I know nothing of posh dressing but you know me I'll share my opinion anyway:) I think this dress is too casual for black tie. I think elegance is the key, over the top luscious elegance. Be sure to trim your retro bush;) too:)))). How exciting a huge bash and your birthday round the corner.

I always don't know what to wear in these kind of situations, but I follow few rules: don't dress up like I'm going to a masquerade (individual style must always be revealed from what I wear), choose something new from the charity shop (it inspires me more to have a new dress to wear) and when in doubt black clothes always come in handy!<br />Have fun!!
