black tie, white tie

[Cherub]

would it be also acceptable to wear a tartan waistcoat for either?

What was that earlier message about the Nuveau "Non Classe".........

I've been to an event held by these..... It was a wedding announcement an we were told to bring a donation for "the Gift" we brought our own. The only people dressed correctly were the Friend of the couple the rest were dressed appallingly Bermuda shorts with ill fitting and clashing shorts coats and Hawaiian shirts and the like it was bad. and then they conveniently forgot about the gifts that were brought by friends. Brought no class to a level I have never seen and hope to never see again.
