Hi,
Well, I'm going to one of my very good guy friend's barmitzvah next weekend, and i really want to impress him, without dressing up too too much.
So what exactly are you supposed to wear to the actual synagogue part?
Also, he's having a party afterwards..
There's gonna be a DJ and stuff, so I'm not sure how formal that's supposed to be.
I was thinking of wearing a dress I'd bought for my spring fling, it's not really really formal, but it's still pretty dressy..
Would that be alright?
Also, what's everyone's opinion on flipflops with halter style dresses. (I already know i need to cover my shoulders up, soyea..)

oh, and try looking to see if the invitation says cocktail attire, casual, black tie, or something like that. also, you may want to ask your friends(who are girls) what they're wearing, so you don't feel like you over dressed or underdressed.
o btw....DONT WEAR FLIP FLOPS wear high heals or ballet flats. if the invite says black tie or cocktail attire, then it's REALLY fancy. haulter dresses, very in, and very cute. just make sure it's appropriate for the dress code.
service: wear what you're wearing to the party if it's right after. if not, wear a nice skirt and shirt. cover your shoulders.
daytime party: any kind of nice skirt and top or casual dress is fine
nightime: a nice dress, no skirts...unless the invitation says to dress casual.
even though he's a boy, ask him what he's wearing. if he says a tux or nice suit, wear a dress for sure.
truthfully, at some party's i've been to, i've worn a dress in the day, but dressed it down with unfancy shoes.
