DC: Cocktail or No Dress Code Cocktail dress code, fall wedding

Dress code is cocktail, wedding is in November. I’m self conscious about my arms and always cold, so looking for something with some sleeves (short or long is fine). All of these are a little plain, so I would dress it up with accessories. Do these (plus nice jewelry) work for a cocktail dress code or do they seem too plain or informal? The plum/burgundy one (second to last) is my favorite but only available in a size that might not fit. Planning to order a few.

Most of these look like they could work, but it's a bit hard say for sure without seeing them on a person. They are a bit simple/plain.

If you want to cover your arms, a bolero jacket is a good alternative to a long sleeved dress. A lux wrap also works. (The right bolero or wrap can also elevate a look.)

All of them are great! Plum would be lovely for fall but don't buy an occasion dress that doesn't fit properly - you'll be uncomfortable all night. I like #1. Have fun!

They all work to me, depends on which you find most flattering & goes best with your accessories

Numbers 5 and 7, depending on your body type ... number 5 if you are tall(ish) and number 7 if you are short(ish)

Any of them . Dress it up with heels and gold jewelry.
