Help me find a dress, PLEASE!
SIL is getting married in July, in Florida. I am not in wedding, DD is the Flower Girl, DH is an Usher and wearing a suit. I'll be in family photos.
The ceremony is at 6:30 pm on a Saturday. Reception to follow. Ceremony is outside, reception inside.
I'd think that means something fairly formal.
The couple has said casual but nothing about the place, the timing or the wording of Save the Date or Invitation indicates that.
I've bought and returned 3 dresses so far, please help me figure this out. All suggestions are appreciated.

Re: Help me find a dress, PLEASE!
5'8" size 12 and still losing weight but loving how I look.
Color not a huge issue but I don't want black or white.
Strapless is fine. I just don't want anything too short. Just above knee is shortest. Not sure if long is appropriate but I think it would be.
That's my biggest problem, I need something that won't be crazy hot during the outdoor ceremony (Florida in July). but appropriate for a Saturday night wedding at an upscale spa resort. I also want to look aprpropriate along side my daughter who will be the flower girl and DH who will be in a suit as an usher. I've never had this kind of trouble figuring out what to wear.
Here is what I thought I'd love but returned because I found it too short:

I forgot about Estelle's. I haven't been there in years. I'll have to go check them out. My only concern is twice I saw women in the same dress at weddings and they were from Estelle's both times.

Re: Help me find a dress, PLEASE!
Love the last one. Would this be appropriate or is it too floral for a Sat. night.

That's what is making it so difficult for me. I know it can be more casual in FL but many guests are from NY and the place is very upscale. I agree that last one I posted is probably too casual. DH works for Bluefly so I've been watching the dresses there. Here are a few I like. What I'm finding that I like is either long or too short for me.
Love this:
This is bluer than it is in the photo. Would love if it was shorter.
This one is currently in the cart.
Are the long ones too formal?

Re: Help me find a dress, PLEASE!
Found two shorter length ones that I like.
Too matronly? I'm 38.
I like this one too.
This one is probably a little to young for me but I love it.
This one just popped up.

It's down to these two. I'm ordering both from Bluefly and returning whichever I don't choose. Thanks for all your help and input. The images everyone posted helped answer my "how fancy" question. I'd have bought one of the dresses from Nordstrom if it weren't for DH's discount.
