BikeBookBread Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Okay, DH's new job here in the DC area has opened up a new world of possibilities, including attendance at a black tie gala event in November at the Air and Space Smithosonian. I'm just planning ahead!!! :w00t: Does this mean full length ball-gown? Probably not cocktail dress, right? He would be wearing AF mess dress or more likely, black tie (as it is not a military event, but a National Traffic and Safety Board- NTSB - event).

charmama4 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 oh dear, I don't know but it sounds exciting!!! Are there any wives of guys your dh works with that could help ya out. They may even know of a great store to shop at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 OMH - my dh went to a black tie at A&S last year - I begged off - I have an attitude that when his employer pays me to attend those things, I will. Anyway, you love Nordstrom's, right? Black, probably. Mid-calf - nothing near or above the knee. Think Saturday night wedding at a five star hotel. And, Lord and Taylor's has an excellent 'aftr five' department. Is there a Loehmann's near you? Falls Church? The Back Room. HTH - we are getting ready to leave for NJ and another goalie camp - will call you next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, (not NTSB) but he attended last year - there are FAA people and DHS people and others who are invited. Is this the one that is downtown or at Udvar Hazy? I know that I refer to it as 'tux season' and I make sure that everything is ready to wear.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
