Little Black Dress-Versatile for Any Party

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I'm going on a business trip with my husband, and there will be a dinner party at the hotel for all the managers and their spouses. What outfit can I pack that will be versatile for whatever type party this is?

Signed,

Dear Party Dress,

You haven't specified what type of dinner party this will be such as casual, cocktail, semi-formal, or formal. Assuming it's not very formal, then you can't go wrong with a little black dress. A simple sleeveless sheath in black cotton-blend knit will pack wonderfully. It can be dressed up or down depending on your accessories (shoes or jewelry). Also, depending on the season, wear strappy black sandals with beige nylons or no nylons, or black pumps or high heels with black nylons for a longer leg look.
