Wrap dresses are always nice. I would wear a little black dress for the military occasion. Something similar to one of these:

As for your wedding, congrats! I’d go for one of these looks… They’re simple and elegant but not out of your age range.

Most importantly dress appropriately. If this was just dinner out, you could get by with a lot more than you can at a wedding. I had a formal evening wedding and I know my family noticed people who were super casual in sundresses–a couple on my husband’s side even had the nerve to wear white. Sometimes for fall weddings girls will wear thigh high boots. I know they are super in right now but they are not wedding wear. Same with anything low cut. You may normally wear low cut things and your boyfriend may find them super sexy, but again not for a wedding. You don’t want to wear something strapless. It’s too revealing and you’ll just be yanking it up all night. Find out what kind of church this is in–many do not allow bare shoulders so make sure you are prepared for that.

Go classy. It’s better to be too formal than too casual. It shows respect. Nothing too trendy. The same goes with your hair and makeup. Don’t overdo it.

Most importantly, at most weddings alcohol flows freely. Do not have more than 2-3 drinks. If they are drinking, alternate your drinks with water. Pour the water in the same glass if you like holding a wine glass. But trust me–the sister can get drunk as a skunk but the new girlfriend doesn’t have that luxury.

Be open and honest. The first few times my cousin’s girlfriends have been brought around the family they tried to make an effort to be aloof and rude. She’d met my sister before and they hit it off so she spent the whole night doing that 9th grade conversation. The one that goes something like this: “You know–the thing. Yeah well that person we talked about did that thing that we said. I couldn’t believe it. So I….well you know. But we don’t want to mention that thing to you know who”. I’m not really exaggerating. I’m talking to her and asking her somethings about what her interests are and she suddenly turns around to my sister to have that kind of conversation. Most of my extended family rolls their eyes every time she’s coming around. You’ll probably like one sister more than the other but don’t make it obvious to the other sister, or the parents. Some of my cousin’s girlfriends have been aloof. They don’t want to talk about themselves at all which makes it seem like they are hiding something. You want to make sure you ask more questions than they ask you. Definitely listen more than you talk–but also be natural and share stories. Don’t feel like everything is a personal attack that needs to be blocked with a yes or no answer.

You probably won’t have any time to talk to the bride, but make sure you compliment the ceremony, flowers and dress to his mother.

Just be respectful. This is a big day that they have been planning for a long time. It’s not about you. Don’t expect to be entertained. Don’t be upset if your boyfriend has duties and can’t be by your side. Even for a minute b/c they will notice that one moment you are pouting or bored. Just make sure you are putting your best foot forward even though this is a crazy day. You may not think they are noticing what’s going on but I promise someone will tell them. The person you least expect will call them afterwards to tell them what you said–especially if it’s at all mean spirited.

Good luck and don’t be too nervous. After all these people are predisposed to like you. Your boyfriend likes you so they will too. You’d really have to try to make a bad impression. Just make sure you wear something his grandmother wouldn’t find too scandalous.

JC Penneys, Macy’s, and various other department stores usually have great black dresses year round and especially in the spring and summer (wedding season after all).
A wrap dress would be great because:
A) It is flattering on ALL shapes and sizes
B) It is adjustable and one-size-fits all (or at least most) and you could maneuver it around a belly without a problem in the event you were pregnant. You wouldn’t have to worry about being too big for your dress come wedding time.
C) You can buy them nearly anywhere because so many women love them. The wrap dress is a staple in most clothing stores.
D) They can be worn a lot of different ways so you could recycle is as a great party and date dress.

An empire-waisted gown with some belting or detail will be flattering. Without something to break up the line of the body, you’ll look like you’re wearing a tube sock.

You won’t have aggressive cleavage in the right bra.

Wedding guest style for her

* Informal Daytime: Short dress or suit (business attire OK for morning weddings)
* Informal Evening: Cocktail dress
* Semi-Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit
* Semi-formal Evening: Cocktail dress
* Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit. Hats and gloves optional.
* Formal Evening or Black-Tie: Long or dressy short cocktail (beading, glam accessories, wrap)
* Ultra-formal or White Tie: Long gown, extra glitz (furs, diamonds, etc.)

Do’s and Don’ts for Her

* Don’t wear white because it competes with the bride. There are plenty of other colors available.
* Don’t wear black or sequins during the daytime.
* Don’t worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers. You can’t possibly coordinate with everyone in the wedding party.
* Do wear something feminine and appropriate, out of respect for your hosts. Clubwear, overtly sexy clothing (strapless, see-through, etc) doesn’t belong at a wedding. If you have to ask if it’s appropriate, it probably isn’t.
* Don’t wear opera-length gloves (to top of arm) with anything but sleeveless or strapless gowns.
* Do take off gloves to eat or drink.
* Do use good judgment if the invitation doesn’t specify the formality of the event. A pastel suit or soft floral dress for daytime or a little black dress for evening (after 6 p.m.) will take you almost anywhere.

Whoa….really?

Someone has to say something. If it has to be you, so be it, but I think it’s better it comes from a friend or her mom.

Whoever has the talk with her shouldn’t necessarily persuade her, but just state their point of view and let her come to her own conclusions. For example; One might tell her the dress is really sexy and they don’t think sexy is necessarily the right direction for a bride to go in, at least not that overtly sexy. How will you feel about this dress in 5 years? Or when showing your wedding album to your grandkids? That’s a better approach than saying, you’re popping out of that thing, what is wrong with you, get something else.

Then at least your fiancee has been given this information and isn’t completely blinded by her dress excitement and is going forward set in her decision. Or, maybe she will come around?
