white mini strapless dress Izabel Beaded Fringe Mini dress Oscar Dress in White |

1950s Sleeveless Summer Cocktail Dress Boatneck style, with a pretty ribbon belt and 1950s flared swing skirt

However, unlike white tie wedding dress codes, black tie attire allows for other options, such as a sophisticated jumpsuit, pant suit, or chic cocktail dress with a knee-length hemline

The seam under the bust creates a flattering shape, and the midi length makes it feel polished without being fussy

How precious is this beauty from Lola Varma

And it still shows plenty of leg, thanks to an arresting, thigh-high slit, which adds a bit of movement to the skirt and a surprising dash of sauciness to the otherwise-formal shape

Especially when you opt for deep tones and black bases, they're just the thing for a fall wedding
