Is this too cutesy? ETA - wanna help find me a dress?

I have two weddings coming up.

One in Bufflao on 9-10-11 and one in Philly on 11-11-11 (I know, my friends are witty).

I'm going single to both of them, no kids. Buffalo is friends and Philly is family.

I bought this and it fits great. But now I'm wondering if it's too cutesy-bootsy to wear to a wedding as a 36 year old woman.

I was going to pair them with a pair of 4 inch black peep toes.

Honest opinions are welcomed.

Re: Is this too cutesy?

IMO, yes. It's a very cute dress. More appropriate for the bridal shower than for the wedding.

Re: Is this too cutesy?

cute ... i'd say it depends on the wedding formality ...

Re: Is this too cutesy?

I think if you swap the belt out for something black and preferably satin and thicker, it'll make it look more formal

just my honest opition, i do think that it is too cutsey and i would not buy it for the wedding nor a shower.

good luck!

The answer to your question is : YES

Re: Is this too cutesy?

I think it is really cute in a good way! I may not wear it to a very formal wedding because I prefer sexy over cute, but I think a 36 year old can surely pull that look off. If I wore that to a bridal shower (unless it was my own) I would be the most dressed up gal there! (again, unless it was a fancy venue)

Re: Is this too cutesy?

I love the dress and would wear it myself as a 36 year old woman.
I am thinking though that if the wedding is more formal - like you say the Philly one is- I'd wear something a bit more dressy.

But for the Buffalo wedding I'd wear it.

Re: Is this too cutesy?

i went to college in buffalo and IMHO its not too fancy. they dont do weddings up there like we do.

philly...maybe be not fancy enough.

Re: Is this too cutesy?

I think the belt makes it look younger/cutesy. Can you change out the belt?

Re: Is this too cutesy?

I agree with the ladies who think it's fine for Buffalo. Upstate NY weddings are an entirely different animal.

Re: Is this too cutesy? ETA - wanna help find me a dress?

Okay - going to wear that in Buffalo. I think it will fit in with the rest of the attire up there.


Help me find something for Philly?

I'm a size 10. Nothing fitted as my *** and belly need some "refining".

The bridesmaids are wearing a mauvy-brown tea length satin gowns.

It's on 11-11-11. It will be gaudy as all get out. My aunt-to-be is obsessed with feathers and loves Gaga.

I need ideas.

What about something like this? From Nordstrom.



Though based on the reviews it's very short. Not sure how tall you are though.

Also from Nordstrom... I really like the color of this one and it actually reminds me a little of the original dress you posted, but maybe a more grown up version of it, KWIM?



ETA: Also from Nordstrom, kinda blingy.



Also Nordstrom, drapey and blingy.



Also Nordstrom. (Also comes in black and very light silver.)
