So im looking for the diamond weave shirt & selftie bowtie (same make et all) as well as some simple white braces, possibly diamoond weave to?

Over calf black silk socks, sized ...

As I dont like pattent leather I am thinking spitle for a pair of my planicaps.

A nice pocket watch would be good to, if not I might do a fau pax and wear a rose rold vintage chrono on autruche strap

Good sources?

Or other options?

I might get a new pair of shoes... AE parkAv, JL city not sure yet.
But allready have 2 different pair of plaincaps.

Thanks
Speed

Don't wear captoes, which are work shoes, with evening dress!

For a similar occasion, my research led me to the following sources:

White pique shirt MTM at a Dutch store
White pique self-tie bow tie: MTM at a Dutch store
White pique waistcoat: Bosweel RTW through a Dutch dealer
Black silk socks: Pantherella
Black patent opera pumps: Bowhill & Elliott
White moiré braces: Albert Thurston
Cufflinks: Japanese mother of pearl
White studs for pique shirt and waistcoat: Sterling silver and mother of pearl

Also, quite a lot of groundwork is covered in the following thread on the Lounge: Link

Hope this is of use to you,
