I think that's a beautiful outfit and perfectly appropriate for the dinner. While some may feel that black pants would be more suitable, I really like the white. The outfit is summery yet dressy, and seems to convey a sense of joy, which goes hand-in-hand with the celebration at hand. Enjoy!

I think it's perfect! You will look great in that happy print. I have always loved AV.

Definitely, looks very nice.

I'll be the wet blanket. It's a lovely outfit but very resort wear. The last rehearsal dinner I went to (we were out of town guests) was almost like a reception and quite formal. If you're unsure , opt for a dress to be on the safe side.

I think it's lovely and appropriate. Given that it's at the college alumni center, my sense is that it wouldn't be a formal affair.

I haven't worn a dress in years and I have three weddings this summer and will wear dressy pants outfits to all of them as well as rehearsal dinners/happy hours. I don't feel comfortable in dresses and think pants can look just as good, especially with the right jewelry and accessories.

Full disclosure: I don't even own a dress anymore. (Oh wait - I think I have one very summery sundress. The sort of thing you'd wear to the pool over your swimsuit.)

I have worn dressy slacks with heels and a fun top to rehearsal dinners before and never gave it a second thought before, during, or after. You will look great. You will be comfortable. Go for it with no regrets or second guessing.

you will look great in that outfit, very nice !

Fantastic outfit. It's chic and fresh.

You will look appropriately and beautifully dressed for that event. Great choices!

I think it will be just fine! Bright and summery. We attended rehearsal dinners last summer and the spring before. Neither were held at formal venues and people did not dress too formal. Women wore dresses (but not formal!) and pants both. I'm with you on not needing much jewelry. With that top, I'd wear a great pair of earrings. Have fun!

I love the top and think the white pants are perfect with it, especially for summer. We've been to rehearsal dinners where there was 'some' formality and where it was just as you describe with 'wear what you want'. Some of the younger girls were in cute sleeveless dresses but most of the older crowd were in pants and dressy tops.

Around here, you'd wear a dress, but after reading what you said about your SIL & BIL...I think that outfit is perfect! Very pretty!

Such a pretty top! Love the colors and I am a black and white person. You will look great!

I think you will be perfect. It's such a pretty outfit, and while I'm a dress person myself, when I was looking for clothes for a recent wedding I was much frustrated by the fact that the overwhelming majority of nice outfits were pants + top and not dresses.

Nice outfit and appropriate for this occasion. I have the same shoes. So comfortable! Earth Orgins, right? Have a great time.

A lovely outfit! (PS, speaking as the owner of exactly two dresses, one of which I'm not quite certain I still fit into!)

I like it too. Let us know what the other women wore!

Nowadays, there is always a wide range in attire. We agonize in the details for naught.
