cleavage. I love it. I'm just hoping I can find one in my size!
  • Thanks guys, I feel even better about it now!  LVB I love the pink belt!  I'm not very fashion forward but I'm going to steal that look and try and find a similar belt.

  • Nugget, the belt is black with a flower. The pink thing is like a..hair clip? I put the clip on the belt, next to the black flower. I had the most fab gay guy at the store put the outfit together for me.

    I tried that on as well, but this dress that LVB posted is MY RD dress!  :)  (minus the belt)  I love White House Black Market too.
