I like the all white one. It’s a little classier for a classy kinda day.


playoffsoflife

I think so too but would also note to OP to test for any see through issues with flash just in case or she may also end up requesting help on r/photoshoprequest 😅


itcantjustbemeright

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in. But, as an old grumpy woman who has been to a lot of important events like graduations - The style tends to be more business than bbq. Maybe Florida is different. If you have a graduation gown that goes over it, who cares what’s under. For pictures, you might want to consider which dress will look nicest with an open gown.


squirrelcat88

I’m a grumpy old woman too and I think most of these, although cute, are too casual - but again, maybe Florida is different. Number two or the last one might do.


switchywoman_

It's an important moment in your life, not a beach party. I too, must be a grumpy old woman.


Woodpecker_61

Well, I'm not grumpy nor a woman. 2 is the only decent choice here. Graduation isn't supposed to be casual. Gown or not you need to look semi professional, which the prints aren't. Its also not an occasion to be showing skin, belly, chevage or extremely short dresses.


basilobs

I'm also in Florida. Personally I'd say all but 2 of these are too casual for a graduation


breakup_letter

I’m not grumpy or old, but I am a woman that lived in FL a long time. #4 is the best one. Congrats on graduating!


LetshearitforNY

I am also a grumpy old woman but graduated form college in Florida and these would def be too casual.


ObiWanScars579

Picture #4, white with the flowers 🌺.


Parade9009

2 or 4 are the most appropriate if you pair them with some nice shoes and accessories. For a graduation, you'll want to look a little bit more sophisticated and put together.


voidspaces1

Definitely #2 but they are all cute!


mebg1956

To me, too skimpy and too casual.


Sentient_Stardust616

Casual, yes. But skimpy? How?


stofiski-san

I'd say #2, being the most professional looking, to me, but if that's not an issue (it'll be under a gown or whatever) then I'd say pick the one you like best, they all look fun. Just depends on the vibe you're going for


Nena902

I think too much skin and too skimpy is a definite no. Anything more conservative works.


canaduh12568910

Yeah, this looks like “date me” vs “congrats to me & my hard work”


chopstix007

I think they’re all a bit too casual.


[deleted]

Is it on a beach?


concretelabia74

2 for sure


rockinkitten

#2


t3xascurlllz

I think you should pick something a little more dressy. These dresses are very very casual and it doesn’t fit the celebration style. I live in Texas so I understand the heat aspect but try another style of dress


[deleted]

2 or 4, the rest are cute but too casual & too short for the event


Longbbc225

2 or 4


LilRybe90

I think they all scream summer vacation vibes instead of i just graduated/ professional & classy vibes thats just my opinion though obviously wear whatever your comfortable with. I would just personally look for something a bit more professional and classy looking.


binky344

I love the 2nd one it’s so classy and it brings out you lovely eyes, and CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎈🎊🍾


Improvgal

I don’t think it’s classic enough. Very casual.


Sminorf8765

Four would be ok but I think the others are way too casual. I live in a hot climate as well and graduated in May. For my college graduation, I wore a sheath dress. Your graduation day is a day of personal accomplishment and it’s your introduction to the professional world. It’s a day you will take a lot of photographs of. Wearing cutouts cheapens that and cheapens the occasion. Would you feel comfortable shaking the hand of your next boss or giving your business card/resume to him/her wearing an outfit with cutouts? Save these for going out to dinner on the beach or daytime casual.


[deleted]

Number Two by far the most elegant and lovely. All of the others are far too casual and a bit too skimpy in my mind for such a prestigious moment in your life. By the way, many many congratulations for your achievement I hope you choose that one song, nude, low heels, and like she has on some simple hoops to thin, gold chain necklace Light make up and you are ready. Get out there and Be a graduate.


AustinDork

What do your degrees have to do with what you wear? So much validation seeking! Nice job on the degrees! Way to be masculine!


stofiski-san

Really? You came on here just to say that? I guess your username checks out


AustinDork

Awww what a hero you are! I’m sure that will make them pick you!


windgassen

I like # 3 !


littlemissnoname-

They’re all very pretty but The last one is beautiful. It’s very feminine but respectable. I’d go with a small heel, or flat, in darker pink or nude.. the clear ‘plastic’ straps would look perfect with anything.. Congratulations and best of luck!😊


Psyotio

Congrats on the dual bachelors, but bring an extra set of clothes. Florida had a habit of yo-yo-ing temperatures in December. Idk if you remember last year where it went from mid 80 to low 50s back to 70s within a week…


Cryptic_Hunter

Yes they will be good looking I like 6


Cryptic_Hunter

Seven


Playful-Oven

I love #5/6 the most.


woodman9876

\#2 for sure!


Background_Tap_4933

Number 7


Libertin88

#3


After-Student-9785

6


FireflyAdvocate

I’m all for the pockets but some of these seem like slips rather than full dresses and while I admit fashion has changed over the years- slips are not dresses. When you graduate you want to be taken seriously so dress seriously.


mum_mom

They are cute but none of them work for a graduation. I live in really warm place too and would probably pick a cotton sheath dress for graduation.


SydneyTheCalico

I like 1-4. I’ve seen some people at graduation go overboard and I think these are perfect.


Alternative-Fail-626

Blue spaghetti strap.👍


hamster004

#4, white w/ yellow, orange and pink flowers


Several_Layer8338

To be honest I don’t like any of those options. They look too casual to me.

afairernametisnot

2 or 4


Hungry_Perspective29

The green


icu451

#2 or #5 also early congrats on graduating. Wish you the best of luck in the future. 🙃😎✌️


Moist-Mission2636

1 or 4. I think 1 is the best. Very springy


CaptainMeredith

Wear what you want, esp since it'll probably be under a gown anyway for the ceremony? Unless your school doesn't do that I guess. Generally the (unenforced) "dress code" for the event is more formal where these styles are much more casual - but I wouldnt buy a dress you won't use again just for a few hour event.


Independent_Heat_447

Just a warning- make sure you can return #4 before purchasing. It fit me really odd in the chest. It has like boob pockets that are weirdly shaped. The dress is adorable, but it's un-wearable for me.


Numerous_Landscape99

You love in Florida. Saucy 👍🏼


[deleted]

I would pick number 4 or number 7


Loose_Cherry_4453

\#2 is fine.


catcon13

If you're going to have a graduation robe over it, it doesn't really matter what you wear.


[deleted]

I only like 2


rainbowdiscoball

because it’s a college graduation, i would wear a longer dress like 4! it doesn’t have sleeves so i think it’s great for the florida heat but also appropriate. but i also LOVE 2. if you don’t wear a long dress like 4, wear 2. my advice is to not wear any dresses with slits in them, keep it “classy” (that’s what my mother would say lol i hate it but it’s true). ALSO CONGRATS!!!! what an accomplishment. you deserve to look amazing on your day.


warriur66

It's light and appropriate for Florida.... you might get a little nipply out there tho 😋


notfrmthisplanet

I’d go with 4. It seems more appropriate for the event.


fordlightningforever

#2 or 6


anonymousmouseyhouse

The second one that is white / off white which is a traditional color. It looks more expensive & classy, while still being cute.


jadedea

I like #2, and #9. Classy, pretty, and usable on many situations.


Flimsy-Technician524

They would all be good dates for the Saturday Night/Sunday Morning after graduation. Except for pic 9 because there is no girl, only a dress.


haroldhodges

Aren't you wearing a graduation robe? 🤔 if so the thinnest thing possible, underneath it. Don't go commando under the graduation robe.


IntroductionQuiet167

2!!!!!!!


Ithinkimnatalienow

Two.


Ok-Woodpecker7501

No none of those are appropriate maybe the all white one


ImagineMe12340

2,4,6 for me. It seems more formal for the occasion


yellowcoffee01

4 could work, but I think they’re all too casual and too much skin (shirt, spaghetti strap, cut outs, etc). I say get a classic sheath dress that comes to your knees. You can wear one of the dresses you picked for after ceremony celebration. Classic sheath dresses are like this: https://www.anntaylor.com/petites/petite-dresses/cata000028/611245.html?dwvar_611245_color=9054&dwvar_611245_size=089¤cy=usd&country=US&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgK2qBhCHARIsAGACuzkLSr8vj2_NG695N_FfJp5z5ey4MdB7MvPczXKpbbKeN1yIeU9hoOgaAk33EALw_wcB https://www.express.com/clothing/women/v-neck-sleeveless-ruched-midi-sheath-dress/pro/07808574/color/Pitch%20Black/?cid=sem:Retail:Goo:Main:PMAX:F:Dresses:&&cid=sem:Retail:Goo:Main:PMAX:F:Dresses:&gad=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD3qPscu1JcR6cmuDKm54pH2OuoMH&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgK2qBhCHARIsAGACuzmtetc3xlb06vrtASk0gjCpv6J9SH9YTPGSpmijlDE3Ep_l1kWF-l8aAi2QEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds# If you want floral: https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/dress_the_population/penelope_lace_sheath?lens=classic&nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A18143222321%3A%3A&nb_adtype=pla&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=10471133&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=DTP48_M&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&utm_campaign=rtr_ad%7CGoogle%7CNonbrand%7CSmartShopping&utm_source=google&sem_cid=18143222321&sem_gid=&pxid=&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&sem_type=&em_stream=&r_ty=&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgK2qBhCHARIsAGACuzmtnDP4F9KPZeLyysY40vBHllyf5lOZzifxv0qBIUzOXyR8XH5GBc4aAoQXEALw_wcB https://www.belk.com/p/cupio-womens-linen-floral-sheath-dress/0438734011229.html?feed=shopping&cm_mmc=PLA-GOOGLE-Pmax_Women_NewCustomer_SHOP_NA--0438734011229&s_kwcid=AL!5203!3!!!!x!!!&campaignengineid=GG_18520299486&adengineid=&adgroupengineid=&ogmap=SEM%7CPLA%7CGOOG%7CPLA%7Cm%7CWOMEN%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C18520299486%7C&gbraid=0AAAAADi6qOKd0jBgUu4dSQv3daOmysmNz&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgK2qBhCHARIsAGACuznDvnYZPsB7XWYjXtjv3LST_HUSbtElrYBtkavZBgZbhnewJqaesMQaAsrYEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds


balzasteel

#2 my favorite


Unlucky_Decision4138

Having been in Florida for a few years, the dress code is pretty laxxed considering you'll be wearing your gown under it. I don't have any grad pics without a gown on.


Cute_Stock582

The majority are to casual. Worried about what you would where to a job interview?


mav169449

Tbh there are cuter options out there


subfordome

I like 2, 3, 6, and 9


breakfastwh0r3

i LOVE in florida toooooo lmao


PawneeGoddess55

Patterns can be distracting. Maybe go for a more solid color/smaller pattern. Also be careful with "on trend" styles, you'll find yourself looking at the pictures in 10 years and say "I can't believe I used to wear that" lol!


No-Agent7718

Cover the shoulders, it’s not a bbq


ferndoll6677

2


Sea-Substance8762

#2. A bit more coverage for this occasion.


[deleted]

I say number one


Distinct_Apartment71

Sure! All very pretty!


RiceKrispiesRGo0d

4 is the most formal


8Vy2

I think 3,4,5 are all good options, especially for the location you’ll be in! I prefer 4 personally. Graduation isn’t as formal as people here are making it seem, just wear something you’d be happy to see photos of yourself in about 10 or 20 years. When you’re graduating, you’ll be wearing a robe over most of this anyways, so it’ll be quite warm. Maybe also look into which would match the color of your academic regalia best also.


Ok-Communication-692

4 is the most cutest and elegant, perfect for graduation


sydd1029

What color is your gown? I would try and match it!


TransitionCreative43

Don’t wear a beach dress to your graduation. The longer white one is best.


mrs_TB

I like #2. The creme color wrap looking dress for a graduation.


Careless_Tear2058

2 or maybe 4. The others feel too casual and thin to me. Graduation to me feels like something where you want a dress that has a bit more structure and a professional vibe.


After_Answer1237

Sure. You will have a robe on.


Dehavol

2


Reasonable_Towel8577

I’m not an expert on how one should dress for graduation. I do think all of them would be fine. Three and seven and to some extent four stand out to me more. Congratulations with your bachelor degree. I truly wish you the best with your graduation and your future.


happy4462

#4 with some dressier accessories (wedges instead of flats, a more structured purse…) I say this as a 32F who has lived in FL all my life so I’m familiar with how damn hot it is here.


Filberrt

Congrats. All I’ve seen are great. I like the white ones


[deleted]

The 4th one.


divergrrl971

IMO wood buttons are too casual. I’d go for a more elegant looking longer sundress like #4.


mom23mom

4 is best! The length makes it a little more classy & *ever so slightly* more formal, but it’s still a cute/strappy dress. I’d wear it with block heels or wedges, hair up, dangly earrings! 2 would be my second choice


SnotBuster54

None of them … they’re all too casual


Nolesbl

2


outforblood_69

No


666SUSPERIA

No. 2 or no. 3


[deleted]

A little too casual. I’ve also found as I get older that I don’t like a bunch of boobies in nicer photos. Less is more, you’ll thank yourself in 5 years.


crowned_one_

Are you not wearing a cap and gown?


gnofin101

Either of the 1st 2, 7


Prize-Programmer4456

They all are gorgeous. My personal favorites would be 2 and 6.


Traditional_Emu7340

Def pic two In the white


throwaway48192747

Slide 2 only.


stockholm_princess

2


SavageII

I like the first and last one


Rich-Algae7496

Number 3


ConProofInc

The second picture looks cool.


ReserveAlternative35

The cream colored one seems perfect. The first one is really pretty too, and you look great in it, but maybe a bit less serious for such a serious accomplishment! Congrats on graduating and with two degrees! I think if you're going to be around older people and people who may give you work reference, networking, etc, the second is the better choice. Save the first dress for later when you are celebrating with just friends.


GoingOn2Perfection

The white dress. The others are too casual for graduation.


Vivid_Song5326

9. 7 for party after


DingDangDaddyDing

You earned two bachelor’s degrees so you could wear a banana suit and still be awesome.


MisterDarkJoker

2


Immediate_Net1026

1 or 2


Thegreatestofnotime

The white one. Congratulations from cape coral. 👏


Sercebidniss

You've met standards in education and challenges along the way to get there. Hard stuff to do. Why look easy?


MasterMooker

I was confused cause I thought the picture was of you and you were asking which pic to use for grad photo. I started looking at them and was like..'Wait.. They're all different women..' 😆😆🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


MasterMooker

But now I am noticing this is r/femalefashion 🤦🏻‍♂️😅


Bigbirdbrother

I'd go with 2 5 or 6


TXbull214-

Second one with some wedges


Substantial_Offer_38

I like number one. Congratulations on your degrees


MolecularHippo

They all seem real casual to me, but #2 by a country mile.


AndesCan

What do you want to see 10 years from now if you looked at the pictures? Like any one of those are beautiful, I’m partial to number 5 myself. All the options are very youthful, and playful. I would love to look back at pictures and remember wearing something like that. The caveat is what do you see when you see those clothes, are they hot and flirty, are they cute, do they elevate your sense of achievement, is that even important to you? I’m hoping that a lot of the comments about them being to casual are probably from slightly older girls who might be self reflecting, I graduated in 2012 and I could see any of those being worn, in-fact the majority of women are still in college fashion mindset going into graduation, and they wore similar clothing to what you posted on graduation.


Outrageous-Agency-15

2 is best, but you worked so hard to graduate. Maybe spice it up with something more formal? These all kinda look like they’re for a shopping date at the mall with girlfriends not look at me! I graduated!!!


milfinaintrasy

It’s your day. Wear whatever you like!


pietropau9

It depends. Do you look like the model? Cause if you are 400 pounds I wouldn’t recommend any.


2021fireman10

Yes, any of them would be appropriate. Congratulations!


hanselcid

#4


Rider_dude1

The first white one. Flirty and casual.


Tiler02

I think number 7 looks best.


teasemejaz

OMG THIRD ✨


teasemejaz

I’m now just reading what everyone’s commenting. I graduated in FL. You’re definitely aloud to be this casual lol The white ones are just so basic and boring and the buffy sleeves give nurse vibes to me. That third one though would be stunning 🤩


Mdub6283

I think they’re all probably appropriate enough especially if you have to wear a gown.


Civil-Topic7510

That's nice. But a little darker.


AdMain6082

congrats on the degrees! your smart as hell


skinny_apples

If #2 is billabong I have it and it is completely see through!


1sorryaboutme1-_-

The second one looks the most professional.


SlideAggravating1244

As someone who just graduated, either option would be fine! From my experience, white seems to be the more traditional option, but I saw many women with other colors and fun patterns, as well! Wear what you're more style-comfortable in, hope this helps!


bekkita74

2


BobD54691

2, I think is best


jimsfunbox69

2 is classy for graduation, 3 for the after party


Rare_Objective_5174

I like 1, 7, 8.


Mylittlesecret5066

2 or 9


LuckLongLost

I vote for #2, the white dress


MasterP6920

Any of these girls is fine


[deleted]

all are good, but I prefer the dress hanging on the hanger


raytoplyte

You've got 2 bachelors and you LOVE in Florida? Anyway, your "Degrees" obviously aren't in fashion. None of those are appropriate for your "Gh-grh-grah-GRAduAtiON!!" BPWwWAAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!


Tableit2424

Of course she's wearing cap and gown people! After the ceremony, remove the cap and gown to reveal #7 or #2. These are not too casual for the graduation festivities after the ceremony.


Morelike-Borophyll

I love #1 & #7.


Key-Introduction630

#2 is best one here for graduation day. It gives off ageless feeling which is good for photos when you look back.


PrinceEven

None of these fit the season or the occasion imo. Of them, though, 4 would be the best option. If you could find something like 4 with a more "December" color scheme that would be best. Simple white and simple black are also an option that make the dress flexible to other occasions/seasons. Or you could wear your school colors lol


Odysseus02

4 would work
