Is this too formal for a 40th birthday party?

Not sure if it’s too much

I love it! It could be dressed up or down, classy. Where is it from?

Next but by friends like these. I really like it but just wasn’t sure if it’s right for the occasion.

Anyone else? 😄

Is it your birthday? Or a guest? Where's the party and what kind of venue?

It's a lovely dress.

It’s gorgeous and not too formal. What is it made of?

I like it and think it’s really versatile

It’s a lovely dress, good for a party and very versatile. Of course it depends on the party, pub lunch in the countryside not so much, but for anything that’s actually a party or smart dinner would be perfect.

What kind of venue is the party at? If it's a nice venue it's lovely. If its a bowling club or something (which I've been to a few 40ths at), it's a bit formal.

It’s nice and I wouldn’t describe it as formal. What type of party?

Really depends on the venue, location and the type of party but it is the type of dress which could be dressed up or down so I think you could make it work for most situations.

Not formal. I’d call it Nightie Chic! I like it

Thanks all. It’s in a hotel, a nice one. Probably similar or slightly less nice than a Hilton hotel.

Material is satin.

Not my birthday. Just a family member but not really close

I think it looks like a late 1970s nightie

I think the red is nicer

Is a bad way I presume? 😂

If the party is a slumber party. Looks like a nightie to me. A lovely nightie; but a nightie nonetheless.

It's beautiful.

More suited to a bougie funeral than a party

I think it's lovely and not at all too formal for what you've described (also as a child of the nineties those saying it looks like a nightie is just a compliment to me😄)

Too much? It’s a plain black dress. What on earth could it be ‘too much’ for?

I meant the stain and the lace. Is it too dressy?

😂 me too!

Do I do black or gold shoes?
