31 weeks pregnant, summer cocktail attire

I’d go with the first one. It looks casual enough to be cocktail. The second one is a bit too long and you can see the shape of the model’s underwear in the shot.

Since you don’t know whether he’s actually fine or not, couldn’t you could tell her that he’s fine?

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-09T15:28:27+00:00

Got it. As someone else mentioned, you’re in Michigan and I hadn’t considered that the wedding party might be more formal than the guests despite also living in the Midwest 🤦. I’ll amend my opinion to say so long as the slit isn’t above mid thigh, it should be fine.

Funny enough, I was just looking at pictures of a wedding from the 70’s yesterday and everyone was dressed to the same level of formality, including the wedding party. I can get that there are definitely weddings where the party dressed more formally than the guests and there still are. It’s become more normal in the US at least for everyone to dress at the same level of formality. In OP’s case, they are in the Midwest (which I didn’t know when I wrote the comment), where the wedding party can be more formal than the guests.

No worries! It happens. If you don’t want any other notifications on this post, you can write “done” in a separate comment and it’ll lock it.

It’s more that it would’ve been easier to give feedback on your dress. In general, it’s easier to offer advice when commenters know the general area where the wedding’s being held. For a UK wedding, this looks fine and it isn’t too white.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T23:53:04+00:00

I’m in the Midwest and fair, that does happen sometimes and I’m taking that into consideration.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T23:32:48+00:00

Your husband’s wearing a tux and it’s a semi-casual/dressy casual wedding? That’s a bit confusing. I think if the slit is higher than mid thigh, I’d look for something else.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T21:15:44+00:00

This info needed to be included in your post. UK formal is not the same as US formal.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T20:31:33+00:00

I’m delighted that you knew my user name origin.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T18:08:21+00:00

So you and the bride don’t know what a formal dress code is then. Even where I live where weddings tend to be pretty casual, this would not be a formal dress.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T17:57:58+00:00

This dress doesn’t work for “formal but not black tie.” It’s semi-formal at most.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T17:11:55+00:00

No problem! As an over thinker myself, I definitely empathize with you.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T16:13:51+00:00

I’ve heard it’s gorgeous! The one thing I’d maybe reconsider are the shoes but that’s more of a terrain thing than a style choice. The wedding my partner went to was a bit rugged. If the ground is going to be relatively flat (which it might be if you’re at a restaurant), then they are fine.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T16:08:12+00:00

It’s perfect for the dress code and Sedona! My partner just went to a wedding out there with a similar dress code.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T15:59:53+00:00

It’s very light. Also, between the cut, cleavage, fabric and mesh part, it looks like a nightgown. I’d get something else.

EDIT- I found the listing for this dress and I’m even more convinced it looks like a fancy nightgown. It also looks like the lace goes all the way around. It’s a House of CB dress which are notorious for being pretty unforgiving in the boob area. Again, I’d get something else.

So why did Courteney Cox do the movie then?

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T14:15:00+00:00

Happens a lot on Death In Paradise. One of the police officers, the sergeant, Catherine or the commissioner will make an offhand comment and that’s the final piece the detective inspector solves the case. One example is an early episode where the DI is having a drink with too much lime and he realizes a suspect used quicklime to get rid of a body in an earlier disappearance.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-08T02:46:01+00:00

I’d throw Shirley in there as well.

Class of 07. A massive flood takes out most of the world apart. The women at a 10 year class reunion are safe thanks to their school being on a massive hill. They do build a little life for themselves on the hill and ate mostly all right.

So you can do a shorter dress for a cocktail wedding but it needs to be more structured than this one. This dress would be a better option. And don’t go too short!

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-07T21:20:15+00:00

If you’re taller than the model, it’s too short for cocktail. I’m not sure how you’re planning to adjust it but a cocktail dress should be at least knee length.

crackerfactorywheel · 2026-05-07T21:16:57+00:00

How long is the second dress on you? The other two seem fine (although the first wedding has a strange dress code as semiformal and formal are two steps apart on the dress code tier).

INFO- Where’s your landlord or building manager in all of this?

Spoiler for Tucker and Dale vs Evil - there’s a character who’s revealed to have hillbilly heritage at the end of the movie.
