is this dress fancy enough..

..to wear to a wedding 4th of july weekend? the wedding is in philly.

i only wore this dress once and i really don't feel like buying another dress.

thoughts?

eta: the dress is not that low cut (i had it altered) and short on me. i am no where near as tall as that girl.

i had the dress altered so my girls aren't as exposed.

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

after seeing some of these negative responses im re-thinking my response...

but

it depends on several things

daytime or night time?

philly or outside of philly?

is it on july 4th (which is a Monday btw)?

i went to a wedding in king of prussia last year where most of the girls were dressed in dresses like that one

HTH

I think this dress is very cute and would definitely be ok! Especially since you look very petite! Go for it!

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

i would have to see how you altered the front but i thik this would be ok for a much more casual wedding. i would say no. Do you have any other dresses that are a bit more dressy so you don't have to buy one?

it's just more closed up.. not such a deep v.

i'd have to check my closet, but i guess i'll just buy a new dress.

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

I think it's fine for a Sunday wedding in Philly.... just wear some great heels and accessorize and you'll be fine!

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

Also depends how close you are the people getting married. If you barely know them then its easier to get away with a casual look. Looking at the dress alone I would say its not really wedding appropriate. But with the right accessories and heels, it can work.

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

it's a little casual looking from the photo but if it fits you well and you wear fab jewelry and heels you may be ok. I'm a darker dress for evenings kinda girl.

I don't think you should even factor the July 4th date into your attire. It's still a wedding, so if this is something you would normally wear to a wedding, I say then go for it. Also you should double check what sort of venue the wedding is at. If it's a more casual setting, this could work. But I would not wear this to a more fancy/formal hall.

It all depends on the way this dress looks on you. In that photo, I think its a bit skimpy for a wedding IMHO.. but it may look completely different on you! Its a cute dress though, maybe wear it to your B-Party!? :)

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

I dont think its appropriate.. it seems like a lot of chest and leg will be showing and the material isnt very formal.

Re: is this dress fancy enough..

I think its a little too casual looking. Especially if the wedding is at a hall.
