Is this dress formal enough for “Black Tie Requested”?

My boyfriend & I decided last minute to attend a Black Tie Requested wedding in less than 20 days ... and as a 5'1" woman, I'm spiraling a bit trying to find a formal + long enough dress to wear. l just ordered this dress from Abercrombie & Fitch in two sizes ... and didn't order petite in hopes that it will be slightly longer on me, as Google & Pinterest have me convinced that I need a long*ish* dress. I'll have to get new shoes for this wedding anyway, so I figure I will decide on heel height once I am settled into a dress. Here's a link to the dress if anyone is curious: https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/ one-shoulder-pleated-maxi-dress-53584320? faceout=model&seg=03 **All that said, is this dress "formal" enough?** I don't know the couple at all, & my boyfriend is a bit surprised it's black tie so I think this is a happy medium between a cocktail + formal dress. The couple’s wedding website reads, “WHAT DOES BLACK TIE REQUESTED MEAN? Tuxes and formal gowns are highly encouraged, however, suits are also welcomed! We can't wait to see how great you look!” I plan to pair with a 2-6 inch stiletto depending on where the dress hits on me (I won’t go clunky) + a simple clutch. Thoughts? I went through Lulu's already & while they have a lot of options, I have a big tattoo on my thigh I'd like keep covered & it seems like all their formal long dresses have slits that show the left thigh. I also went through Rent The Runway, & they don't have any options I'm thrilled about given the late notice. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you! 💕

My Mom wants to know if this OK for Cocktail Attire.

Pretty much the title my mom is going to a wedding in October. The dress code is cocktail. She's not super comfortable in form fitting clothes, so wants to make sure this ok. (It's from soft surroundings btw.)

"Cocktail" in Washington, DC

Is this beaded-tassel dress too over-the-top for "cocktail" in DC? It seems as though the only clothes I don't have packed away in storage since my move are either too glam or too casual... Help. (And yes, I deleted the real background and randomly replaced it with one of DC, so the inside of my house isn't on display, lol.)

Is this a cute dress for a wedding guest?

Is this too black?

A fun twist on the typical question. The bride is wearing a black dress for a spooky themed wedding on Friday the 13th in Oct. I'm struggling to find affordable maternity dresses that are flattering and stumbled upon this one.

Need help with an appropriate cover up/layering options.

I’m going to a boho/casual wedding in early October in the PNW, the venue is indoor/outdoor and we’ve been advised to be sure to wear layers. Dress code rules are no black or white and the wedding party will be in dark blue and dusty rose. I’m so in love with this dress but am having a hard time figuring out what would be appropriate for layering that is not black. I’m also having a hard time deciding on shoes to go with this too. I would love an excuse to buy this but am thinking I may need to go with another dress to fit the dress code Suggestions appreciated!!
