A girlie question--Evening Wedding attire
Comments (14)Oh, I was a military brat and an officer's wife as well, and the protocol was so defined, one even knew before the fact where they'd be seated at a function or park in the lot outside. Neither of my parents were 'high society', but of a generation where upward mobility was linked to 'what other people' thought. Since America didn't have royalty, we had to invent them and it was done in social circles. I do a lot of historical and genealogical research, and anyone my age or older knows very well how the society section of the paper read. It was the common mass' fifteen minutes of fame and nobody begrudged it to them. Oh gosh.......not that protocol should dissolve completely. I still cringe at white shoes worn before Memorial day, sandals in winter, school jackets worn over formals, and bridal gowns designed like somebody forgot to cover their underwear, complete with corset stays showing as well as a mountain of cleavage all the while a veil over the face denoting modesty. rofl. After googling the popular W**martian U-tube videos nothing shocks me anymore and a really pretty red sweater and Tuxedo pants for a wedding strikes me as beautifully appropriate. Enjoy yourself....See MoreWedding guest attire help needed
Comments (88)Well, I survived the wedding and my dress turned out to be perfect for the crowd and venue. I think I only posted it on JTL’s funeral attire thread so here it is. INC on sale $70, and it’s even less now. I’m not a gazelle so it was just above my knees. Wore a longish mixed medal pendant. Flared sleeves are super cute. I actually like this dress and will wear it again...See MoreMore wedding guest attire...

Comments (19)Thank you all so very much for the compliments, good wishes, and the weather info and advice. It is all appreciated. Ruby, yes, I have a pair of low-heeled black sandals that are also a contender. I’m going to re-try everything and make a decision this weekend. Their wedding colors are black and gold and my DIL is wearing a black dress with gold trim. I’ll be in the background anyway and didnt really want to wear black so this was the next best thing. I tried a couple of gowns in a champagne color but that color just is not flattering on me. I think i will order the ruana. It’s on sale for $66 and I can wear it around here when the weather isn’t so cold. Transportation will be provided from our hotel to the wedding venue so I’m not too worried about traveling around the afternoon/evening of the wedding. I’m just glad we’re driving so i can take whatever clothes I ’might’ need....See MoreTina Marie
