So, FI and I are attending a white tie evening wedding in a few weeks. He will have to rent a tux with tails, hat, gloves and the whole deal as a guest. But, what is appropriate for me to wear? I have a few long dresses, but they are strapless. Does a white tie event mean I should wear something more conservative?

    Ladies wear floor-length dresses to white tie events.

    It doesn't have to be more conservative; just fancy.  Strapless floor length dresses are fine.

    Wow, what a pain for male guests who have to rent tuxes with tails and hats.

    Long dress, strapless is fine. You will probably want to get some long gloves for yourself.

    I think a long dress is fine, though you probably want to have something to cover your shoulders during the ceremony and seated meal.   A shawl or shrug would be fine.

    Thanks. I really didn't want to buy another long dress for this, but I'm not opposed to getting a shawl for the strapless formal dress I have. We are already spending enough on this. FI just had a custom tux made and he can't wear it! Ah well, not my wedding.
