[Unsacred Cow]

Good question. David, it takes us girls 6 months to plan on what to wear for dinner - can you help us out with some guidelines?

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Gorilla suit

Oh, so just 'come as you are', eh?

[Praxis]

Hey, you beat me to it! I was going to post this question today :)

I'm guessing it won't be full-on formal but nor will it be "me best jeans'n't-shirt" either ;)

I shall indeed be sourcing a new frock and naturally some new shoes (but who needs an excuse?!) - out of respect for the esteemed speakers of course :D

[davo]

I'm thinking a full length number myself :)

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Oh, so just 'come as you are', eh?Why it's all to do with evolution...

[Lee]

What will be the dress code for the Dinner?

It's black tie and ball gowns.

[Sir Patrick Crocodile]

Until I used Google I thought a ball gown had some resemblance to a ball bearing.

[Lee]

Joking!!!

:D

Jez LURV it !!

[Mister Pervert]

What will be the dress code for the Dinner?

Depends on the media that might be there to greet me on the dread carpet. Melbourne, in March? Probably ill-fitting leather garments.

[Chrys Stevenson]

Shall I wear me tiara and best Sunday-go-ta-meetin' gum boots?

The kid and the guy with the beaut hat have the right colours. They match the logo.

[Chrys Stevenson]

Is the David Nicholls hair obligatory?

Good Folk,

Any or all of the suggestions so far look OK to me. That’s a very clever sign by Protium with the people bearing the Convention colours.

Santa is not suitable. G-strings musts be neat and hold in what they are supposed to.

Yes, I did look like Elvis when I was younger; I now look more like him as he is today. :D

Joking!!!

:D
I'm actually very disappointed - I do love a nice black tie/ballgown event :)

Still, I do hope that people respect the fact that it is a formal(ish) dinner and dress accordingly. I really hope not to see anyone in old jeans and a t-shirt and that people put some effort in.

[atheist_angel]

I hear ya! Have you ever seen what battery acid can do to a pair of jeans? They might get wrecked! :eek: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/29/62346578_2e143c2d93.jpg

Dude, we're paying A$100 to go to this dinner... Personally, I take that as an indication that it might just be a bit flash eh

[Durro]

I'll be wearing a suit to the dinner.

But far more casual during the daytime lectures.

You win the approval of the ladies, Durro.

Dreading the thought of trudging around Brisbane in a fruitless effort to find something suitable to wear to such a grand shindig - I took the easy way out and bought my party rags online from the US. Quite excited, we don't get to scrub up too often out here in the sticks.

He's coming as my man-bag. And he has to wear a suit because every girl knows how important it is to accessorise.

$100? Flash? I guess,if you emphasise 'a bit". (I'd say $100 a head is modest)

From what I've read,the organisers have done a first rate job of keeping costs as low as possible. (eg none of the speakers are being paid)


I would wear suit the whole time,no tie,polished shoes. (I would even iron the shirt,which would be red or black,rather than than my usual in-yer-face Hawaiian) Of course I would also wear my black Akubra, trim my beard neatly and clean my glasses with Windex..:D

The only jewelry I wear is a 1969 stainless steel Rolex.

Correction: Brisbane? Hot? In that in that case no jacket unless in air conditioning.

I really wanted to know what I should wear to the dinner. The present arrangement for me is that I shall be staying with a mate in Broadford, so what I wear on day of the dinner will be what I wear to the dinner. I not longer possess a suit. There is nowhere to wear one on the "Cold" Coast, so, at the age of 70, I can't justify the expense of one. I do have a lovely Yves Saint Laurent Camel Jacket that I bought in Melbourne about 28 years ago. It does not fit me now, unless I try to loose my pregant middle. I would choke in a tie. Last time I wore one was as an extra in a Hugh Jackman movie: "Paperback Hero" in 1998 and my agent loaned me that tie. I have a neat pair of trousers, some NASA T-Shirts and, if they come some Atheist Nexus T-Shirts and a NASA Flight Jacket (Very warm and comfortable).

Unless I am declared as Regimentally "Undressed" that is what I propose to wear to the dinner.

Seriously I like the AN or nasa t's NASA jacket sounds great. If my total finances stretch it would be jogers jeans a tasteful T and jacket what were atheists not barbie or ken freking dolls,.. :cool:

$100 might be average for you grown-ups, but when you're a scarfie, $20 is an extravagant dinner.

From what I've read,the organisers have done a first rate job of keeping costs as low as possible. (eg none of the speakers are being paid)

I definitely wasn't complaining about the cost! Just pointing out that it was unlikely to be a stubbies-and-jandals affair :P

[Chrys Stevenson]

I think if people simply dress as they would to go out to a nice restaurant for dinner that will be sufficient.

For others, they may wish to wear a suit or a nice evening-style cocktail dress or top (I'm not talking ball-gown here) and that would also be just fine.

As Jams said, probably best to steer away from stubbies and thongs.

[Praxis]

OK.. a nice evening-style cocktail dress it is then :)
Wouldn't miss that for the world.

And Pro, for goodness sake, organize a visit to the hairdresser on the afternoon prior. A wash, set and blow dry [yes, blowDRY] will do wonders for you, m'dear.

I don't have a suit .. will have to scrounge something up, think I have a shirt somewhere ..

[two dogs]

I don't have a suit ..

Nor do I (and have managed without one for 57 years).

The convention web site states (emphasis mine):Saturday Night Dinner Pass provides an opportunity for you to meet other convention attendees in a casual setting.
So, I'll be wearing something casual, but neat, which to me doesn't preclude jeans and my God Delusion T-shirt (http://store.richarddawkins.net/products/the-god-delusion-t-shirt). :)

[ponde]

I thought a Dawkins foundation T-Shirt or other atheist T-Shirt would have been compulsory.

Judging by the posts on this thread it seems nobody is going to be wearing any underwear.

That's only wishful thinking on your part.

Or is it. dun...dun...dunh...

Indeed, compared to her right hand, the weight of the ring on her left hand seems to be somewhat fatiguing.
