totally OT: do i have to wear a black dress to a black tie wedding?

[evangundy]

thanks for all the responses so far!
so.... the only dress I have is this horrible floor length "rouge iridescent chiffon" number that my friend made her bridesmaids get for her wedding in january.

Maybe you can dye the dress a different color? Maybe black? Would you like the style of the dress if the color was different? I wonder if the iridescent effect would still come thru? Changing the length and maybe putting something over it could change it enough too. A black mesh tunic or something sheer and sparkly, or sheer and floral????? For example, like something from this page:

Let us know what you end up doing.
