I personally think it's fine. I'm not as concerned about color as I am about the overall appearance. Well, that sounds differently than what I'm trying to say. Let's put it this way - I'd much rather see a PNM dressed appropriately in black than see her looking like she's at a club in a brighter color. Does that make any sense?
ME TOOOOOOO!
blueGBI-I like the dress. I AM from a conservative area! If you got compliments on it and YOU like it then I'd go with it!
For some reason, the teardrop ruby sounds very pretty. Ruby's catch the light so nicely!
edited here-momoftwo-I couldn't even guess what they think is OK in the Midwest! I HAVE to believe that ANYWHERE, if the dress is elegant and the girl is charming, the CHARMING part will be remembered more than the dress. It would be much easier if you had other Moms with active daughters you could talk to. I guess what I mean is it depends so much on what the OTHER girls are wearing as to how conservative she would look. Some of the dresses they wear to Pref down South could look WAY OUT of the norm in California. I guess a better way to say it is
classic versus trendy. Some strapless/halter dresses are very classic in their design IMO.
White_Chocolate...That just breaks my heart! That poor, poor girl! Maybe she broke a heel or something. I know a Rho Chi would be in a sticky situation to say something, but GEE, unless the girl was unable to have new shoes (or at least shoes that matched) how could she afford dues??? I feel soooooo sorry for those young things that have no one to help them.
