I am really tempted to get that dress in a medium so I have a black dress for (strangely enough) funerals and weddings. My niece got married a year ago, and her mother wore a stunning simple black dress to the wedding. I never thought of wearing black to a wedding, especially if you’re mom of the bride. But she looked fabulous and modern and chic in that dress. I wore what I thought was a nice print dress, but it looked horrible and frumpy in the pictures I saw. I got that dress at Kohl’s. I really thought I liked that dress, until I SAW the pictures! ARG. This black dress at QVC looks great, but might be a tad long. It is very elegant though. I’d need to wear heels. I wore flats with my print dress and that no doubt didn’t help much, they were frumpy. I may have to break my rule and wear heels again for rare occasions! I will search for black heels that don’t kill my feet. DSW here I come....LOL.
Black dress (and pearls) are always elegant looking, but seems strange for a wedding, I agree. Recently I saw a young woman wearing a strapless white dress to her son’s wedding and it really stunned me. She looked beautiful but wearing white and out shining the bride is a no no.
I agree that wearing heels makes a big difference. If you’re going to be dancing, tuck some flats in your purse, lol.
