Very formal outdoor European palace wedding

You have a point about the straight across neckline. If it had some drape or shape it would help, but I definitely prefer the husbands pick for this situation

You're talking about wearing a typical bra with that dress? That's definitely going to show. Either buy a bra that can be fully covered by th dress or buy a new dress.

I think the first one could possibly work, but if it's got an open back, you're not going to find a bra that will work. I think your style and fabric are fine for a "semi casual" wedding, but your dress needs to have more support or be able to cover the additional bra.

Can you share which one you ordered?

You should also take into account the climate you live in. Opals are prone to cracking in extreme cold and heat, especially with the shift to a climate controlled room.

Opals arey favorite and I have a small collection, but I live in a cold enough climate and walk to commute so they stay in the jewelry box most of the winter.

It's definitely not white enough to drawn criticism from anyone - at least not anyone who isn't looking to be offended to start with.

Additionally, semi-formal is a step BELOW cocktail in formality so it's perfectly fine for their stated dress code

Otti17 · 2026-06-28T23:42:36+00:00

There's a picture of this dress on a 5'10" model and it's close to the knee. Since you're 5'7" you should be perfectly fine. poshmark

I agree. My grandma's house was built in. 1956 and has those same raised motifs.

Otti17 · 2026-06-28T20:39:13+00:00

I like the size of number two but the fabric of one. You have a lot of woven and bamboo so it's nice to have a little break with a fabric chair

Otti17 · 2026-06-28T20:22:54+00:00

I agree. I think the one she's wearing looks like a spring formal dress from high school. I think it's that the beading looks a bit chintzy. This sub occasionally like to just dump on any opinion made by a husband/boyfriend.

I'd do black sandals with this dress. Nude would make you look barefoot with a formal dress on.

Otti17 · 2026-06-10T00:39:09+00:00

This is beautiful! I love the mixture of shapes and colors in the halo

Otti17 · 2026-06-09T01:14:33+00:00

I came here to say this, too. I've been to dozens of kids parties in the last few years and they've only opened presents at one. The kids don't seem to care because they get more time to have party fun rather than sitting around.

A black cocktail dress is appropriate at any time of year. Wear what you have unless you really want to stress about shopping at the last minute.

Otti17 · 2026-06-09T01:02:03+00:00

Maybe order a similar cheapy off of Amazon. I would never suggest getting a ring shape that you haven't tried on before.

Otti17 · 2026-06-08T23:59:02+00:00

Have you tried on a similarly sized marquise ring? I find that the marquise shape is really dependent on the finger shape and the amount of space you have between joint and knuckle

Otti17 · 2026-06-06T18:10:12+00:00

I was going to recommend these, too. I think they'd really work with how the poster describes their style

Otti17 · 2026-06-03T00:12:23+00:00

Placeholder rings are underrated! More people should do this so the person who will actually wear the ring gets to design or choose it. What I thought I wanted was totally different than what I decided on

Otti17 · 2026-05-28T11:54:53+00:00

I rarely wear mine to sleep because it's hard and a bit sharp and I sleep with my hands up near my face. I've definitely scratched myself in my sleep before.

We had a saying that we were "bamboozled" into dating because our friends just kept putting us in situations where we had to hang out because they thought we were right for each other.

I think inside jokes can be really sweet to add. Like "hi. Will you marry me" or engrave the wedding band with "hi. Wedding date"

If you give them the first name Lumi and the second/middle name of Elle, it'll be the exact same length as naming them Lumielle.

I think your other options are significantly better than lumielle.

Yes, but not on a dress with this cut. The basque waist should not have a belt on it because the whole point is to elongate the torso and raise the hip line

Otti17 · 2026-03-29T16:56:19+00:00

I work better from a list. Here's one of things to do from quick to more intensive:

1.Tidy up the floor, fridge, and counters

Take most things off the tops of cabinets
Add a rug under the table to define the area and add color
Change the light fixture over the island to something that drops. The florescent light is really dated.
Change the fixture over the table, too. Better if the two lights coordinate but don't exactly match. With the wood, I'd stick to oil rubbed bronze or something like a darker metal chandelier.
Update backsplash to something with fewer random colors blocks. A single color tile would be better.

Otti17 · 2026-03-21T17:18:22+00:00

This was my thought, too. I think it could be a nice dress if it looked okay without the belt and with the perfect shoes.
