More Info About Formal Evening Dresses

Formal evening gowns are generally full length. If you would like a less traditional hemline, look for dresses that are hi-low, where the front hem is shorter than the hemline on the back of the dress. Think of trains on dresses to add some drama. Another option is to choose a dress with a traditional floor-length hem that has a sexy high side slit to add a little flair. When shopping, keep in mind that a floor-length hemline distinguishes formal evening gowns from cocktail dresses or club dresses.Likewise, carefully consider the fabric and cut of your evening dress. An A-line dress flatters every figure, but other dress shapes and cuts will allow you to accentuate your best features. Hourglass-shaped evening dresses draw attention to a perfect figure and, paired with a mermaid-style skirt, can create a stunning ensemble.
