If there is a ‘White Tie’ dress
code on your invitation, be
aware it’s the dressiest of all.
A long black evening gown
is the most appropriate,
although other dark colors
like navy or burgundy may
be worn.
Accessories should be
simple and class, such as
a pearl necklace, diamond
(or crystal) earrings and
a small neutral toned clutch.
Hair and makeup: the best
choice is an elegant updo,
shimmery neutral eyes and
nude or light pink lips.

GET THE PERFECT LOOK: Dressy materials like silk or satin tend to show every bump and blemish.
Spanx can help slim and smooth your body so that the center of attention is your dress, not
the indentation of your belly button.
