Can I wear a long red gown to celebrate my 70th birthday?

Can I wear a long red gown to celebrate my 70th birthday? The party will be at a Hotel (lunch with dancing – 1 pm to 7pm).

Celebrating your 70th birthday with lunch and dancing sounds fabulous. Anything goes today but since the party is in the afternoon 1 PM to 7 PM a cocktail dress would be more appropriate (in a style that flatters your figure type) than a long red gown. Today cocktail dresses are considered more modern for formal events and you always wear cocktail style dresses to semi formal events. Happy Birthday!!!
