I so appreciate your support. </p> <p>I tried it on again last night and settled on shoes, bag and jewelry, all things that I already had. Too often when I've bought things at the last minute I spent a lot on something I wore once. The skirt and jacket were on sale at great prices and I do think they will be practical additions to a formal capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154811 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 03:50:41 +0000 Sveta 1154811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is nice and flattering but the tux is spectacular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154721 Sat, 01 Feb 2014 01:35:21 +0000 gryffin 1154721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie - omg!!

I am horrible with jewelry/hosiery/shoe advice, but I just had to comment on how stunning, sleek and elegant this look is on you! So well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154447 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 20:10:14 +0000 Angie 1154447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the tux. Killer Spectacular.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154205 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 15:41:29 +0000 modgrl 1154205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have a statement necklace, I don't think you "need" a cami, but it all depends on your comfort level with this much cleavage. I am good with it esp for formal wear but that is really your call. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154204 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 15:40:21 +0000 Susie 1154204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more question please....bare legs or black fishnets? (I am fine with bare legs as far as temp because it's not overly cold plus where we park takes us directly inside.) Are bare legs seasonally confused with velvet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154201 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 15:38:37 +0000 Susie 1154201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I so appreciate all the positive responses, thank you so much. </p> <p>I still have to decide on the shoes- either black fabric pumps, a pewter and black sating sandal or a black satin sling back with a bit of beading. The bag will be one of two, the first is a silver leather in an interesting shape, the other is a bit more pewter leather. </p> <p>I have a couple of necklaces to consider. I plan to try everything on tonight and decide on the accessories. </p> <p>If I need a camisole, should it be lace? Or perhaps silvery? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154165 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:51:44 +0000 modgrl 1154165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tux! Sorry I didn't see the original thread so I am not sure of the occasion. If it is appropriate, I would add some serious sparkle and bling in the form of a rhinestone necklace. Also, how about&nbsp; a bright, metallic or sparkle bag to break up the black? The dress is very nice on you too if you decide on that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154153 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:29:31 +0000 MuseumGal 1154153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes yes yes on the tux, fabulous to the max. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1154152 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 14:27:22 +0000 catgirl 1154152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A hundred thumbs up for the tux!

Shopping queen extraordinaire! Holy moly, you do not mess around. Three hours ago you were despairing of finding something and now you have TWO fab outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>I absolutely love the tux skirt outfit on you --- that is fantastic and feels very "you" in every way. Plus, how fun -- you will get wear from each piece separately later on.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress looks really pretty as well. And if it turns out to be exceptionally warm on the weekend, you could always pull it out instead.&nbsp;</p> <p>So glad it all worked out, and I am amazed at how well these work right off the rack. Lucky!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-wear--tuxedo-my-way#post-1153938 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 04:03:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 1153938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely owning it.

There was one long gown that I liked and it was fairly flattering but I really wanted something with sleeves. I also liked the idea of a tuxedo. </p> <p>I ended up getting a long velvet skirt and jacket with 3/4 sleeves and tuxedo lapels. I also bought a short dress with sleeves that has tiers and beading at the cuffs and shoulders. I have another gala, more cocktail dress level of formal, to which I could wear the dress. </p> <p>I think I will need to wear a cami iunder the jacket but other than that the fit seems good. </p> <p>What do you think? </p>
