where is the Wedding at? If it is in the south US, this is not an appropriate dress for an outdoor summer wedding. In the first place you will sweat yourself to death and have huge sweat marks on the pretty lavender. A cotton or linen sundress in the same colors but knee length would more appropriate and more comfortable Cocktail dresses should be for the cocktail hourand evening gowns for the evening. Apparetnly in other parts the rules are quite different. Northeners wear very sexy and very dressey dresses to a morning wedding.
The wedding is where the invitation is: Canada. Besides, I am highly heat-resistant.
You know, I looked at that picture a couple of times, trying to figure out if she made a fashion faux pas or not with that combo (cause, you know, my opinion on it is pretty important in the grand scheme of things), and I have to agree with the comment that the look was pretty old for someone so young, but someone like Olympia Dukakis could probably have pulled it off. So much depends on a red ruby necklace.
