That is horrific on every level.

My impression of the style -very very conservative, very boring. No designer in sight.
I will ask for photos, that’s great idea.
I am thinking LBD will do just fine.

I would want to know a couple of things:

- How formal people tend to get at this event
- What style vibe people go with (more conservative, more artistic, designer, etc)

Can you try to look at photos from previous years - or ask your husband to ask his female coworkers what they wear to this?

In that case go with a regular black suit with a velvet jacket or a red/green/gold sweater under the blazer. Don't really need to think about it that much.

The event will be in a historic hotel and in the evening. I don’t know the exact time yet.
Their firm is pretty conservative but at the same time everyone is very relaxed. People wear hoodies and caps to the office. But I am not sure how dressy they get for holidays.

I know it’s early, but November will go fast.
I need to find an outfit/dress for a Christmas party at my spouse law firm.
Party will be in Seattle, so my understanding it will be less fancy than on the East Coast?
I am 5’5, 115 pounds, 43 y.o. Pretty fit, but don’t have great arms or legs. So no mini probably.
