Also, I'm really nervous about renting a dress and the possibility of it not fitting or me not liking it in person. I figured if I buy a dress, I can always resell it later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732589 Fri, 05 May 2017 07:42:25 +0000 cat620 2732589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I found it on the Dillard's website.

Only suggesting because if I was in your position, I wouldn't wear that dress again. Just my two cents! 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732555 Thu, 04 May 2017 22:41:41 +0000 youboots 2732555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: where is it from?

Been to enough black tie events and the bottom looks the most black tie. Also, personal preference, don't really like too much floral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732460 Thu, 04 May 2017 16:05:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 2732460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pink!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732459 Thu, 04 May 2017 16:05:13 +0000 Pumuckl 2732459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: that pink dress is beautiful and totally appropriate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732456 Thu, 04 May 2017 16:01:37 +0000 youboots 2732456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: team pink red all the way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732435 Thu, 04 May 2017 15:33:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 2732435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love that pink one and think it's perfect for spring black tie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732433 Thu, 04 May 2017 15:33:41 +0000 skipra 2732433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the pink one! The last one doesn't even look great on the model so I'm doubtful it would look good on a regular person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732399 Thu, 04 May 2017 14:17:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2732399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: im considering the first one for a black tie wedding in Vegas. Biased, but I think it works for black tie. Eta: the fabric is dressy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732390 Thu, 04 May 2017 14:12:07 +0000 Ms. RV 2732390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the pink one and think it is great for a black tie spring wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732389 Thu, 04 May 2017 14:08:30 +0000 winniebee 2732389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: I like that first pink dress a lot - the second one is a little bit too "prom" for my taste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732370 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:48:08 +0000 cat620 2732370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are two others I'm considering. I'm not sure if the first is too bright, but the reviews say people have worn it to weddings. The second dress I don't like as much, mainly because of the seam running down the middle in the back of the dress, but it probably looks more black tie that the others. </p> [attach=5723/17/opfyw8.517x600.Magenta.jpeg] [attach=5723/17/opfywa.517x600.twilight.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732369 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:46:57 +0000 winniebee 2732369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree the dress is beautiful, but not formal enough for a black tie evening wedding at the Ritz! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732368 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:45:24 +0000 cat620 2732368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the responses! It looks like most of you think the dress looks like more of a daytime dress, so I'll keep looking </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732360 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:37:06 +0000 pwnstar 2732360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not wear this to an evening/black tie event. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732339 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:04:45 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2732339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even for a Spring/ Summer time wedding it doesn't seem formal enough for a hotel/ ballroom venue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732338 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:04:32 +0000 SweetiePie 2732338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's beautiful but to me it looks like a maxi dress I'd wear in the daytime. I think even if it's a nice material it will look that way from afar, especially if in a dim room. I personally would do something more traditional black tie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732337 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:02:54 +0000 cat620 2732337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: @T.H.O.U.: It says polyester/nylon on the website. I haven't see the dress in person yet, but it's on sale online, so I was going to take a chance and then return it if it doesn't work. It has lots of good reviews! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-wear-this-dress-to-a-black-tie-wedding#post-2732335 Thu, 04 May 2017 13:01:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2732335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree if the fabric is a nice material then you'd be fine. </p>
