I bought a pretty, black dress that has some lace and comes down above the knee. Can I wear black sheer stockings with black shoes (pumps)? This is for a wedding and I am not sure what is in or out.

Your black dress with lace sounds very festive. You will look very stylish wearing sheer black stockings with black pumps to a wedding. The fashion today is that you can wear sheer stockings, pantyhose or tights with closed toe style shoes (pumps, sling backs, and flat shoes).
