OK, in the UNLIKELY event that i make it through to the evening performance, i need some advice! Am i right in thinking, for Arabs, that correct waear would be cream stock, topper (colour?) and navy jacket? I have the stock but not the others, and budget is limited to the extent that it is non-existent! I *think* you can hire toppers for the night, but what about jackets? Or does anyone have a tiny navy jacket i could borrow/hire for the night? Any other advice/things i would need to know? Can't believe its so close ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png)

I'm having the same dilemma Kath! I figured I will need a navy jacket at some point *hopefully* so I got one from ebay last week - £70 for a wool one and it's rather nice. I need to get the sleeves altered but that's about it. I've bought a stock, shirt and stock pin so hopefully all I would need to hire is the hat.
My jacket would drown you though!

The same as what Kath has outlined for the Arabs. Navy wool jacket, top hat, and stock. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I would think black boots would be nicer than brown too.

Your Topper should match your jacket....navy with navy etc. And generally ladies ONLY wear 1/2 tile, the taller ones are for dressage, and men ;D Think Understated elegance, only wear the placing rosettes in championships , never finalists/qualifier ones gloves and show cane are a must ... and if you are into it... glitter is acceptable in an evening perf. Hope you all get there ;D

mmm I thought it would be a navy hat with navy jacket but if black is ok then I may manage to borrow one but it would be a dressage style - would that be ok? - might manage to get a shot of the tail coat to go with it but that would be a bit OTT!!

I think you would be fine with a dressage topper if you can borrow, there were a few at H.O.Y.S wore them last year. All of the toppers i have seen worn have been black ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) . deano.

it would be tempting fate if I was to borrow it - my theroy is go unprepared and then panic if I get through - if I take this one I will not get through - will see if i can get it and that it fits!!
