blue floral dresses Good Intentions Navy Midi Dress, X-Large - The Mint Julep Boutique neck and sleeveless look of the Lorene dress Juliet JT2737A Floral Print A

I love the two dresses, both are really beautiful and have a really nice fabric

Its not casual or semi-casual: Sundresses dont qualify Casual midi dresses in cotton or jersey miss the mark Anything youd wear to brunch or shopping feels too relaxed Its not the same as cocktail attire: Black tie optional is slightly more formal Fabrics and overall polish matter more The formality ceiling is higher (full gowns work) Its not a suggestion to underdress: The optional part means you can skip the floor-length gown It doesnt mean you can significantly dress down Maintain elegant, special-occasion styling Building Versatile Options Smart shopping for black tie optional events considers future wear

With a crossover design and a waist tie, you dont have to add much to this look, making dressing for the office a tad easier (especially if youre in a rush)

Shoes Black, metallic, or jewel-toned shoes are excellent choices for pairing with a black wedding dress
