What to wear to a wedding?

I am not sure if this is the right forum. My 15 year old daughter is going to the wedding reception of her friend's sister and is not sure what to wear. The issue is that the couple getting married are muslim and she feels that it is not appropriate to show too much leg. My daughter wants to wear a dress she bought for her…

I am not sure if this is the right forum.

My 15 year old daughter is going to the wedding reception of her friend's sister and is not sure what to wear. The issue is that the couple getting married are muslim and she feels that it is not appropriate to show too much leg. My daughter wants to wear a dress she bought for her junior cert celebration and thinks that black tights will cover her legs. I'm not sure where she got this idea or if it is accurate. I have suggested that she ask her friend for advice but she is reluctant.

Have you any advice as to the dress code at such an event?

Ive never been to a Muslim Service but I think she should consider a full lenght dress. Type muslim wedding into google images and see, the color is ok but the lenght is almost always full.

She is not going to the religious service but to the reception and I have suggested that she ask her friend about what is appropriate.

She shouldn't wear that dress imo and will most likely feel pretty out of place. I'm going to a Muslim wedding too and was advised not to show knees or shoulders / cleavage. It's not on this Sunday by any chance?

I agree about the shoulders/cleavage issue, I'd be more wary of this than of tights thing.
