Is this acceptable as a "colourful gown" for a black tie wedding?

The invite says "black tie and colourful gowns for women". I have a vintage black floor length ballgown with colourful pink flowers all over it. Could this quality as colourful?!

yes, I’d say that was perfect!

😍 lovely!

It's hard to say overall how weddingy it is as can't see whole garment, but the actual colour element looks perfect.

Super colourful!

Looks like you had the perfect outfit in your wardrobe for this invite! Isn't it lovely when the universe lines up like that. ❤️

Looks absolutely fine (unlike a black tie invite, unless the wedding is in the evening)

Beautiful

Thanks everyone, that's very reassuring. I will go vintage from the back of the wardrobe!
