My cousin's wedding is coming up, and the invite describes it as "black tie." I checked the Wikipedia article on exactly what this means, but it was pretty vague. Mostly what I figured out was that what's appropriate length-wise depends on the time of day of the event. The wedding's at 3pm, and both my family and the groom's family are pretty conservative, so I probably don't want anything too risque (I was considering wearing a tux, but they'd probably keel over at that point. No cross-dressing with this crowd, sadly!) I own these two Helmut Lang dresses, but I'm not sure that either of them is appropriate. The first one has a lot of white, and the second one is pretty body con on me, which is both possibly not appropriate and a problem if there ends up being a lot of eating.
ETA: I found a skirt that I think works really well and I've posted pictures of the outfit I'm planning on wearing. Thanks so much for all of your help! The up close detail is of the housecoat I'm wearing.
