The wedding is on May 10 and my house recently had a fire. There were two dresses in a guest room closet that got a lot of smoke and grease but the dry cleaner is pretty confident he can save them. All my other dresses were toast, pun intended.
I'm pretty determined to just make this dress work since semi-formal for an evening wedding means cocktail dresses for women. The bride and groom don't even know me so I doubt they'd care or notice what I wear. My husband used to be friends with the groom in high school.
Anyway, the 6"4 model has legs that are a mile long. I, however, do not have legs this long so the dress is not nearly this short on me. It only hits a few inches above my knees. I'm actually quite short.
My mother offered to lend me some pearls, or I may pick up some costume jewelry this weekend.
Is this a semi-formal wedding? and evening? What is the location? Personally, I think the dress while cute, is also not formal enough and despite the height difference, too short. Rest looks good.

It's at a ranch in Colorado. The groom is a cop from a cop/military family, so I don't see them thinking the dress is a huge faux pas. I think it could easily be dressed up, though. I just hate dress-shopping and I really don't have time to do it between now and our flight to Denver in a week and a half. It always takes me all day because I'm so fussy about how dresses look on me.
Right now, I'd feel so much more comfortable in the black one because it will hide my budding paunch (which I'm doing something about but it won't be gone in 10 days). The sheath dress won't.
Just borrow your mom's pearls and wear the dress. As you said, no one is really going to notice or care.
I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago which was held at 7 p.m. at an art museum, so a fairly formal venue. The MOB wore a long beaded gown while the groom and groomsmen wore blue jeans and sport coats (This was in Texas.) Guest clothing ran the gamut from very short dresses to long denim skirts and everything in between.
I guarantee that you'll see the same sort of stuff at this wedding. Wear the dress and have fun.
It's Colorado! Semi-formal here is not the same as it is elsewhere. The dress is gorgeous, and you'll look fabulous. Enjoy your time in the Centennial state.

Yep. Beat me to it.
