Reader's Dilemma: What Kind Of Dress Should I Wear To Match My Groom's Zoot Suit?

Reader hscnaina writes, "My future husband is going to wear pin-stripe zoot suit on our wedding day, which I'm all for. But what kind of dress should I wear to go along with the theme?"

First of all, I hscnaina, I applaud you for your open-mindedness about your groom's style. When my guy wanted to wear a zoot suit, I freaked (reminisce with me here). Now, while I wasn't all about a theme wedding, they can be chic when done right.

To help you outfit yourself on your big day, I've found five wedding dress options that I think would complement a pinstripe zoot suit. The key is to think "vintage." Even if you're not open to wearing an actual vintage wedding dress, consider having one made in a retro style or seeking out a new designer that makes antique-inspired gowns (see #'s 3 and 5 below).

1. Vintage 1950s Cranberry Metallic Party Dress

How much fun is this? If you're going for an all-out themed affair, you might as well consider a non-white dress. The flashiness here would definitely look right next to a man in a zoot suit, while ensuring you don't get overshadowed by your groom's outfit.
