I purchased a strapless MOB dress with a jacket which is normally appropriate for this time of year. It has turned out unseasonably hot so I tried to locate a shawl to wear with the dress instead of the jacket without any luck. Would it be appropriate for a MOB to wear the dress without the jacket? The wedding is outdoors.
This is definitely a judgment call that can only be made by you. Sorry. Put the dress on and scrutinize it carefully. You are looking for elegant. If you see it, you're fine. If you think that you may be attracting a bit too much attention away from the bride, well...
Strapless dress.
