Any ideas on dresses would be really appreciated!! |
A true "black tie" event for women is floor length gowns where you can barely see the shoes and hair is either "done up" (updoo) or neatly pulled back. Long time ago, it was elbow length gloves to match the dress. Jewelry was the real stuff or nice set of simple pearl necklace and button pearl earrings.
Nowadays, folks are clueless depending on where you live. I have not been to a true "black tie" affair in a lonnngggggg time. When you go to get your jewelry, depending on where you go, they have specialists to assist you. I know the Nieman Marcus, Nordstrom's, Tiffany's and Movado's stores know how this is done.
Just trying to help.
