Tuxedo dress?

This suits my personal style much more than a sparkly long gown, and I know I will get multiple wears out of it. I plan on wearing a black slip underneath, so the sides will not be exposed skin. My concerns are: - Length. The model is 9” taller than me, but it falls just above the knee on me. - White lapels. Is that permitted? Thoughts please? Thanks!

How to style/accessorize this gown for my sister’s wedding this weekend!

I’m doing a reading and making a toast for my baby sister’s wedding this coming Saturday. I’ll be escorted in by my husband after the mother of the groom, my mom is giving my sister away, and hubby and I helped raise my sister, so she’s treating us as her extra parents, we’re part of the wedding party in that regard- and more dressed up than a regular guest, if that makes sense, lol. Anyway, I’m wearing this fishtail gown and I can’t decide on shoes/jewelry/bag. I was thinking gold jewelry, so would a gold bag and shoes be too much? The wedding is at a fancy farm, lol. It’s inside and outside. They don’t have a dress code, but I would say it’s formal, not black tie though. The dress comes with a black belt that is worn under the bust, not at the waist. I don’t have to wear it, but I kind of like it. My daughter and sister said I could maybe get a different belt to match my accessories if I wanted, so that could be an option, too. I also need a shawl for the night portion- ceremony is at 4:30, wedding ends at midnight. I’m terrible with styling myself- please help! Gown is pictured- it’s a Norma Kamali fishtail gown. In black.

Is this appropriate for a (nice) backyard reception?

I’m trying to decide it this will work. I’m mid-30s. The dress code in the email invite says “cocktail or semi-formal”. It’s a 4-10pm backyard wedding reception (no ceremony) in early September. It may be a bit fancier than the usual backyard reception - it’s a beautiful location and there will be a DJ, dance floor, and open bar. Temperature still start in the mid-80s and drop to high-70s by 10pm (and be very, very humid). I will probably wear black flats because it’s hard to wear heels on grass. I would usually not wear thin straps like this, but I feel like it might be okay in this situation. What do do we think?

Is this too much cleavage for a wedding?

I will be attending an October wedding that’s more on the cocktail/casual side. I have a bigger chest, so any type of cut on the chest usually makes it look raunchy - even if the dress isn’t. Does the picture below show too much?

Cocktail/ Semi-Formal October KC MO

Trying to style similar to my husband with outfit. Invite says “Normal Wedding Dress or cocktail/semi-formal”. Wedding venue google pics review is highly variable styles. Not close enough to bride/groom to ask. I’m solidly plus sized and looking for something that will be comfortable with my body type. Blue/yellow/cream is the preferred color scheme and I’m only seeing limited options seem available. Dress is from ASOS.
