I would suggest the ever popular simple black dress with a shawl perhaps ( ... )

Yeah, you can't go wrong with a little black dress. And the shawl makes it very classy. ^^ If you need even more classy yet, try pearls. But keep it very, very simple. That is the main thing. Classy=simple, always.

Thanks so much for your help!

I definitely will say don't wear jeans, and generally only the really dedicated or crazy wear formal attire (or if it's a very special event). Some people do wear jeans, but then the regular theatre-goers throw dirty looks. Either a simple dress or a skirt/pretty shirt is my typical theatre attire, or a nice sweater/shirt and black pants if you don't want to buy a dress or skirt.

Re: athenaeriu February 16 2004, 14:33:02 UTC

As for length...anything but mini pretty much goes. I managed to find a skirt at Deb's that is asymmetrical, black, just-above-knee to mid-calf length and has layers for really cheap (I think it was on sale or clearance, but *shrugs* clearance rocks) for a pseudo-formal fundraiser event that my boyfriend had to go to, and at the same place I managed to find a gorgeous burgandy color shirt with one of those low-cut loose-fabric-drapey necklines for also pretty cheap (the entire outfit, plus a $7 necklace cost me about $30) to go with it. I've worn floor-length dresses, above-the-knee length dresses/skirts, I've worn slacks and khakis and various other types of dress pants...

When I'm home later I'll try to find some good pics, and maybe I can find a couple of pics of me at the theatre, too...

oooh, such good finds!! soo this Deb's place. is this a michigan thing only? what's the full name of the store? or is that it? lol, can you tell i'm not a shopaholic? ;)

Very cool default icon btw. Metamorphoses. My college just finished performing it :)

I can't help you out since I wear jeans and t-shirts ALL the time. I just wanted to say that I agree with your toe statement.

hahaha, woohoo! I'm glad someone understands that ;P

Re: "I agree with your toe statement." too_much_keaton February 18 2004, 15:37:33 UTC

Hehe. I think we're the only two people like this though, or else not so many people would wear sandals.

Re: "I agree with your toe statement." hydingout February 19 2004, 17:49:51 UTC

hahaha, no kidding. i can't even stand shoe shopping. Bleh

classic black is stunning; shawl would emphasize ....shoes -- payless (unless you plan on attending MANY more formal sttings...length -- I suggest ankle...
-----and I only own 10 formals------
Good luck and enjoy
