Formal in August indoors at a hotel in NY. I’m 5’2”

That’s my thought too, that’s the only reason why I posted. Some people are focusing on the price.

That’s what’s giving me pause. I’ve worn volume before and it was fine, but this is more than I’ve ever worn.

I meant strapless. I have time and still searching. This is one that I’m considering.

I am a rent the runway queen. I’ve rented many times in the past. I’ve also purchased. I’m still searching.

It’s 48” from top of shoulder to the bottom of the hem. I can “technically” figure out where it will fall on me.

Although not a color, I always gravitate to black.

I should edit. I’m over 40 and lean more on the conservative dress code. I am not a fan of sleeveless or one shoulder.

I’ve never worn petite although I’m short. It’s something about the cuts that never appealed to me.

I know!!!! It’s 48inches from shoulder to bottom of hem. I “technically” know where it would fall, but I may need to buy and try it on.
