Question for ladies who attend Black Tie functions - For a Black Tie Business function... is it mandatory for women to wear long gowns? Would you wear a cocktail dress? I have both in my closet (hope the long one fits), I just found out we have a function to attend in beginning of June.

Re: Black Tie - dress code for women
traditionally black tie means long gown... we are putting black tie preferred on our invitations but Im sure some women will still come dressed in cocktail dresses. Can you clarify w/ the person in charge? I would probably wear a gown for a black tie business function...

It's a business function so there is no one to clarify with.

Re: Black Tie - dress code for women
Usually I would say gown BUT there are a lot of cute cocktail dresses out there that would look awesome dressed up with some accessories. I don't know what I was watching (maybe E!) but they said short dresses are in on the red carpet!

I would think a long gown. I went to a black tie affair last month and about 90% of the women were in long gowns.
