I need help on getting an outfit including dress, shose and purse for a black tie event in mid October. I always like the bright, colorful and sexy evening wear but my date think I should keep it down a bit.

I am thinking lamb skin Chanel on the purse but didn't want to spent a lot on the dress.
Can anyone help?

TIA

The Notte by Marchesa dress that pchans is considering and just love it!!! But I don't know if I want to spent that much on the dress since I can't really wear it after this event. Anyone know other designer has similiar dress?

Hi Claire! I would love to help- but I think we need more background on your event and what type of crowd will be at the black tie event. Will it be an older crowd (warranting conservative dress), will it be mixed? Is it a fundraiser or wedding?

It's a R&D award night at a ballroom. I am going as a guest with my bf. I don't have much information on people's age but I believe people would need at least in their mid/late 20s or above to get this award. At least the other people in my b.f.'s team are in their 30-40s.

Hi Claire

For a black-tie event, you can probably go daring with a long, jewel-toned gown

Metallic is an on-trend thing:

I've seen some people rocking the little black dress at these things. And if you're young enough, I think you could definitely get away with it:

For the safest bet, and if you want to blend in, you can't go wrong with a full length black gown (that way you can let your bling and your bag shine).
