They can just rent a tux. For women, you can go anywhere from cocktail dress (depending on the time of the event) to long gown, though full on ball gown is (happily) not likely. I love the suggestion to wear a long Cheongsam (I think that's the right word!).Daphne Unfeasiblehttp://ktliterary.com/daphnenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7013340946541374911.post-60069528861238896682013-01-21T07:57:13.583-08:002013-01-21T07:57:13.583-08:00A dark suit would do, but traditionally it is a tu...A dark suit would do, but traditionally it is a tux. Long gown for you. Do you have a Chinese dress that is long?

And it didn't cost very much (my bank account freaks out over things like this, too). <br /><br />Ask your friend, the one who invited you, what she would like you to wear. That's what I did. <br /><br />And have fun! :o) Myrna Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534358757278599925noreply@blogger.com
