| For the wedding? In the mountains? Definitely not too formal, just sort of wrong. |

| Looks like a summer backyard BBQ dress. |

| What time of year? What time of day? Indoor or outdoor? |

| I’m not feeling it but also I’m sure it would be perfectly fine. |

| It could work if you style it as dressy: nice shoes, jewelry, purse, etc. I definitely don't think it is too formal. It reminds me of Reformation which is super popular to wear to weddings. |

| I like it. You just need to figure out a wrap or sweater to wear with it. |

| I think it works for a summer wedding. |

| I'm also getting summer wedding from it, but I also think it would be fine for a cocktail dress code. |

| No. Just no. Too strappy floppy girly. |

| I'm getting dinner-at-the-beach-restaurant instead of cocktail vibes. |

| Wow, are people that strict about what comprises of cocktail attire these days? |

Abercrombie is never formal.
PS - this is a Prairie dress |

Ah, yes. And she's asking. It isn't a cocktail dress. Maybe at a summer wedding or beach wedding with jewelry. Or maybe this is a granola crowd and OP just didn't say. In which case, it's still not appropriate this time of year. |

It's fine. You'll need a sweater or something.
I went to a cocktail-attire event out west and the predominant look (which I never see around here) was long floaty floral dresses with a light colored pullover sweater on top. Sort of an oversized, lightweight sweater on top of a dress. This was a fancy crowd, FWIW. Men were in ties and blazers or suits. |
