I love the dress and the shoes!! Get the straps tailored and it will be perfect.

Thanks, guys. I think this is the dress, although I'm keeping an eye out for a petite. It keeps popping back in different regular sizes lately so it's not out of the question that a petite will appear.

So I think I am set for dresses for the two events immediately around the wedding, although there is still another reception in June (for Boston people that were not invited to the wedding) that will need a dress as well (another cocktail dress, not black) but I still have a little time for that.

I do have a question about what bag to carry w/ this but I will start another thread for that!

I love how it looks in #4! Knockout with the straps shortened!

WOW Diana! This is gorgeous on you. The color and style are just perfect for you and the occasion. I think once you get the straps altered, it will be SMASHING!

I also really like those sandals.

The style and colour is fantastic on you. I would keep this size and not consider sizing up as it would be too large. I think it would be worth getting the shoulders tailored.
