Steeplechase Dress code

Ok,

This is seriously random, but I've been invited to a Steeplechase in 2 weeks. I know you're supposed to wear sundresses and big, silly hats (yay!), but I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of dress to wear. I was thinking about buying the one I'm wearing in my profile pic, but wasn't sure if it was too short. Do you sit on the grass? Are there grandstands usually? This wouldn't be a dress for sitting on a blanket. Anyway, if you've been to a Steeplechase before (and know what it is), please let me know what you think.

Thanks :-)

    Never been, but lucky you!! The Derby is on my bucket list. I think that dress looks good although I can't see the length. Add the right hat and you are in bizness. Have a great time!!!!

    Hope the following link helps a bit. I would think it's all about having a bit of fun with fashion for the day in a manner of speaking.

    Be colorful, bright, and fun. :)

    Thanks! I love horses, so I'm pretty excited to go. The dress is about 2 inches above the knee (not short to most people, but I hate anything above the knee)!
