Black Tie Attire

Hi ladies,

 I have a wedding to go to next weekend and it is a Black Tie Event. Can I wear a short dress or does it have to be long?

 TIA!

Re: Black Tie Attire

  • I think it completely depends on the dress.

    I definately don't think a sun dress would work, but perhaps a bit nicer cocktail could.

  • Yes, I do a lot of black tie weddings and its completely fine to wear a short cocktail dress.
  • I usually wear a black knee length cocktail dress to black tie weddings.

    agreed. As long as its not a summery short dress its fine to go short.

    here's a nordie's list called "Guest of a wedding"  < --- almost all of those are short, some are not black-tie appropriate though. The "Cocktail" list better fits short+black tie.

    HTH!

  • I think with all events the most important thing to think about is material.  A short cotton dress is not going to be appropriate for a black tie event, but something made of silk would most likely work.
