First the architecture of the building stopped me in my tracks, and then I couldn't get beyond the food gallery. Which was like porn. omg.&nbsp; In this environment fashion would be the last thing on my mind, hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1301420 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 18:31:32 +0000 rachylou 1301420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a look at the gallery and video. Seems most are dressed business-like. I didn't see jewels and fur... um, not that fur would be advisable. </p> <p>I like the idea of a navy silk, something silky. But I'd also personally love the opportunity to wear my shiny cocktail dress - I'd perhaps do it despite the discreet atmosphere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1301049 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 04:47:08 +0000 Phatgranny 1301049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love to see you in the black dress with ruffles. &nbsp;Sounds elegant. &nbsp;Your "roomie" sounds like a cool guy. &nbsp;I like him! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300922 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 01:52:41 +0000 annagybe 1300922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True Jenava, we're going at the end of July </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300918 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 01:50:21 +0000 Jenava 1300918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Navy dress idea.&nbsp; Isn't the black a little heavier?&nbsp; If it's any time soon you'll want something cooler, I'd imagine.&nbsp; I like the idea of the navy dress because it's a little more stylish/interesting but still elegant.&nbsp; I wouldn't go too conservative...it's not a funeral or a professional event!&nbsp; You're there to have fun and enjoy yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300915 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 01:45:41 +0000 annagybe 1300915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or I have a custom made black dress.

It has short sleeves and is a straight sack style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300871 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 00:11:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 1300871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Gaylene. Cocktail reads more party to me where elegant &amp;&nbsp;sophisticated sound more fitting for a&nbsp;fancy dinner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300815 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 22:33:21 +0000 Diana 1300815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow!&nbsp; I vote for fun cocktail too.&nbsp; Seems like the type of place where you get all types of "dressed up" from people coming from work in suits or even biz casual to people in evening dress.&nbsp; So I say have fun with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300809 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 22:28:38 +0000 cciele 1300809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Gaylene! "Dress up" definitely has different meanings to different people.<br />That restaurant looks awesome -- you'll have to do a food/drink report Anna!<br />Meanwhile, I think elegant cocktail dress would work.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300806 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 22:25:44 +0000 kkards 1300806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, it's been ages since if been to a restaurant with a dress code. It looks lovely. I'm thinking that most of your opera capsule would be appropriate.<br /> Have fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300798 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 22:09:26 +0000 Gaylene 1300798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Cocktail" is a slippery adjective. There are cocktail dresses and there are cocktail dresses. Maybe "elegant" or "sophisticated" might be better guidelines when choosing a dress? </p> <p>It reminds me of the time when a career adviser told a group of mostly 18-20 year-old female students to "dress up" for their on-campus company interviews. A few showed up in the traditional suits, but a good half of the them showed up in either eye-popping club wear or taffeta/chiffon bridesmaid dresses. Lesson learned... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300793 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 22:07:03 +0000 MsMary 1300793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say wear whatever dressy outfit makes you feel the most awesome.&nbsp; Maybe something you don't otherwise often have the chance to wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300790 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 22:01:15 +0000 AviaMariah 1300790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like fun! &nbsp;I echo what other's say that either way should be fine; just whatever you're feeling. &nbsp;Can't wait to see what you choose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300787 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:58:57 +0000 Tanya 1300787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for a cocktail dress, that has a bit of edge to it.&nbsp; Can't wait to see what you end up wearing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300785 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:58:31 +0000 Marmee 1300785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last time I was there I wore an asymmetrical Isabel Marent dress and i felt fine. There were conservativelt dressed women, but I remember seeing a woman with a giant bejeweled artistic necklace that definitely wasn't conservative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300784 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:57:52 +0000 Dana 1300784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked at the site's video. It looks like it a combo of conservative and cocktail. What would feel best to you? I'd probably go cocktail-ish but not over the top dressy. That's just me...have a great time!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300783 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:57:15 +0000 carter 1300783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocktail dress, cute shoes and a clutch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fancy-restaurant#post-1300780 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 21:48:37 +0000 annagybe 1300780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My old college friend is going to be in the area for an mountaineering course. In exchange for him crashing at my place he's going to take me to probably the fanciest restaurant in town for dinner. They have a dress code even. <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://canlis.com/">http://canlis.com/</a><br />He's been living in France for seven years, so he can handle the dress code. Blazer, slacks etc.<br />For me I know a dress. But can it skew more cocktail, or should I go conservative like a sheath?<br />Help! </p>
