    Hi Ladies -  I've been a long-time lurker, but infrequent poster for awhile now, but with my wedding coming up on April 17, I'm starting to have a lot of questions.

    Currently I have 3 dresses I could wear for my rehearsal dinner, and I'm torn.  I was just wondering what you wore/are planning on wearing to yours?

    I figured I'd upload pictures of my dresses to see if I can get some opinions.  Please forgive the crappy cell phone pics/lack of tan/makeup/bedhead.  Ha ha.

    I love the yellow dress.  It's fun, looks great on you, and is a great color!  I'm wearing a bright green dress that my FSIL bought me for an engagement present.  I just love the bright dresses for RD's.

    I echo Rosie Girl!!  Wear whatever is the most comfortable.

    I'm wearing jeans and a tshirt myself, so I have no other advice... never understood why the rehearsal dinner's are so fancy in the US.. lol ;)

    thanks for the lightening fast responses, girls! 

    for some reason the white dress isn't showing up in the post...i posted it again here.

    i was leaning towards wearing the yellow because our wedding colors are yellow and gray, but i worried that it made me look a little top-heavy. 

    i love the style of the white one, but not sure it suits my figure...the pink one i really like but wasn't sure about.what are you wearing to your rehearsal dinner :  wedding Maggy

    The yellow one looks so cute on you especially with those shoes (and as a side cute kitchen too haha)!  I def vote that.  I'm wearing bright green to my RD and white cocktail to post wedding brunch

    I love the yellow one! Very spring-y!

    I'm wearing an ivory short-sleeved CK dress that had a vintage 60s feel to it. It has a black patent leather skinny belt. Now I just need to figure out the shoes. I'm thinking some sort of closed-toe platforms to complete the vibe. And since the dress is neutral, my shoes are going to POP with color.

    I *love* the yellow on you :) how dressy will your RD be? the pink looks a bit more like a cocktail dress to me imho but that could just be the way I'm looking at it (could look a lot different with heels, hair, jewels, etc)

    Also, Welcome to WB!!

    Here is my dress for our cocktail attire RD

    sulli301 - i LOVE your dress. so pretty.

    goldilocks - yours sounds awesome!  i'm loving all the vintage dresses out there right now.

    our rehearsal dinner is going to be nice, but not overly fancy.  it's actually a nice irish pub, with dark wood interiors.  but i feel like anything goes at your own rehearsal dinner - i think the bride should stand out :)

    The yellow dress is cute but I really like the pink dress.  I like the detail on the shoulder and the dress is VERY figure flattering.

    Yellow yellow yellow!  It highlights your perfect shape and the color is so beautiful!!  I LOVE it!  I have no idea what I'm wearing yet, but I just ordered 4 dresses last night and when I get them I'll try them on and hopefully have a winner!  (Then send the others back, because I can NOT be buy four dresses right now!!)

    It kinda depends on where your rehearsal dinner is? I think the one shoulder one feels more formal and dressy? I think both look great on you though!

    Yellow looks good on you, but I really don't like whats going on around the neckline. I'm IN LOVE with the purple dress, which flatters you better too!

    mrsmdphd - haaa, I know what you mean, I HAVE to take two of these dresses back.  I have definitely done some damage on my credit card with all of these purchases :)

    You guys are so helpful, thank you!

    if it's dressy enough, wear that pink one! i love it. Otherwise, i love the yellow one. the other doesn't pop the way the first 2 do.

    Mine was at a more relaxed outdoor / cliffside place, so i wore a brown maxi dress, not a boxy one, with wooden beads and a halter.

    I think the yellow one and the pink one suits your figure the best.  The pink one might be a bit va-va-voom for a rehearsal dinner, but I guess that depends on how formal it's going to be.

    I like the pink! The yellow neckline looks kind of off to me... but it could just be the pic, perhaps!

    I vote for the yellow one-- it really makes your figure look good and it's so bright and cheery!!  But you HAVE to wear it with those fierce heels-- are they cow print?!  CUTE!!

    I love the first dress!! That's what I had in mind for myself. And those shoes are actually the ones I was looking at for the wedding but in the pink print they have! Super cute!

    i love all !! but, i think i lean towards the white ( even though the pink is my fav). I love the pink but it seems to "go out-ish" for me with the one shoulder.... you def rock all 3 don't get me wrong!
