Posh tunic?

I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm looking for a long, smart (and preferably beautiful) tunic-type thing, to wear either with tights or trousers. Not a floaty beachwear kaftan, but something that would look good at a posh do. Possibly embroidered; possibly Indian-style; possibly not - I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you!

I think tunics are very casual items if clothing would be hard to dress up enough for posh evening event if you're wearing with tights why not a dress? I did have a navy silk embellished tunic from boden a while back I wore it as a dress they came in navy and dark grey and were lined. I ebayed it if that's the sort of thing you're thinking I can track one down and link later on?

I bought a tunic last week which really surprised me as it looks much better on than in the pictures and is from Bon Marche which I always thought was an old lady shop. (Am just hoping I don't run into any old ladies wearing it now!) I wore it as smart casual but it might dress up with chunky jewellery.

Actually I am embarrased by the picture I've linked to, it looks truly awful Blush but, I kid you not, I wore it on Saturday night with straight leg black trousers and got lots of compliments
