So originally i went out looking for light colored dresses, something soft and pretty. Couldn’t seem to find what I wanted so I wound up with a black dress. The engagement party is at a beautiful home by the ocean in Nova Scotia and it’s cocktails and hors d’euvres(or however you spell it) starting at 6pm. Here is a link to the dress. Please tell me what you think. Also i’m 5″1, 120 pounds, the dress is not as short on me, and i am pretty flat chested so it doesn’t look that revealing. I was thinking of wearing flat sandals. Is it appropriate? Desperate for opinions, I really want to look great.

Do you have a picture of you in the dress? Judging by the picture it looks too short. But me also being a short person I understand that dresses that would normally be too short on some people aren’t too short on me!

Way too much skin showing. I would wear that to a club, but not an engagement party.

mimi1984: I actually like it. Since you’re only 5’1, I don’t think it will be nearly as short on you. I’d wear it to my own engagement party.

I don’t have a pic of me in the black dress- but i’ll post a picture of myself if i can find one so you can see what i look like- i’m a no makeup person too- my main concern is looking a little too surfer like. i was planning on wearing a cardigan. i’m not a fan of my arms….no matter what dress i wear it has to have a cardigan. My other option is this dress from jcrew, it comes in petite- i don’t know if it would look great on me- which color do you think would work? copy past the link and it should work.
