Suitable for black tie?

[PolaDeVeboise]

woukd you wear this dress to a summer black tie occasion?

Just look at evening dresses on John Lewis and you’ll find something suitable that can be delivered quickly to your nearest Waitrose

I rate black tie as being something distinct from day wear, as in it would be hard to wear to a daytime occasion. So needs to have some of satin/lace/chiffon/sparkles/velvet and/or be an evening wear type silhouette (long/revealing) to kind of set it apart.

This kind of thing, looks summery with the light fabric and colour

I think these work for spring, summer or autumn black tie.

If you have a week to go but know your side in the jolie dress what other styles do they have in?

not sure about your height but Scarlett and jo would be an easy choice….too long for me normally. I’m an 18 5ft4.

And if it was me and very short of time I’d just go for this if it was in my size.

not really the right look but I feel happy in red and could add some glam accessories

No

Don’t like the pink stripes much but the same dress comes in an electric blue which is far better.

I think the dress is the better option and would look fine with the right shoes and maybe some discreet jewellery, nothing too blingy. Love the jumpsuit but I would go with the dress. Don't waste your money on an alternative . However I often see nice black tie / posh dresses in local charity shops so if like me you like a hunt around then maybe have a browse for something second hand. Personally I like the dress though

What a super kind offer. And it’s an absolutely perfect dress.

imo the cape isn’t hot-making, neccesarily! It’s very lovely, as well.
