I'm a college student.
And if you've been invited to said formal event, you probably run with people that would already know these things. However, I don't...and I'm sure you don't either. That's why you're still reading.
Ok, think The recent royal nuptuals and associated fuctions. Wikipedia says the following for women's attire
" Although female dress is not as formally codified as that of men, where white tie is prescribed women are expected to wear full-length dresses such as ball gowns. Dresses with lengths above the ankle (such as cocktail or tea-length dresses) are frowned upon and considered inappropriate. Depending on the formality of the event, bare shoulders may or may not be acceptable. Shawls and long gloves are common accessories. Women's gloves should be white and elbow-length...and are never taken off until seated at a table. At the most formal balls, ball gowns are often required to be white. At hunt balls, ball gowns are often required to be black, white, silver or gold.
Where state decorations are worn it will usually be appropriate for royal and aristocratic women to wear tiaras."
Think Fred Astaire in The Royal Wedding
Or your 8 am lecture could just be THAT boring. Digressing, yet again.
Ok, so...here are some White Tie affair ideas incorporating some of this season's trends. And if you know a thing or two about me, you know alot of them are going to be black.
Or Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday (one of my most favorite movies of all time)
My kind of party.
Till soon, much love,
