Too Dressy?

As I mentioned last week - I've got a wedding to go to this Saturday and in typical MB fashion, I wait until the last possible second to go dress shopping.  Procrastination, FTW!

I just picked up these three today at the mall and need help deciding.  Picture these girls with some actual hips - so they don't really "hang" on my legs - they hug some curves.

Wedding is at 6pm.  It's not black tie - but most women will be in cocktail dresses.

So A, B, or C?

Re: Too Dressy?

  • I vote B or C... I would prob. wear C simply because I think you'll get more wear out of it in the future.  Wear some sparkly shoes and jewelry and I think it's fine for evening.

    I also love love B, so that would be my guilty pleasure dress.  And the sparkle does not overwhelm me as much as A does, which I think might draw too much attention.

  • I love B.  But also love the color of C and you might get more use out of it--B is kind of memorable but with different shoes and jewelry C could look different

  • I need more information on B - what kind of material is it?

    No to A unless you're going to a club :) I do love that dress though.

  • I love A too - and I needed a reason to justify the purchase.  I haven't been to a club in years and $125 is a little much to just hang out in my closet.  I'm not so sure it's appropriate for the Christmas party either.

    B is sequined overlay with a polyester type lining underneath.  The overlay isn't clingy or anything.  Satin ribbon.  

  • B is awesome.

    I think I might vote B then.

    I would wear A to a Christmas party if it was at night. I was being kind of sarcastic about a club :)

  • B looks a little too disco for me, if you want sparkle then A. I really like C too and like someone else said, you would probably get more use out of it.

  • C is more appropriate for a wedding...to me. B would be my second choice.

    I agree with this.

    I think it would depend on the location/tone of the wedding as well. 

  • I love A, but think you should wear C. C would get more wear in the future.
  • I also agree with C, but I'm not much of a sparkle person anyway :-)

  • Eh, I'm not a big fan of B. I say if you can rock A, do it! It's hot. (And the color would totally wash me out). C is fun too, though. Orange is a great color, but it's more balanced out because the fabric is a little more conservative.
  • Yea for sparkle I kind of love A.  Throw on a black dressy cardigan and you've instantly made it more conservative (if you need it to go conservative to something).  I'd 100% wear that to our office Christmas party.

    C is also cute, and I know you said you wanted orange the other day.  I think C is 'safer' and so also a good option.

    I don't care for B.

  • I love A, and I love B. And I would rock them if I had your body.

    However, I agree that C is probably the most wedding appropriate/you could wear it again and again. . .

  • I like A and C, but I think I would wear C to a wedding.
  • I love A, but not for a wedding. B is my favorite otherwise!

    I agree.  I think C is the safe option.  And you could totally rock A to an evening Christmas party or out for NYE.

  • I LOVE A! I would probably rock it to an evening wedding and its perfect for Christmas parties/NYE/birthday fabulousness:)  I adore sparkle:)

    I do agree that C is the safer option.  Very cute and can be worn for a number of events. 

  • I really like A, but agree with PP that C may be the way to go. I think you could definitely get more wear out of C, but I would find any excuse to wear A. They're all pretty dresses and I'm sure you'll look fab in which ever one you choose!
