| ♫♥☼☮♫ Full Member   Gender: Female Orientation: Gay Woman Out Status: Some people Location: Boston Age: 29 Posts: 187 Join Date: Sep 2010 |  formal dress for a girl who doesn't wear dresses... My company's having a formal holiday party in a few weeks. Women = dresses. Men = jacket and tie. I don't do dresses, and I'm stumped as to what to wear. I think I need to find something in between. But I'm not sure what that is. Part of me actually wants to wear a jacket and tie. But a) I would be totally nervous, and b) I'm a 4'11" female, where am I going to find a guys suit/jacket/tie that fits? I'm thinking maybe trying XL in boys (kids) sizes. But not sure if that will work. Might be a long shot, but, any suggestions as to what an 'in between' formal outfit might be, or even where to find a jacket/tie outfit for a (small) woman?  |

Go to your local department store and there will be a Petite section in the women's apparel area which will cater directly for you. |

I agree with what has already been said, and as a girl that doesnt really do dresses either I can sympathise. I have usually ended up wearing a dress in the past to the actual formal balls and functions I have been to, but any other times such as when I have been a guest at a wedding or something I have gone for a trouser suit, so I think that would be best. |
