The last two years have been flooded with weddings – I am attributing the wedding rush to Covid and how weddings were effectively shut down for nearly two years.

Well in 2022 and 2023 – there have been many weddings and I have been able to get all dolled up for them!

I fancy myself somewhat of a professional wedding guest and almost always know just what to wear when it comes to a wedding guest dress.

I base what I wear on various factors like the wedding location, time of year, and level of formality.

However, there is always a failsafe way to go when you’re not sure what color to wear and that is to wear black.

Black is always chic, elegant and sleek. You really can’t go wrong. Plus it’s alway flattering to your figure.

I have a tried and true black formal wedding guest dress I have worn three times now and it has always been the perfect wedding guest dress. The best part is that you can always change up the accessories and shoes to create a whole new look.

For a friend’s wedding in Israel last year: I wore the above strapless black high low Black Halo dress and it fit really well. The top being fitted, accentuated my figure and the bottom flowing out gave some dimension to the dress. It also has some stretch in it – which is amazing because my weight tends to fluctuate depending on the time of year (hello: post vacation and holiday times!)

How does Black Halo Fit?

Black Halo, in my opinion, fits true to size and sometimes a little large.

Most of their pieces tend to have some stretch in them so that helps when want to get the correct size.

The Black Halo Caine Dress has to be the one of the best black dresses to wear to a formal occasion!

I also love how I accidentally leaned into the sustainable fashion space by wearing this dress three times in less than a year!

I have now worn this dress to two weddings and a New Year’s Eve Roaring 20s party – I’d say I got my money’s worth and saved some!

I love wearing something to new to a wedding but being able to rewear a dress to another formal event does make you feel like done some good and got some great usage out of the dress!
