i like cocktail length for black tie optional. i feel ridiculous being overdressed in a really formal gown next to people in less dramatic clothes so i never really do it if there's the option [ Reply | More ]

If its black tie optional would definitely not opt for the gown. There will be too many people dressing less formally. I usually expect only close family members or wedding party people to wear gown length. [ Reply | More ]

Then they should have written black tie. That's not what optional means. Plus even these days a lot/most of women wear cocktail length dresses to black tie. [ Reply | More ]
