Dress code for boyfriends grad?

LadyE

As the title says - my boyfriends grad is in novemeber and Im stumped as what to wear...would it be formal, dressy?

I dont want to stick out like a sore thumb

Generally quite formal/dressyish affairs.

Think of wearing something that you would wear out, as in stylish/fitted, but that would err on the side of demure/classy. Also consider wearing shoes that are reasonably comfortable, as there can be a lot of hanging/standing around, and also choose an outfit with which a nice coat can be matched, as grads in November can often be cold and wet!!!

Any key?

something fairly classy like a fitted black dress with heels

defo wear a good coat I made that mistake last year was freeeeeeeeezing!

Thanks for the replies girls

I have a lovely dress, boob tube, fitte don the waist and goes a bit flowey after the waist with a black sah around the waist..goes to just below my knee, bit much?

Its black but has gold flower things and a black net over the top so the pattern looks bronze- and the sah is black, with a nice black coat and bolero for when Im inside to cover my shoulders?

Try and find some pictures from last years graduation and see what the standard is line so you can dress accordingly.
If in doubt I would go with formal as formal sits better in casual better the casual sits amongst formal.
Or say 'teh hell with opinions" and go as you please.

Along side this idea of grads, mine is coming up and i can't think of what to wear! So any ideas would be a help...

I'm quite busty and curvy so i'm thinking it'll have to be a nice curved top- kinda dress?
