I would stick to a long dress, but it doesnt have to be quite as formal as black or white tie weddings, Cove says

If you take good care of it, handwashing with mild soap, without wringing it, and placing it on a towel or cardboard to dry, once you have it on there, lay it in the shape its supposed to be, turn it a couple of times per day, it can last upwards of twenty or thirty years, isnt that a great investment? With 5 skeins of wool, the total cost was of the sweater is $112.50

I ordered the size 4, regular length dress and the waist landed at a slightly awkward spot on my waist, so I had to get it altered to sit about an inch higher (pictured here after the alterations)

These events would have been unthinkable in the Victorian Era of a half-century prior
