Finding the correct level of formality

[davedove]

Now that I've booked a room at Ferintosh for my better half and myself for the Burns supper do in January, it's about time to start planning what to wear. So ... what to wear?

I am a bit uncertain as to what level of formality would be deemed correct for the occasion in Scotland, so any advise on that is appreciated. I see from the pictures of earlier do's that people have different tastes, but PC coatees are common. Is that the way to go?

I'd say that generally Robertson and Emma will just be glad that you can both attend. Looking at the photos of past years it seems that the level of formality is simply what the attendees can do, or are comfortable with.

It would seem to me that the people to ask would be the Robertsons. After all, it's their affair, so they have the right to set the formality. But, as Glen said, it appears they are just glad you attend. Since PC's seem to be the norm, that would tell me to go with the PC.
