This dress looks so much more beautiful on you than it did on the model on the Outnet website! Love!
One could have worse or more difficult resolutions! I think this is one you should be able to keep hands down.Thank you lovely ladies
That's a really pretty dress, and it looks great on you! I want one like that now.Another mod shot
(Please ignore the clutter in the room)
The dress looks great on you! You're so tall and thin! If I had your figure I think I'd wear tons of HL to show it off.

Thank you all so much! This is only my second HL but I think I'm hooked now.
Would Herve be appropriate for a black tie event? I have a masquerade theme birthday party to attend for a close friends teenage daughter and the attire is black tie. I'm itching to find an excuse to wear my red Sydney dress but not sure if it would be appropriate. Opinions?
Black tie implies cocktail dresses doesn't it? So I'd say yes, appropriate event
Expect a lot of attention wearing a red Sydney dress though I would say no. But it does depend on whether they truly mean black tie or if they just mean dressy. True black tie is tuxedos for the men and gowns for the women. Some people get away with black suits for the men and nice cocktail dresses for the women, so maybe you could do an especially dressy HL (like one of the ones with sequins or beads), but I think a red Sydney is a little too casual for true black tie.
I would guess that because it's a birthday, it's on the "cocktail dresses are appropriate for black tie" end. Dress it up with dressier shoes and jewelry and I think you are fine. But if you're unsure, ask your friend if gowns are expected. Nowadays, most black tie events are mixed with cocktail dresses and long gowns.
I always thought gowns down to the floor for for ladies was white tie? Maybe there are some cultural differences here
Traditionally black tie is an evening gown for women and a tuxedo for men, and white tie is a ball gown for women and tailcoats for men. But nobody really wears ball gowns and tailcoats anymore. Both terms have become less formal I think. Cocktail dresses are not uncommon at black tie events anymore. I still wouldn't wear one though, just to be on the safe side, particularly at a masquerade.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I ran it over with her and she said it's totally fine. I definitely agree with rosecam east coast vs west coast makes a very big difference.
