Well, standard etiquette is that white tie is only worn with tails; black tie
otherwise.

Of course, in the Z world, white tie is only worn if you're doing full proofs
and refinement (using one of those really fancy support tools); black tie
if you're merely formalising requirements.

Yes, of course they do!!   Lots of "ladies" attended the dinner.
But I should warn you that I was scolded to referring to "ladies"
rather than women.

| sif so, what do they have to wear?

Apparently, they have to dress "appropriately"; I have no idea what
that means, but presumably it doesn't mean "black tie" (or even white
tie -- see previous posting!)
