That's not a question I'm bothered with most of the time. Not much.
But now I am. Because I have an opportunity to go to the opening of an exhibition... and there will be the Latvian president present in there. So I suppose it's going to be a very formal occasion.
So, please, could you you help me out? What would be appropriate to wear to such an event, when it takes place at 16:00 / 4 PM? That's about as much as I know about it...
How exciting! I love planning outfits but I never buy any new clothes unless I absolutely have to.What kind of exhibition is it? Is it really formal like "gown" formal? When is it, do you have time to buy or sew something new?
ReplyDeleteI like this dress:

But I would make an adjustment to the neckline using a very thin, off-white muslin-like fabric :

This is similar to the fabric I would use for the neckline:

This is fun. What are you thinking of wearing? Give us a fashion show.
Unfortunately, it's on Monday - it's on short notice... So no time for buying or making. But I like your idea of the dress refashion! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's not gown formal, as far as we know.
How about a simple but elegant tea length dress (just above the knee) with a pair of nice flats?
