Dress me: long b/c of pics

in Wedding Woes

Our best friends' wedding (as in my BF and DH's BF marrying eachother) this weekend. It's kind of a big deal, the groom had a stroke last year around this time and the bride's dad was in a coma just last month but will be able to walk her down the aisle. I'm not a BM but I am supposed to do some songs during the cocktail hour, depending on a DJ issue.

This is what I have: a black sheath, a white dress with a black pattern, a military style olive green shirt dress, and a short floral skirt. I don't know that any of that is appropriate for a spring wedding.

This is what I may order:


I have this from last summer in b&w, but the reviews say the new fit is bad.




My only concern with this is that the jersey might cling in all the wrong places. Def w/ spanx



Anything sleeveless will be worn with a cardigan, and I have nude heels. The sky is the limit with jewellery.

Dear Rain, Not Today. Sincerely, My Parade

    I like the green one the best out of those. That last one is not cute.

    Of these the green is probably the dressiest.

    Cocktail hour implies evening thus more fancy affair.  i'd probably go with the black sheath.

    In my defense: the girl in the pic needs to tie it tighter an higher, it looks like a sack on her. I tried it on, it looked good but I needed a size only available on the website to be able to walk/sit down.

    But opinions noted, so far 4 is the loser.

    I like the green dress the best, but I agree with 6, cocktail hour implies fancy.   Go with the black sheath and get a pair of fab shoes or colorful accessories.

    this leads me to another another question:

    Do you think I'll get a side-eye for wearing black to a wedding that nearly didn't happen because the groom and FOB almost died? Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
