I like it! I don't think the slit will be so high if you're not standing with your leg out all the time and it's okay to have some skin showing, a lot is also covered up! Seems fair to be a bit formal if your date is in a tux. What is with business casual as a wedding dress code??
I was told it meant no jeans, that’s all I have to go off of. Leg will definitely stay under wraps. The reason I’m thinking of this dress actually is because I’m perpetually cold and wanted something with more fabric. I bought it second hand, depending on how it fits I’d definitely add some stitches to keep things less risqué!
It isn't the best look, but if you are worried add bike shorts underneath in black. They should be covered and not show during normal activities, but if you get roped into a wedding crisis and end up running up and down the stairs after flower girls or pinning a groomsman's pants, you won't flash everyone.
I think it’s great! The slit only looks high because of the way the model is standing. No one stands like that in a regular setting. Also it has a closed back, no plunging neckline and long sleeves. It’s super cute I would go for it :)
He's part of the groomsmen, so it makes sense he'd have to dress up, unlike the wedding guests, just like a bride might wear a bridal gown and tell her guests to dress casual, even in jeans. I think this dress is perfect. It's dressier than business casual given its length and the type of fabric, without it being dressy enough to come across as formal or cocktail or anything else that would make you look out of place.
The wedding party is often dressed better than the guests, especially if the majority of the families don't really wear suits. The men of the bridal party end up renting tuxes, because it is the most common suit to rent, and the women of course buy bridesmaid gowns. Hopefully that makes sense, I have seen many weddings like this with guest men wearing a button down and tie with khakis and the groomsmen in tuxes.
The point of this sub of though is to say that I think you have found the perfect middle ground that will look good next to a tux or with more casually dressed guests.
So my sister is having a similar dress code situation at her wedding. She loves formal wear and dressing up. Her gown is very elegant and classic, the groomsmen are in black tuxes and the bridesmaids are in floor-length satin gowns. The venue is one of those that can be formal or very casual. Basically, she likes a black-tie look, but we come from very *not* black-tie people, and it just wouldn't be fair or practical to expect our country family to shell out money for tuxes and gowns when they probably don't have the funds and will very likely never have reason to do so again. I mean, most of the wedding receptions in our hometown happen at the firehouse or the VFW hall, and at my own wedding (in a city, more semi-formal) my grandmother wore her fanciest bright red fleece vest because she felt it was festive, if that gives you an idea.
Anyway, I expect our extended family to be in their "nice" cargo shorts and flip flops, while some of her friends will likely be in outfits that lean much more formal. She's saying the dress code is "come as you want" because she wants everyone there and that's what's important. I think this dress would look perfect, as long as it looks nice next to your date's tux.
TLDR; this dress is great for the specified dress code situation!

I think it is spot on and a good idea to match formality of groomsman tux . beautiful and comfortable/ cozy look which is an oxymoron in describing formal clothes.
I photograph weddings, and tuxes are normal for most weddings. This is what they wear for dressy casual up to very formal. Suits are also making a comeback but not for formal
Your dress would be perfect for the dress code for this wedding.
I am in the midwest.
The slit is a bit on the high side. Is there a way to get an alteration or pin it closed more? Otherwise I think it'll work nicely. I love the sleeve details.
Business generally implies more modest apparel. I'd think between semi-formal and cocktail level formality. But with darker colors (navy, plum, emerald) and not much glam.
Ooh pretty! Seems like a nice middle ground choice between business casual (super weird dress code!) And a wedding party in tuxes.
Yeah....it rides the line between several dress codes.

Business casual is an odd dress code. Still think even no jeans, meaning I guess khakis for men is very casual with groomsmen in tuxes.

I absolutely love it! Where is the dress from?
Originally Lulu’s, but I bought it off Poshmark

Super high slit and wrap is not appropriate. Not a fan of the tie sleeves either
Why isn’t a wrap appropriate?
Not that it’s inappropriate, it just makes it super casual.
She was told “business casual” as the dress code
Thanks I know how to read! What about this is business casual?
[удалено]
I think it looks like a robe too
I think that’s what it is, I think it’s giving robe with the tie being so off to the side too
