It will keep you warm but still show off your waist. </p> <p>That's what I did to top off a long sleeveless dress as Mother of the Bride for a mid-October wedding in the Cape Breton highlands. Pictured below, it has also proved useful to winterize other semiformal wear (here, for the symphony) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/appropriate-for-semi-formal-afternoon-wedding#post-2370978 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 06:32:02 +0000 Star (Lise) 2370978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely! And yes to a shawl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/appropriate-for-semi-formal-afternoon-wedding#post-2370974 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 01:51:05 +0000 Aquamarine 2370974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is perfect for a 2 p.m. wedding. I’d go with a lightweight shawl/wrap so as not to obscure the dress. Unless the wedding is outdoors, you’ll likely warm up quickly, especially if there is dancing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/appropriate-for-semi-formal-afternoon-wedding#post-2370970 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:55:07 +0000 MsMaven 2370970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks ideal to me. I agree on the wrap idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/appropriate-for-semi-formal-afternoon-wedding#post-2370961 Thu, 26 Sep 2024 00:03:17 +0000 Lisa 2370961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*waving to my fellow NC YLFer*</p> <p>That's a beautiful dress and I vote yes to wearing it to the afternoon wedding. I second the shawl/wrap idea. This pink one looks lovely paired with a silver dress in the stock photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/appropriate-for-semi-formal-afternoon-wedding#post-2370957 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 22:14:10 +0000 DonnaF 2370957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress! Would something like this work? A friend borrowed it recently to go over a long magenta dress at a beach wedding. Dressiness may be related to the fabric of the dress; hard to tell from the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/appropriate-for-semi-formal-afternoon-wedding#post-2370955 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 21:40:27 +0000 JennyK (NC) 2370955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Hi friends,</div><div>I bought this dress in July for a high school reunion. I really like the dress (wish I had a better photo of me in it!). I'm going to a wedding next weekend. It's at 2pm and the attire is semi-formal. I was going to buy a new dress, but thought I could use this one. The wedding is mid-October in the North Carolina mountains, so I expect I will need something to cover my shoulders. I've lost at least 10 pounds since this photo was taken, so I really want to show off the flattering fit! I included a picture of the dress in the ad so you can see it a bit better.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. Is this an appropriate dress for a semi-formal afternoon wedding?</div><div>2. What are some ideas for providing me with a bit of warmth, but not hiding my figure?<br /></div> </p>
