have you bought it?

I like it, but I'm going to say not for a black tie do.

i think its really really awful sorry.

NO. Just that really.

I've been to black tie events where ladies have turned up in skirts and blouses, so wear it if you want to.

If your question is would I wear it to a black tie do, the answer is no.

Thanks ladies! There's a reason the voice in my head says no!
