Of the long dresses, I prefer the third. The second seems a bit "bridesmaid" to me. Of course, it depends on how they fit, as they would all look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639637 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:35:54 +0000 celia 639637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or this</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/xscape-beaded-ruched-sheath-dress/3265091?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/xs.....sultback=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639633 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:32:35 +0000 celia 639633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for keeping you hanging .You raised a good question. the invitation only says the place, hour and that there is a reception after.<br /> There will be a wedding shower in a few weekends.

I am drawn to 2, 1 and 3 in that order, but any would be a winner on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639436 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:48:47 +0000 Suz 639436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing the others to say I'd have thought cocktail would be a shorter dress; but you can ask someone about that. </p> <p>All those dresses are gorgeous. I love the idea of one-shoulder on you. It will really depend on the fit - any could look spectacular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639425 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:44:12 +0000 Echo 639425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that full-length is different from cocktail. Do the invitations specify "black tie"? Generally a full length gown is only necessary if the invitiations state black tie, white tie or say formal somewhere. Of course, if you are comfortable in a full-length dress, then there shouldn't be an issue. Any of these dresses are beautiful, and none of them ought to be truly out of place (depending on the wedding location, anyway - rural areas tend to be less dressy than cities, and the midwest tends to be more casual than the east coast with the exception of some Chicago weddings). I like the styles of the first and second best, and I love the colour of the second dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639405 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:27:32 +0000 christieanne 639405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of cocktail as short dress but similar to what you picked. The long gown seems formal. Do you know the couple or family of couple that you could confer with?<br /> The long ones you picked are beautiful - especially like #2 and 3 </p> <p>I love something like this one:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/donna-ricco-pleat-trim-mock-two-piece-sheath-dress/3311489?origin=category&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=1064" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/do.....tback=1064</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639394 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:17:13 +0000 lyn67 639394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, all 3 are beautifull! Which one you decided on?

I wouldn't classify them as 'cocktail' dresses, though! I usually think of cocktail being non-floor-length (knee or midi). Anyway! It's hard to decide, because they would all look fab on you, but I think I'm leaning toward either of the purple! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639233 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:21:00 +0000 bj1111 639233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gowns are great esp as you tend toward dressier.</p> <p>love 3. great versatile shape that would be great with your shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639121 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:53:04 +0000 Ana 639121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the third one best, and the second one is close behind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cocktail-dresses-do-you-see-me-wearing-any-of-this#post-639118 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:50:51 +0000 rachylou 639118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are full on evening gowns!
