Q. I have a black tie wedding in Chicago. Do I have to wear a long dress?
-Formal Fear
A. Black tie does not require wearing a long gown anymore , but the invite does expect you to wear a sophisticated, elegant and feminine dress. Think upscale cocktail dress, with a hem that hits around the knee or just below it. Skip animal prints, white dresses, mini lengths, chunky jewelry and your everyday handbag. Carry a clutch, put on your best jewelry that works with the dress, pull on your heels, walk with good posture and smile often.
