A black tie gala, whether a charity event, a museum benefit, or a major institutional celebration, is the most formally observed of the black tie occasion types

As you arent there to be the center of attention, therefore, you should instead keep patterns small and simple or solid shirts in sedate colors, like white, cream, and blues, and avoid any fun or engaging accessories or designs

This outfit is especially practical for unpredictable weather, as the long cardigan can be removed or kept on as the temperature changes throughout the day

Its the perfect gown to turn heads at a Steampunk event, or a Gothic Masquerade ball, or wherever you should choose to wear it
