Would you wear a black Lacey dress to a wedding ?

So it’s full sleeved, knee length
the body part is opaque

We need a picture 😀
Generally I'd say no to black, only because it's summer. But does depend on what it looks like.

Exactly. Chances are in this day and age it won't cause offence, but it might upset someone, some people are superstitious, and weddings have a lot of traditions and emotions associated with them, I think it's polite to observe this particular custom.

Just because others have done it and apparently not upset anyone (although they might have done but people were too polite to say anything) doesn't make it right IMO.

I once wore a cream pantsuit with a maroon blouse to a wedding. Honestly, I have AGONISED over it in retrospect. hahaha. So silly, but it is what it is.

To add, I think weddings and funerals peoople get away with it even if other guests are not impressed. But I've started to see a bit of a trend for people choosing not to respect well-established social mores for dressing in the workplace, and then being outraged when they are pulled up on it or don't get the job. It's weird.

My boss and I once walked into interview someone for a job at an investment bank.... we barely got through the a bare minimum of polite 25 minutes because the first thing we saw is that the outfit she was wearing included being cropped/cut in such a way as to expose her stomach and belly button ring. Completely and totally inappropriate even though she looked fabulous.

Impossible to say without a picture really!
