Traditionally black has been taboo at a wedding but not so much anymore.
I think the four most important rules would be.
Don't outshine the bride.
Don't wear a color that the bridal party is wearing.
Don't have an excess of flesh exposed.
Never, ever wear all white unless someone is giving you a ring and you are speaking vows.
I think that dress is fine. Straight lines and an undemonstrative classic look that should fit in fine for most wedding unless the invitation mentions something more specific.

Used to be you weren't supposed to wear white unless you were a virgin. Women would often settle for an off white however today that rule is out the window and women with several kids many still wear white because they want the moment.

Just to be clear it's NOT my day, I'm just a guest.

Personally I like the dress and think it looks good on you, your makeup and hair look nice in those photos also

Oh ok lol well then as long as it won't outdo the bride your fine but you look very beautiful in the dress i think it would be perfect for a wedding

for a spring/summer wedding, its usually best to rock some pastels or floral prints.

It's a nice cut/style that looks good on you but, black at a wedding (at least in western cultures)?  No.  I assume it's a summertime wedding?  Something lighter colored, or even a darker colored red would do.  No business oriented colors though.

@AnamethatstartswithE  OK - don't know how I missed this post and I am way late on this - BUT the dress looks great and you look fantastic in it - the overall look is perfect - You look Fabulous Darling!

@AnamethatstartswithE  .... so I see on another thread that you did indeed go to the wedding (as a guest) ....  did you end up wearing the first dress that you posted in your picture... or a different dress???    Hmm, is there a photo of you at the wedding???
   
I am so very happy for you with your coming out announcements at your work, at the wedding, and on social media.....  these are memorable times for you for sure.  Congratulations !!!
Thank you for keeping us all updated.

Hugs,
Danielle

Howdy, some friends helped me pick out a new dress. It was black with white designs around it. I have a single photo, but it's not very flattering so I'd rather not post it.

Thanks for everyone's help with this.
