Too Revealing?

So I got this from Rent the Runway, it was a designer I'd never worn before so I decided to do a test rental and see if the dress would work for my Rehearsal Dinner (instead of waiting and hoping that it fit and end up potentially rushing to find a dress the day of).

I love the way it looks on me, I really like the way it is so risqué but doesn't show too much. However, after FH zipped up the dress last night he says it may be too revealing for a "family affair." So- I'm curious what you other ladies, and gentlemen, think of it! Bit of back info- our RD will be at a fancy-ish Steak & Seafood House, only family is siblings, parents & grandparents.

    I think you look hot as well, however I agree that it is totally up to you. If you're comfortable in front of family wearing it go got it. If not, then it might not necessarily be the look you want to wear for the rehearsal dinner.

    It's really not that revealing, but kinda gives you the feel that it is. I think it looks great

    Love it!! If you want a little more coverage, just wear a nude tank under it!

    I personally think it's gorgeous and looks amazing on you! I wore a similar dress to cousin's wedding and didn't see anything wrong with it. If you feel it may be a little too revealing you could always wear a neutral camisole underneath to still give the illusion of fleshy tones.

    I don't know if I would wear it in front of my in laws because they're conservative, but other than that, hell yes! I love the dress. It's a beautiful dress and you look gorgeous in it!! Do what makes you feel comfortable. If not for the rehearsal dinner, definitely find another occasion

    I know for my FH it would be a no because we are Christian and the girls in our family dress modest. I think it's beautiful tho

    Girl....WEAR IT. You look stunning and you can tell by your smile and posture that you feel confident and could totally rock this. Who cares??? Just wear it. Nobody will say anything, except maybe how great you look.

    There's no doubt that you can wear that dress for all it's worth. Me? His words would be ringing in my ears. That's all I can say on this one.

    Depends on your crowd. Our families would be shocked (and not in a good way). If your family's more relaxed than mine, go for it. Lol but if you are questioning yourself, it may be a no. Maybe ask a parent?

    Personally I would be incredible uncomfortable. I have a larger chest so I tend to air on the more conservative side though. If your comfortable than that's all the matters.

    Personally I would think it was too revealing for myself. But you know your crowd and if that is acceptable to them.
