For spring, it's often wet and cold, I'm with others that layering will be helpful. Or perhaps add a shawl if you really want to go with this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-dress#post-2406017 Tue, 10 Feb 2026 16:45:57 +0000 lyn67 2406017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress but which is the other? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-dress#post-2405967 Mon, 09 Feb 2026 22:56:27 +0000 Aquamarine 2405967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie…that seems to be the general consensus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-tie-dress#post-2405944 Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:11:33 +0000 Angie 2405944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very pretty dress!&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, like others mentioned, it does look a little too breezy and casual though, <i><b></b></i><b>Aquamarine. </b>Perhaps find something warmer and more dressy.

That is a plus because I am always cold and I didn’t want to fuss with a wrap.

Venue is at a city hotel in the Northeast. Women have been asked to wear dark colored dresses. Do you think this dress from Anthropologie would work, with appropriate accessories?&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I already purchased a dress from Nordstrom that is definitely black tie, but was looking around and saw this and felt it was a bit different than my usual style…for some reason, I am drawn to it.</p> <p></div> </p>
