Thanks.

I will consider this.

If you will consider this, then you're in for a real treat with the other thread!

It was eye-opening.

I’m 50+. I don’t want to make anyone jealous. I just want to not look out of place in either setting without having to change in the bathroom of a Sheetz.

But I am 39. How old are you OP?

53

It’s a great dress, but not for me.

Thank you.

The suggestion to change your jewelry/shoes/accessories maybe even your makeup (put on a statement lipstick color for evening, or darker eye makeup, etc.) is a good one.

I have to say, I hate black tie optional as a dress code.

A few ideas:

this would look pretty on a pear shape: https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/zac_posen/layered_lace_dress?lens=classic&utm_content=184140567107&nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ag%3A22684066751%3A184140567107%3A758865285260&nb_adtype=pla&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=pla-293946777986&nb_mi=10471133&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=ZACP16_0R&nb_ppi=293946777986&nb_placement=&nb_si=%7Bsourceid%7D&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&utm_campaign=22684066751&utm_source=google&sem_cid=22684066751&sem_gid=184140567107&pxid=pla-293946777986&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&sem_type=&em_stream=&r_ty=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22684066751&gbraid=0AAAAAD0NsUlm94cgW_aA3oZrPbrFTo5dQ&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3oeC6qvvkAMVmnFHAR1L1QEoEAQYCCABEgIOb_D_BwE

Everyone is driving except the wedding party.

It’s almost two hours by my calculation, but our hotel is another 30 min in the opposite direction so about three hours if we want to change.

That sounds miserable. Wear what you want.

That is a) fugly and b) the opposite of what a pear should wear.

Don’t wear this one unless your goal is to look frumpy.

I like this one, too and would likely get more use out of it.
