Tips for Dressing Up

         Do wear black for an evening affair if the event is black tie.

         Do keep dyed shoes in the closet with the bridesmaid dress.

         Do take advantage of the "Bring 'em back--shoes, that is--we'll dye

          'em black" policy. Don't, however, wear dyed shoes if there's any chance

          of snow or rain. The color is likely to bleed.

         Do carry a small evening bag and don't overstuff it.

         Do sew Velcro on strapless bras and on your dress to keep everything in place.

         Don't wear a casual watch with very dressy clothes.

         Don't wear a casual jacket over a fancy dress.

         Don't wear anything too tight, too sexy or too see-through.

         Don't wear uncomfortable shoes.

         Don't upstage the bride in something that's too attention getting.
