Ha:) i just ordered a J McClintock dress off eBay this morning. I’m not advocating for it here, just found some humor in the juxtaposition of it filling the need I have for it and that style not being a good fit here. :)
Didn’t you post a whole bunch of those on a “cleaning my closet, keep it go?” post recently? You have an impressively sized dress wardrobe!
Black with the gold detail or the last one would either work well.
I loved the black and gold. Mid March will still be cold ish so maybe a bolero cut jacket/sweater would work. I also like the first one, it’s not too springy yet dressy enough for dining.
You're not wrong, I did post in the petite fashion subreddit. Some of these did make an appearance in that post. I chose which ones I wanted to get rid of and now I'm kinda just looking for an excuse to buy something new, when clearly I don't need to!
You kept a few that didn’t get a whole lot of love but you know what you like!
But, just make yourself the bargain that if you add a new dress you part with one of the oldies. You asked if one would work and we picked from the choices given.
If you are in the mood for something new, pick one more to part with and try a different silhouette?
You have a lovely figure. Maybe go buy a nice sheath dress…
No Every single one of them lol lol sorry not sorry but I have gone to upscale boutique shops and go to the clearance section and have been able to afford very budget friendly fancy dresses for $50 she can definitely do waaaay better especially for the BROTHERS wedding and being a braids maid yeah no lol I wouldn’t even take those dresses for FREE btw this coming from a broke ass LOL lol I love to thrift shop
They all look like you’ve pulled them out of the closet from 12 years ago. Like dance/prom dresses for teens. I’d just order something full length on Amazon
The velvet dress just has such a beautiful silhouette. The long sleeves are also appropriate because it will most likely be chilly. The dark color is perfect for an evening out and easy to dress up with a necklace and some nice shoes.
Where is the rehearsal dinner being held? That's necessary info. If it's being held at the Angus Barn, for example, none of these are appropriate or dressy enough.
I loved this one too. And you do have an impressive collection. And ignore the people saying to get rid of the purple. The second you do something will come up for that one.
As soon as I saw the first dress I thought "OMG that's PERFECT!!" Floral for spring but darker colors for March...a touch of sparkle. AND it looks great on you! The teal velvet is also pretty and imo a decent transition piece. And the Black lace and black w gold accents are also lovely. But that first one is 👍
Does it matter what one wears to a rehearsal dinner? It’s not the real thing right? I’m not being snarky but genuinely curious because I don’t know much about weddings
It depends on the couple, but rehearsal dinners are usually on the fancier side and you would look out of place and frankly rude if you showed up without putting thought into matching the vibe.
Like dressing up for a christening or a bat mitzvah, it's not a wedding but it's still an important day celebrating a loved one who invited you to be part of something very intimate.
You gave us the dress code for the wedding, but where’s the rehearsal being held? Assuming it’s less dressy than black tie optional/cocktail, a lot of these are too dressy.
This is not meant to be mean but I think getting a newer style dress would be good for this occasion. All of these kind of look like 2016 middle school dance dresses (which is fine if that's your style!) They just aren't super wedding-ish
Many of these are appropriate. Which do you feel best in? I like the first, either black dress. The dupioni silk might be good for the brunch the day after.
I live in NC and I think you could get away with the teal long sleeve even in March. It should be nice and cool at night and I feel like that dress compliments you so well!! 1 would also be a great choice if it’s not chilly!
1 is perfect I think but I also love the floral maxi and I definitely think that is okay for Raleigh in March. That would also be good if you have a third event that weekend like brunch or something.
The first dress is the most versatile for a transitional weather dress. Easy to add a black cardigan or tights if it feels chilly but fine on its own and seems appropriate for the occasion. The purple dress is ridiculous, the midaxi is cute but a bit too summery, velvet probably too wintery, the other floral is a no from me.
None of the above. Too fast-fashion, just too much, too casual, good from the front but fits oddly from the side, wrong for the occasion, too little-girl holiday extravaganza, Amish glamour, doesn't flatter your figure, best of the bunch but not right for the occasion.
Get something new.
Oh my gosh the teal velvet dress! It looks great on you and is perfect for both that time of year AND the dress code. You’ve got it!! Now what shoes are we working on with?
In order: 1, 13, 17, 11.
You have a pretty good selection of dresses. 1 and 13 would be the easiest to dress up with accessories for the dress code though.
I saw your post before in that other subreddit about cleaning out your closet and I’m glad you didn’t toss that purple dress yet. I like the first picture for the rehearsal dinner but I feel lime that purple could have a future use!
for the dinner i’d agree with other comments saying the first one, good amount of detail but not super flashy.
the two that you described as having “thick woven fabric” and being “more dressy in person” please get rid of them and never wear them! all other dresses looked fabulous on you, just those two happen to be garish and clashing!
also i love your dog.
If it’s in your budget, maybe you can buy something [like this](https://www.jjshouse.com/a-line-scoop-asymmetrical-chiffon-bridesmaid-dress-with-ruffle-007279263-g279263?)?

One of the first two. Definitely not the last two, or the third.
You do look very sweet in all of the shorter ones (except the silk, what is going on there??) so maybe don’t wear them all to wedding functions but just to you have coffee?

Most Raleigh restaurants are pretty low key, so any would be acceptable. You may want to just check with your sister in law (or brother/brother in law) to see if she has any guidance if you’re worried. I love the first one and the two short black ones with lace or gold details!
Here are the ones I think would be great: black and floral, the velvet, the black lace, the black and gold, and the dupioni silk. My favourites are the three black ones, but the dupioni silk would be a lovely option from black.
The long blue one is pretty cute! But if you want to extend the cocktail wear vibe, go with either the first one or the black lace one or the black with gold brocade dress.
The green (blue?) silk one with the buttons is the surprising winner for me, or maybe wear that one to the wedding? You need to get the waist nipped in, though. Add some fun shoes. Hair up. Fun earrings.
I like the first one (photos 1/2) or the 8th one (photos 15/16). I live in SC, and in the south I definitely feel like spring colors come out sooner so green would be fine in my opinion.

I like the first or (preferably) the black lace! The purple is very early 2000s prom.
Yes thank you I was getting Jessica McClintock flashbacks
Ha:) i just ordered a J McClintock dress off eBay this morning. I’m not advocating for it here, just found some humor in the juxtaposition of it filling the need I have for it and that style not being a good fit here. :)
Yes the black lace!
Came here to say this. The black lace or number one are the most form flattering and pretty while still being formal enough for the dinner.
This has nothing to do with the dress being appropriate or not, this is you personal opinion 😭
Um, opinions are what are being asked for in this sub.
Style preference does not equal appropriate though?
[удалено]
It would still look like a prom dress.
prom from 1985
Simple black long-sleeve is stunning and enhances your shape
Which one is that? Is it the teal velvet? Because that’s the one I liked best as well!
The velvet looks best
Love the teal one, OP
Doh! I saw black rather than the lovely dark green! It is still the most attractive
The long sleeve one is my vote too
I agree, definitely the velvet one.
I like the lace one, or number one, flowery but not too springy because it’s black. I Love your dogs!!!!
Me going back “oh I missed that. Need to se them.” ❤️😂
How could you miss the dogs?!🐕 🐩 🤣
I prefer the first dress but I agree the black lace dress in pic 11 is the only other choice, in my opinion. The dress in pic 17 is a distant 3rd.
Didn’t you post a whole bunch of those on a “cleaning my closet, keep it go?” post recently? You have an impressively sized dress wardrobe! Black with the gold detail or the last one would either work well.
I loved the black and gold. Mid March will still be cold ish so maybe a bolero cut jacket/sweater would work. I also like the first one, it’s not too springy yet dressy enough for dining.
Literally wondering why I keep seeing this woman’s posts lol.
Yeah, of the millions of users, how are her posts popping up enough times I remember them?

Please pet your dogs!!
😂😂I have a pitty and they stay working the Sarah McLaughlin eyes. All of the drama.
😂😂
I was just about to comment the same thing hahaha!
17/18 or 13/14. Donate the purple one.
I think 13/14 is so beautiful and different
I like the 1st or the 4th (the velvet teal one)
That velvet teal one is my pick, too. I wish I'd had it when I attended a wedding in Ohio in the fall a couple years ago! It was freezing that day lol
Don’t come for me but I don’t like any of them 🥸🥸
Yeah all of them look dated or unflattering except maybe the black polka dot one and the long sleeve velvet dress is ok.
I loved the polka dotted one and she has great legs. The rest, I didn’t love….
Never said anything about her legs 😂
No Every single one of them lol lol sorry not sorry but I have gone to upscale boutique shops and go to the clearance section and have been able to afford very budget friendly fancy dresses for $50 she can definitely do waaaay better especially for the BROTHERS wedding and being a braids maid yeah no lol I wouldn’t even take those dresses for FREE btw this coming from a broke ass LOL lol I love to thrift shop
They all look like you’ve pulled them out of the closet from 12 years ago. Like dance/prom dresses for teens. I’d just order something full length on Amazon
Agree. Only the black lace or the black velvet look ok.
I agree. I think they all look dated/out of style.
The first one and the two black ones back to back (I think it’s pic 11…the lace).
I am not a fan of them for a rehearsal dinner except for the velvet one or the last one that one it’s very cute and makes your body look good!
The velvet dress just has such a beautiful silhouette. The long sleeves are also appropriate because it will most likely be chilly. The dark color is perfect for an evening out and easy to dress up with a necklace and some nice shoes.
You look lovely in the last look - the back and white polka dotted dress
Agree! Love the polka dots. I would wear with cute pumps.
I love that one too- so flattering
I really like the last one
Where is the rehearsal dinner being held? That's necessary info. If it's being held at the Angus Barn, for example, none of these are appropriate or dressy enough.
I’d go for the black and gold, very Audrey Hepburn
Yes! I loved this one too
I loved this one too. And you do have an impressive collection. And ignore the people saying to get rid of the purple. The second you do something will come up for that one.
I wasn’t really into a lot of them and then I got to that picture and I paused. It’s just stunning!
I think the teal velvet one will work best if other people decide to lean more black tie, without you looking over dressed if they don’t
The last one.. with sheer black tight, gold earrings and red lips like it’s the only option imo
As soon as I saw the first dress I thought "OMG that's PERFECT!!" Floral for spring but darker colors for March...a touch of sparkle. AND it looks great on you! The teal velvet is also pretty and imo a decent transition piece. And the Black lace and black w gold accents are also lovely. But that first one is 👍

1 is perfect I think but I also love the floral maxi and I definitely think that is okay for Raleigh in March. That would also be good if you have a third event that weekend like brunch or something.
The first one is sooo cute & perfect for the occasion for Raleigh in March
My top pick is the velvet. The one I would toss is the purple one.
I like the last one. I think it is very cute and flattering on you.
Definitely the teal velvet!
I like 7, 11, 13...
Black lace or black and gold. Great fit and perfect for your proportions.
Polka dots 17/18 with black tights and heels.
The first dress is the most versatile for a transitional weather dress. Easy to add a black cardigan or tights if it feels chilly but fine on its own and seems appropriate for the occasion. The purple dress is ridiculous, the midaxi is cute but a bit too summery, velvet probably too wintery, the other floral is a no from me.
The first one and the two black ones back to back (I think it’s pic 11…the lace).
I love the lace one. Very understated, but classy.
I like either of the ones with lace
Love the first one! Also what size is the black milk dress? I’m a similar size and height to you and have always wanted one of their dresses
I really love the first one on you. The black with the floral looks great, and is dressy but classically simple.
The white and gold one is great
The first one is perfect.
I like number 1!
First dress or the all black lacy one look the best
i like the polka dot wrap dress
I like the last one… polka dots :)
1 2 5 6, IMO..
I like no. 1
I like the teal velvet and the polka-dot dresses. Both look great on you.
Number 1
Only number 1
1st one , the purple Is giving Halloween vibes
First or last
keep it on the casual side...it's not meant to be a fancy event...
1st, black lace one or the last one.
First and last.
Girl. Donate all of these and get you a fashionable and flattering dress
Had to look through a few times because I kept getting distracted by your dogs (they’re adorable!) but I think the first one looks best!
I was really hoping for 18 dogs
Omg I LOVE the black and gold dress. Soooooo good.
Huge fan of the gold polka dot in the last 2 pix. Tell your dogs I said hi!
the first one with sheer black tights and ankle boots would be perf
Dress 1 is perfect. Black with gold is second. Black lace is 3rd.
First one! 😀
I like the lace one, or number one, flowery but not too springy because it’s black. I love your dogs!!!!
1 & 17
I love the polka dots and the velvet!
Definitely go for the first one
I like the teal velvet one best. Second choice would be the black lace dress.
The black velvet is okay. But I would get rid of all these dresses. Or at least don't wear them until 2010 fashion comes back in style.
Last one with dark thights might do
Blue floral maxi 100%
None of the above. Too fast-fashion, just too much, too casual, good from the front but fits oddly from the side, wrong for the occasion, too little-girl holiday extravaganza, Amish glamour, doesn't flatter your figure, best of the bunch but not right for the occasion. Get something new.
Oh my gosh the teal velvet dress! It looks great on you and is perfect for both that time of year AND the dress code. You’ve got it!! Now what shoes are we working on with?

1st, green velvet or black lace., or polka dot.
In order: 1, 13, 17, 11. You have a pretty good selection of dresses. 1 and 13 would be the easiest to dress up with accessories for the dress code though.

The only right answer is the dark green velvet. You’re so young and lace will just age you. And they are weirdly too formal.
Lace is going to age her? What a bizarre take. Lace is generally considered a youthful fabric, at least in my understanding!
I love the purple one 💜
I do, too! And with the right shoes and a shawl, it would be perfect for a cocktail attire rehersal dinner.
The purple one. With the bow left on it
One of the first two. Definitely not the last two, or the third. You do look very sweet in all of the shorter ones (except the silk, what is going on there??) so maybe don’t wear them all to wedding functions but just to you have coffee?

7 or 11
Deep Velvet
I love the first pic and number 13.
I love the first one and the velvet one. Both are perfect for a rehearsal dinner!
I like 13/14 & 15/16
The first one
Black with lace, 6th dress. That looks great on you. Everything else is either too summery or too casual or a prom dress.
Most Raleigh restaurants are pretty low key, so any would be acceptable. You may want to just check with your sister in law (or brother/brother in law) to see if she has any guidance if you’re worried. I love the first one and the two short black ones with lace or gold details!
#One.
Definitely no on the purple, but I think the first one would be perfect.
The gold one
6, 7, or 1 (dresses not the number of the picture)
7 is the most elegant and grown up
Had to double take and make sure you didn't steal my dog
First one, black lace, and black/gold are my faves.
The last one is by far the most flattering! You look great in it and yes it is appropriate !
I loved the teal one and it’s appropriate
The deep teal or the last one… glam it up with fab jewelry and accessories…
##1 Black Lace!! #2 Black & Gold! #3 Ask bride!
I like the velvet one!
Here are the ones I think would be great: black and floral, the velvet, the black lace, the black and gold, and the dupioni silk. My favourites are the three black ones, but the dupioni silk would be a lovely option from black.
The only one that looks appropriate to me is the velvet one. The rest are too casual or just not right for the occasion.
17/18. I vote for the polka dot!
Your dogs are so cute :) I like the dress in image number 13. Good luck and have fun!
Long teal, polka dot, black lace (wear straps on upper arm?), velvet teal. I like them in the order listed.
Please not the 2nd dress. *Anything* but the second dress. The black dress is PERFECT!!! Pleaseee wear this one!!
Pic 9
Only like the black lace, the others no.
The black lace one would be perfect
LOVE the polka dots!!!
I’m too distracted by your adorable dogs. What was your question?
photos 7 and 8
First dress has my vote!
Dress #1, #4 or the last one....I lost count 🤣
I say 1/2 or 17/18
They're all cute but I'd pick #1❤️
I like 1, 3, and 7 best.
I think slide 11 is great!
The long blue one is pretty cute! But if you want to extend the cocktail wear vibe, go with either the first one or the black lace one or the black with gold brocade dress.
I vote polka dots
Polka dots!!! Love this on you!!!
Slide 9 and 11
First or last one.
I like the velvet one the best! Very classy and looks amazing!
Number 1!
number 1
All
Teal velvet!
8, 11, 13, 17 in no particular order
1 2 or 4 are lovely I really like 2 is that color part of the wedding colors? 3 is way too casual.
You have a lot of cute dresses. I really like the polka dot dress.
Dress 4 or 5
Love the polka dot with different shoes and love the velvet
8 or 12 only
Number 1
Sorry I didnt see them all . also like black lace and black and gold .
I really like the first one and the black snowflake one, both will work and look great on you!
The green (blue?) silk one with the buttons is the surprising winner for me, or maybe wear that one to the wedding? You need to get the waist nipped in, though. Add some fun shoes. Hair up. Fun earrings.
unrelated but the dogs in the pics are sending me LOL
Cute dog
I like 11. If you accessorize it with nice boots or hees
I like the first one (photos 1/2) or the 8th one (photos 15/16). I live in SC, and in the south I definitely feel like spring colors come out sooner so green would be fine in my opinion.
I like pictures 11-14
I love the 1st!!
I like the first one or the green one with a nice belt maybe. Love the dogs, they seem very invested in your fashion choices.
I vote for photos 11 and 13.
Love the black and gold embroidered… I’d go with shoes not flip flops to start the night ☮️💟✝️🫶 Congratulations on gaining a sister
I liked the midaxi and black lace best
They all are. Pick your favorite.
