I’ll be a guest at my husband’s cousin’s wedding in June. It should be warm enough for a dress like this, and this is the one I’ve pretty much settled on.
\-the invite says “formal, black tie optional”
\-my husbands wearing a light grey suit white shirt and black tie
\-I like color but thought black would be classic and then I could accessorize it with my jewelry and shoes

My actual questions are:
\-is there anything about this dress that you think isn’t appropriate? My thought was if the slit is too high I will just hand-sew it lower or even throw a safety pin in from the inside

Most importantly!
\*what should I wear over it?\* for when we go out on the venues patio, if it’s chilly, to feel modest enough, and also I’m self-conscious that my arms are too skinny. Sounds like a good prob to have, but it’s not. I lost a lot of muscle there and my bicep part of my arms is thinner than my forearms!! Ahh!! So I’ll try to tone them in the next month lol but I want something like a sheer/lightweight shawl/pashmina covering.

As I’ve been looking for one, my problem is that a sheer black one for example, any black one, I feel I’m heading into funeral attire zone! And it’ll be summer so I would love a pop of color or pattern/texture
I don’t want it to be too warm or have fringed ends like a scarf
I think a lot of them look too mature for me.
I have 3 ideas so far, I’d be so grateful if anyone wants to share their opinion or ideas. Don’t worry about offending me or anything, it would just be helpful to hear any thoughts. And isn’t that serious lol I’ll figure it out, but thanks in advance if you have any comments. ♥️
I probably wouldn’t do the middle sequined one, but maybe! I’ve never worn anything lkke that and looks kinda fun.
