Bat Mitzvah what to wear?
Sept. 11th I have a bat mitzvah to go to. Can you believe that of all days. They lost a BIL and they are having it on that day, at 9:45 in the morning. I didnt realize it till DH told me. But now I dont know what to wear. I like wearing pants, but since I have to go to temple I have to wear a skirt/dress. One of my boys has a suit to match ihs fathers hirt a nice color, I am getting my littel guy a nice vest and tie set. But what do I wear? Should I wear tank style dress with an uneven heam lne or should I get something a little more subdued?I need Serious help on this. I have no clue.

Re: Bat Mitzvah what to wear?
technically, your shoulders should be covered in a temple....so if you go with the black dress, wear a shawl to templealso depends on what kind of temple...where is the reception? These things CAN be very swanky..along wedding like terms....so the uneven black dress sounds nice, but depending on what it looks like...you might jsut be underdressed!!!

People do dress up to Bat Mitzvah's on LI, so imagine day time wedding attire (dress up along the same lines).Also, do you happen to know if the temple is reform or conservative? Technically your shoulders shouldn't be exposed but if its reform its probably not as big of a deal.

I would wear a nice suit....don't think you could go wrong. Or a tank dress with a jacket or sweater.

You can't wear a suit to temple on the Sabbath. My dad was religious and everytime I tried to wear pants he flipped out. Go with a dress or skirt and if you decide on the tank make sure to cover your shoulders.

Re: Bat Mitzvah what to wear?
If it's a daytime reception as well, you can definitely wear a skirt suit. You should have your shoulders covered for a Shabbat service. Is the reception in the afternoon or evening? If it's in the evening, many people change to something dressier. If it's in the afternoon, a fancy suit is good or a cocktail length dress.Welcome New Vendors
