White Tie

[Bugbear]

Something is a little off here. The novel first anounced that the upcoming event was black tie, I made note of that, but The character was clearly dressed in white tie, and at the event, a dance, the gentalmen's white ties were mention... Nothing about black tie came up. I don't think this dance was exactly a public event either.

I started reading these novels partly because I hoped to get descriptions (no pictures) of the attire. These take place in modern Scotland for the most part.
