to me. sat afternoon can still be "dressy" i would get something a little dressier.

Re: Is this dress ok for a Sat Afternoon Bar Mitzvah?

I guess I'm thinking it's ok because temple is at 10:30 and then a luncheon at some fancy place right after. It's not a drop dead over the top wedding type Bar Mitzvah.

Also, even though I'm 4000 sizes bigger than this model I rock this dress. It's a bit form fitting. I have nude shoes and bag and funky earrings and a bracelet.

Now I could accessorize fancier.

I think that would be fine, but you could go dressier. I just went to my cousin's Bar Mitzvah last Sat and I broke down and bought a new dress. It was a sheath like that, but a brocade material with jewels and pearls at the neck. Other people wore pretty dressy dresses as well.

I think it's perfect since it's not a very formal bar mtizvah. I've been to some that are like sweet 16s even though they are during the day. Cute dress!

I agree-I like the dress & if it is just a luncheon I think it's great.

If it was going to be at a hall, with a DJ, etc, I'd go a little fancier.

Let's hope that it's just a luncheon..that's what I was told. It's at a military academy in Kings Point or something. I have to dig out my invite.

It is the wealthier side of the family...but the $500 Nicole Miller was just out of my budget!

I haven't seen these people in 10 years and I never met the kid.

I always feel ANYTHING goes anymore for events like this or weddings, you'll have people formal & pretty casual. I think that dress is totally fine.

Re: Is this dress ok for a Sat Afternoon Bar Mitzvah?

I could get a fancier wrap to cover for temple anyway.

Yes, that's the place.

They said originally it was going to be a big all out affair but now it's just a luncheon.

I'm sure there will be a DJ and such but I don't see it as a big affair where and evening dress is appropriate.

My mom got a beautiful white cotton jacquard sheath dress with matching bolero from dress barn. I think that is the fanciest thing she has worn in a decade.

I wanted color. I have a gazillion black dresses.


I went to a communion a few weeks ago in a white sheath dress with heels and I was dressed better than the mother of the kid having his communion.

How does one know how to dress?

The mother of the Bar Mitzvah kid is gettng a dress made..that I expected.

Here?

This seems more like a regular hall, but I still think your dress is fine. I wouldn't spend $500 on a dress for an event for a kid you never met!

Sometimes I find that wealthier people actually don't go all out & over the top with the the sparkly dresses & such. I guess because going to a fancy place isn't that big of a deal? Not sure--That's so not my life!

if anyone has other ideas, I welcome them. I've been combing zappos.

I ordered two others in a slightly fancier material from Nordstroms. Wish me luck.
