    So I was browing the awesome website unique-vintage.com website, and found this adorable dress!  I think it's fun, and just so adorable. However, i think it's too much for a rehearsal dinner dress (especially since it's under the prom dress section!, but wanted to get other opinions, and thus, I come to you!  Please let me know what you think!

    I do love the dress...but it's a bit much for a rehearsal dinner.  I think you're on the right track-to stand out-but this is too much for my taste.

    I think it depends on how formal your rehearsal dinner is. I know some girls have rehearsal dinners that are almost as formal as their wedding receptions - if this is your case, then I say go for it! If not, you might want to choose something less formal. Just a thought.

    You're the bride, you're the one who sets the mood. Pretty sure no one is going to say that you over/underdressed for your OWN rehersal. If you love it, WORK IT! Besides, how many other times in your life are you going to be able to wear that dress. If you can pull it off, GO FOR IT!

    I didn't vote.  But I don't see it as something that's inappropriate for an RD.  I wouldn't really worry about it in the prom section.  To me it doesn't look like a prom dress.  IDK.

    First off, I totally feel that your wedding weekend is one of the only times you can get away with wearing something you might not normally wear.  This dress is too cute to pass up!  And being that you're the bride, you're allowed to wear whatever your heart desires!  :)

    We're doing a dinner at a winery, and then fun, light, IPod-fueled dancing after-the place is set up with a dance floor already.  I think I just love the dress and am trying to find an excuse for it.    

    Thank you all so much for your opinions!

    im going to wear a tea lenght bridesmaid dress from davids bridal for the rehersal dinner.  I think that it is a time to have lots of fun and dress up dress up dress up.  I never have the chance to dress up so that is why im going too :-)  That dress you picked is fun and that is all that matters.

    I think it's incredibly fun and could easily either be dressed up or dressed down.  Are you an adventurous dresser? Because I know I am, and whatever the occasion, my family wouldn't bat an eye if I showed up in something playful like this.  If you're the same way, don't even think twice, get it!  And even if you're not, get it anyway haha.  It's really cute and you're the bride, you're supposed to stick out!

    I really really like that dress but I think it depends on a few things. What is the "theme" or formality of your rehearsal dinner? Where is it being held? etc Also, do you often wear things that are a little bit different from the norm? If so, go for it! You will look adorable and I'm sure you will recieve many compliments.

    Wow, it looks like a cupcake with sprinkles!  Now I'm hungry.  You can wear whatever the heck you want to your rehearsal dinner, although if you're rehearsing in a church I'd probably recommend something else...  Cool

    I think if you love it and it's "you" then definitely wear it. If it's not something you normally wear, then probably tone it down a bit. Just be you!

    I think it's super cute!  If possible I would probably remove a layer of tulle though to make the skirt less poofy but that's just me.

    I think it is adorable, and if I thought I could get away with wearing something like that, I totally would. I wouldn't care how formal or not formal the dinner is. I say, if you want to wear it, go ahead. It is one time in your life where you will be the shining star :-)

    You have to wear this dress!! It is sooo cute! The wedding weekend is your time to celebrate and feel beautiful and have fun. I would look at how you accessorize it. Flats or heels can change it a bunch. So can jewlery. I say go for it and have fun styling it!

    I kind of feel like it is a little bit too much for a rehearsal dress. A lot of people are saying that you can't be overdressed for your own rehearsal, but I would personally hate to make other people feel like they were underdressed by overdressing. Does that make sense? lol. That being said, it would be really cute to wear for e-pics if you haven't already done them.

    Who cares?  Wear whatever you want!  In my opinion you can't ever be too much or too formal.  The only faux-pas I think a bride could make would be to wear jeans or something like that, or to wear something too sexy (though that's seriously just my opinion).  I say wear it!

    I was looking at very similar styles of Sherri Hill dresses to wear for a pre-wedding party at my cousin's villa (we're doing Destination in cabo).

    I think if you have the personality to match — which I bet you do since you picked such a fun dressGO FOR IT!

    Honestly, I think the dress is a little too young.  It reminds me of something from the juniors department.  But like everyone else said, it's your RD, you set the mood, and you get to wear whatever you want.

    I think it is cute.  You could always take it to a seemstress and have her take the pettiecoat down a little so it's more flat.  I would dress it down with maybe a black three quarter length cardigan sweater and some low heels or flats.

    I'm thinking that your rehearsal dinner is the perfect place to wear that dress.  You set the tone so go for it.

    I agree with Chillmer: It's a little young/ junior High-ish. A little too over the top for my taste. But to each their own.
