Like many other bees, I really want to wear a short, white lacy dress for the rehearsal dinner, ideally off the shoulder. I have found some really lovely ones, but why are they all mini dresses? It’s cute, but not a look I can personally pull off.
Has anyone seen a white lacy off the shoulder dress that reaches down to the knees? Something like this but longer and ideally with a more portrait neckline. Sleeves don’t have to be long. Thanks!

I have no idea why, but I agree its frustrating. I don’t want to moon any future family members at our rehearsal.

Try H&M. i saw a similar dress there like this one a few months ago. They had it in white, cream, light pink, and couple of other colors I believe.

I think the high hem is like that to balance out the formal and traditional feel of the lace. Anyhow, I agree it’s frustrating!

@hollyberry4: Thats really pretty!
All I have to say is: Ugh, I agree. I’m 36, I can’t walk around my rehearsal dinner in a miniskirt!

@hollyberry4: oooooo i like it! can it be pulled off the shoulders slightly? is it a wide neck?
@malouloune: loooove the neckline! but it’s a little expensive for me. is this the website you’re ordering from or you found a better deal?

@LilDrAnya: It zips all the way up the back. If you know how to alter things (which I do not, unfortunately haha), you could make a V in the back to widen the shoulders.

Not an off the shoulder dress, but for my shower I wore a short sleeve lace panel dress from Forever 21 and it was surprisingly long for that store – came to just above my knee. It was surprisingly higher quality lace than I would have expected. No one believed me when I said I got it at Forever 21!

@hollyberry4: I bought that dress for my rehearsal dinner as well! It’s so beautiful in person. 🙂 I’d describe it as peach-colored though.
