There are only 2 other girls in the office, they haven't got a clue either 
I'll ask the boss when he gets back if its black tie or not.
Think I'll opt for a dress, either that or I've got dressy cream trousers and a bustier top

If it's Black Tie ladies should really where either an Evening Gown or Cocktail Dress

Here's a couple of definitions for you, hope they help
Cocktail Dress
Evening Gown
I know Cocktail Dresses are considered more appropriate for less formal black tie occasions such as awards dinners and the like

Thanks Moe 
Well I deffo don't have an evening gown 
I have one dress that maybe fits into the cocktail dress catagory, but I think it might be a bit fancy/bare for this occasion 


I've got on LBD that I've never worn, I'll try it on tonight and see what I think
