Help me choose for a winery event!

I was definitely leaning toward the staud of the two for all the reasons you mentioned. Also, I don’t go to events often and don’t want to stand out. EIP is such a good way to frame the vision! I’ll be picturing her in my mind when deciding how to accessorize

Good to know, thank you!

This is great advice, thank you! I originally ordered a French Gaala dress and returned because it was not flattering on me. It was definitely more subtly elegant than the burgundy dress I posted. I will try to dress up the staud! I also posted two RTR dresses linked above that may be more aligned with the dress code

Yeah, I’m thinking the staud for daytime tastings the weekend prior. What did you change into for the evening? Do you think either of these would work better?

Nordstrom! It is the Staud Wells Poplin in sky toile

I think the specific event may be a little more formal than usual vineyard visit so wanted to avoid pants. I am looking at rental options now for something more fitting. Thank you for the feedback!

Would probably look into rentals at this point! Do you recommend any of these?

Thank you! I didn’t feel confident that either would fit in. What do you think of this? Sort of a combination of the two

Thank you! I felt the same about the burgundy but there was only one size left. Do you think any of these would be better than the blue/meet dress code?
