I am going to a wedding in Denver over Columbus Day weekend. The bride is an artist/philosopher who will wear an alternative “nude” colored wedding dress. What sort of dress would be appropriate for me to wear to an afternoon wedding. I’m 66, almost 6 feet tall, female, and I refuse to wear flimsy high heels.

There is a great wedding guest dress you should see at Halsbrook.com. Click on Occasions, then Wedding Guest and you’ll find:

Armani Collezioni: Cobalt Milano Jersey Gathered Dress

Then go to Sale to see:

Philosophy: Black Crepe Pique Dress

Maxmara:  Angelo Patchwork Knit Dress

Elie Tahari:  Maura Tweed Jacquard Dress

Armani Collezioni:  Black Crepe Jersey Boatneck Dress

With well-supporting undergarments, all of these dresses would look great on you. Also, many of these dresses are similar styles (copies) that can be found in a department store near you. As to shoes, there are fun, beautiful ballerina flats that can go anywhere. Look for Chanel type ballerina quilted flats at frenchsole.com., or similar shoes that can be found locally. My point is this. These dresses merely illustrate the style that would look best on you. You should show off your tall, slim figure and not wear a bulky dress that covers you up. Accentuate your slim curves and height.
