pale blue lace dress Light Long Sleeve – Kirsty's Kloset and delicate front tie detail Gorgeous Deep V-neck Illusion Back

If your child is a friend or acquaintance, a tie is not necessary, especially if he keeps his jacket buttoned

keep a clean fluffy blending brush and buff in circular motions to blend out If you mess up or need to erase, use a dry Q-tip

The cut should photograph well from every angle most black tie guests are seated for the bulk of the night, so the bodice and waist matter more than the train

For example, if you select a 40 jacket and 34 trousers, your Backup Suit will include a 42 jacket and 36 trousers

A hair flower, a small vintage handbag or a pearl necklace will further complete the outfit and create an elegant retro style

Reach for a white dress shirt and grey dress pants if you are aiming for a modish look
