Is it okay to wear a BLACK cotton dress to a daytime baby shower in the summer?
It's knee length, very short-sleeved (almost cap-sleeved), and made out of cotton, so it's not like a jersey/poly blend material cocktail dress or anything like that. It's very simple. I don't feel comfortable in any thing else, that I can FIND anyway. I was going to wear some strappy sandals with it (flats)...
Thanks Mimi. ME TOO. Black is just IT for me. Thanks Again, what a relief!
URCHIN - WOW, thanks!
Considering the aspects that it is summer and it is a baby shower, perhaps a black dress will be a little too oppressive to support in consideration of the two details- it's marked as a faux-pas.
The length and the capped sleeves sound simple and demure/modest, but that undoubtedly concerns if you are a modest or ostentatious dresser. I would recommend a powder color; baby blues, pinks, yellows, whites, pearl, and beige.
Beige is becoming an outbreak color and can be used with great versatility, especially in the summer. Even though the black cotton dress is represented as the quintessential event dress and essential in a woman's wardrobe, it does not mean it can be used everywhere to everything and may not justify a comfort zone as it is epitomized.
As you stated, you feel comfortable with the black dress, but what areas do you feel uncomfortable with without wearing the black dress? Why not try to use other articles of clothing that disguise and/or ease the uncomfortable zones and mix and match spring colors.
Pairing some light cotton pants with a white tank top, or a pencil skirt and a thin dress shirt with suffice as it is simple and appropriate for the event and time.

If you like the cut of the dress, perhaps find that dress or a similar one but in a lighter color, as I mentioned; beige, baby blue, pink, etc.
Flat shoes are perfect for the occasion, as is a strappy sandal.
But, if you decide to were the black dress, pair it up with a white belt, black flats, and a colored necktie or necklace.
Hope I helped, and enjoy!
