Does your job have a company holiday party? Would you consider this appropriate with nude heels? The invitation says cocktail but I don't want to over (or under) dress.

I think this is cute and work appropriate since the slit is in the front and not on the side. Only thing I would add is maybe try a more festive color? I usually wear green, red or black just for fun.

I love this! Do you mind sharing where it is from? I think its totally appropriate.

Love it appropriate

Yes! or some clear heels, or even strappy heels. Great job picking out this dress. You will stun the crowd!

This is a stunning dress! Excited to see you in it.

Let me just say that is such a gorgeous dress! You're gonne have to send us the link, if you'd please. It does seem appropriatr at least for me, even with the one shoulder neckline. It still has pretty good coverage and not to mention, stylish. You've got great taste.

I am sure you'll look gorgeous in that dress. Looks wholesome and stylish.

I would say yes and go for it! Love it!!!!!!!

Oh wow! Nude heels go perfectly with this dress. I love it! My company doesn't have one but if I had this, I'm totally going to find the pettiest reason to wear this. Wear did you but this, OP? I'm in love with this!

No, the slit is too high. Enjoy the transport party!

Do you think? I have one in another color with no slit.

Here's the link for those who asked!
