Hello All & Good Morning!
I am going to my Uncle's wedding and my sister is loaning me a dress to wear to it. This dress is very classy and dressy, but I don't know if the colors are appropriate. It is solid black with a champange colored bow going around it. On the front of the bow, there is a circle with rhinestones going around it. It has a pettycoat going around the bottom underneath to make the dress look full. It goes to my knees and is halter. Tell me. Is this appropriate?

Honest to goodness... there is NO PROBLEM wearing black to a wedding. I don't know what rock some of these people are living under. I have seen many people wear their "little black dress" to a wedding. As long as the fit is flattering. And if the church is not ultra strict and conservative, a halter style is fine, if it is appropriate for the weather! Good grief! Halter too sexy? Have they SEEN wedding gowns? They come in halter, strapless, spaghetti straps. If it's not tight and short, with a low cut v neck, it's probably NOT "too sexy". It sounds like it might even be a former bridesmaid's dress.
If it fits well and looks good on you, wear it with pride and confidence.

It sounds like a great dress! However, I would only suggest wearing it to a late afternoon, evening wedding (something that will run into the night time hours) because it sounds a bit too formal for a morning or daytime wedding.
However, your colors sound fine, black seems to be regional in america, here in the North East black is normal, its weird to see women in colors rather than black, but I know in the southern states black is totally off limits. So you have to look at where you live, I would say that if your sister is lending you the dress for the wedding that its probably ok because she wouldnt let you wear it if black was taboo in your area, unless she hates you, which I doubt!
Good luck!

I think you're going to get a lot of people tell you that black isnt appropriate. But black is fine nowadays. Its classy and timeless.
A little background info would be helpful. How old are you? What time of day and what is the location of the wedding? Is it formal? Semi-formal? That kind of info will help people to determine if its an appropriate info.
The only thing that concerns me in the halter top. Make sure you at least have a cover-up (sweater, carrdigan, shrug, something) if the ceremony is in a church.

a hoop is an emblem, it would not define. i recently lost my wedding ceremony band - it slipped off on the same time as we've been planting this previous spring. I actual have worn that ring for merely approximately 24 years now. that's probably going considered one of the few textile issues that had which ability. I remind myself that's in basic terms a fabric 'ingredient' yet i'm unhappy that's long previous. we've not got the money on the 2d to replace it, yet we can quicker or later. So, authentic now i'm married and not donning a hoop (I on no account needed an engagement ring). i attempt to humorous tale approximately it - I tell my husband to maintain his distance as quickly as we are out as i could be able to %. somebody up - lol. additionally, i understand couples who're allergic (I actual have a chum who can not placed on any steel) or whose jobs require they placed on no rings. each and every so often there are stable reasons human beings do not placed on a hoop whilst married. I probable would not word if somebody replaced into not donning a hoop. It would not count to me.

Too flashy because of the rhinestones. Not appropiate for a day or afternoon wedding. Rhinestones should inly be worn for evening formal events, unless you are in Vegas.
Halter is a bit to showy and sexy
It's solid black
I'm sure the dress is gorgeous, but not appropiate for a wedding. You should try to dress conservatavely and in summery, lively colors.
Good luck

Sure. Sounds pretty. Don't worry about it being black. As long as it doesn't look like you're going to a funeral it's fine to wear black to a wedding. It sounds very lovely. Have fun!

If it's a formal evening wedding, it would be quite appropriate. If the wedding is during the day, it would be too formal. It the wedding is during the day, a cute skirt and top will be just fine.

The only color that you are not allowed to wear is white.....Only the Bride should wear white at the wedding. I have been to many weddings and women now wear any color they want. Just be yourself.
If you like the dress and you are comfortable with wearing it do......
Another idea is the wedding at night? Night weddings tend to be more formal than an afternoon wedding.....but then again the attire changes if it's an outside wedding......
I wore a black suit to my friends outside wedding......it was gorgeous.

In the USA they seem to be REALLY hung up about guests wear, thankfully in the UK we are a bit more chilled out about it, come to my wedding and wear that dress, it sounds perfect to me. I would have no issues with it at all. Black is only a funeral colour in our culture, in India they wear white, so technically they would see all white brides dresses like funeral dresses, it's all about culture.

Doesnt sound like there is any problem with the dress to me. I think it would be ok to wear to a wedding.
