I have a very smart wedding to go to in December and also potentially a black tie dinner in the new year. I don't really have black tie clothes in my wardrobe. I'm wondering whether one of these dresses might work for both occasions. I'd love to wear the hat I bought for my brother's wedding which is purple velvet with black and gold ribbon/beading. I've also got a big purple wrap that might do instead of a coat, depending how cold it is on the day of the wedding. If it's very cold, my smartest coat is ivory coloured.
ETA Or this one:
What does s_y think?
The hat is
here, by the way.
E again TA: Have ordered the first dress and may have accidentally added a
black sequinned skirt to the bag. I'm thinking that if I don't like the dress, I can probably find an outfit for the wedding and wear the skirt for black tie. And if I do, I might just keep both anyway. We'll see.
