Red dress as a guest alert...

[mayachel]

What do you think, can I safely wear this as a guest to an evening wedding? The recent thread has got me worried.

I think so, but I am a MN girl who thinks this whole, you can''t wear red, black, or long dresses to weddings is silly. BTW, you look HOT!

I think it''s lovely! What a gorgeous dress. If it''s an evening wedding, I don''t think you''ll have a problem. That dress is an appropriate cut.

I think you look gorgeous in your dress and that it''s very appropriate for an evening wedding.

I give your red dress a big thumbs up! It looks fabulous on you. I think it''s definitely appropriate for an evening wedding. Have fun!

Very cute. If it is in a house of worship I would also bring something to cover your shoulders.

I mean, like I said in my thread, I don''t get the anti-red thing

but it sounds like it really is a personal choice. It''s just whether YOU would feel comfortable in it, because it''s not likely that anyone else would look and you and think "inappropriate!!"

Very pretty! That color is beautiful and is not that bright red that I think they might have been talking about anyway. That dress is made just like the black one my daughter is wearing to a wedding this weekend. I don''t think she is planning to wear anything over her shoulders...I don''t think that applies to most churches these days where we are anyway. Maybe it varies, though.

You look great! I think as long as you don''t wear white or something that attracts too much attention, it''s all good!

I think that red is fine.

I know when I think "No red at weddings," I mean more of a Jessica Rabbit style red.

I think it looks great!

maybe take a pashmina or similar wrap for the church. I tend to like having one around, because inside can be so cold during the summer. Also, that way you can cover up if you are feeling a little bare earlier in the evening, and then at the rehersal ditch it and you clutch on a table and dance away!

It looks lovely!!!! Awesome style and cut on you.

aww gee...lots of blushing going on, at this end of things. Thanks everyone for responding, as I did buy this specifically for a wedding I have coming up.

I did debate in the store about the whole red thing, but the SA kept saying that it would be alright (and they didn''t have it in any other colors) Still, that niggly voice of not wanting to step on another''s toes with that last thread convinced me I needed to just put it out there to you savvy women.

The pashmina idea is much appreciated, I will be sure to grab one from a street vendor before summer officially hits NY and they disappear.
