Is this too much leg/"too sexy" for a wedding guest dress?

Black tie/cocktail dress code. 5'3". Black hair. (Their wedding site says Black Tie but their invitation says Cocktail 🤔)

The slit would be more lower mid thigh for my height. Or would it be smarter to wear a long dress instead and cover up??

I would call this festive attire, not black tie.

I wouldn’t call this black tie, I would go longer

This is not black tie

I am 5’2 and wouldn’t wear it for a wedding. It looks perfect for clubbing / art Basel but not for a wedding imo.

Would you be comfortable in this in front of your grandma? And the couple’s grandmas? Too sexy for me to be comfortable in at a wedding. And too much potential for a wardrobe malfunction. 😅

It’s giving hooker

Yes sorry. The shiny material and the slit doesn’t look classy. Dress the population on Nordstrom has nice cocktail dresses that are sexy chic

Honestly I think it depends how the dress looks on you. If you are less curvaceous and booby and the fit isn’t as tight, the look will be less ooo lala sexy. Add a nice jacket or shawl and you’re fine.

Love the flubbery athletic look. I’m the same lol. What you described sounds fine to me!

It should be okay due to your height but depends how well you know the couple and the vibe of the wedding

No. It’s not wedding appropriate.

I think it’s too sexy / too “look at me” (aka the bride may not appreciate it)

If the wedding is actually black tie attire, that dress isn’t appropriate. For cocktail attire, I have actually worn a similar dress in the past; I am also 5’3” and smaller chested, so the style of dress shows off a LOT less skin. In your case, since your wedding seems to be giving you mixed vibes on attire, I would err on the side of dressier than that dress.

It’s very sexy. If the bride is simple, probably not a good idea to where this and take attention away from her.

This totally depends on the type of wedding the couple are having.
I went to a wedding pre-Covid in Miami of an old friend who was marrying a professional sports player and outfits similar this this were fine. As a New Englander…I honestly felt like a pilgrim in my much more conservative wedding attire 🤷‍♀️

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.
