Frequently Asked Questions

One Honey Boutique – Black Tie Dresses Australia

What should I wear to a black tie event?

Black tie usually calls for a floor-length evening gown. Satin, sequin, crepe and beaded fabrics all suit the dress code. A cocktail-length dress is only appropriate if the invitation says black tie optional.

Do black tie dresses have to be black?

No. Black tie is a dress code, not a colour. Any colour works, from black and navy to jewel tones and metallics, as long as the gown is formal and floor-length.

What is the difference between black tie and formal?

Black tie is stricter: think full-length gowns and elegant fabrics. Formal or black tie optional events give you more room, including dressy midi and cocktail styles.

Can I try on black tie dresses in person?

Yes. Book a fitting at our Gold Coast showroom, Australia's largest prom and formal showroom, with thousands of styles to try on and take home.
