Can I wear this to a black tie optional wedding?
Pics in album. Wedding is black tie optional but is at 11 am on a Sunday so I dot think a long gown is appropriate but is this too casual? My husband is a groomsmen so will be in a tux. Tia! Also would a one shoulder dress be appropriate at a conservative/ modern orthodox Jewish wedding? Thanks!

Technically, I think your shoulders should be covered. I could be wrong.

Thanks! Is this the kind of thing where I can wear a shawl during the ceremony and then take it off? I honestly have no idea!
Spoke to hubby and they are conservative, not orthodox. Thanks!

IMO I think it looks a little to casual for a wedding that they're marketing as "black tie optional" - I think b/c the top is a different color than the bottom it gives the appearance of just being a skirt & blouse. I'd wear something like a simple sheath, etc.

Im sorry i think thats too casual. Its not even a cocktail dress. I would def wear a very dressy cocktail dress. Blacktie optional no matter if its a sunday is dressy and your husband is a groomsman.

Re: Can I wear this to a black tie optional wedding?
I think it's casual looking, as well.
I know you said you didn't want to buy a new dress, but you should check out Macy's. They have very classic styles for $100 or less. In fact, I think my last dress I got there was around $60. They had a rack of dresses that were priced that low, every day.
I went to a conservative Jewish black tie wedding and wore a long black gown, with the top similar to the dress you have on.
They gave all the ladies white pashminas to wear during the ceremony.

Thanks :) I think it is a little dressier in person but nonetheless I agree it's too casual. Dress shopping I go!

Re: Can I wear this to a black tie optional wedding?
I think it would work if it were all black .......and what's up w/ a "black tie optional' rule for a Sunday morning wedding???
IMHO I wouldn't be dressing up 'black time optional' for a Sunday morning - appropriate is one thing, but I'd never wear what I'd wear to a Friday or Saturday evening wedding on a Sunday morning .....

I would not wear it. I tend to see dresses similar to that worn for a night on the town and not for a formal event.

As others said... it's too casual. Get something a bit more dressy and remember I'm sure you'll be in lots of pics since your DH is also in the wedding.
Have fun!
