Style tips
Cocktail dresses are above-the-knee, like little sisters to evening gowns, with all the glamour and less of the formality. Go shorter if you have a long and willowy body. Go flirtier with A-line skirts if you have a curvier silhouette. You have so many choices and you will have as many opportunities to indulge in the deliciousness of cocktail dresses, from your school dance and your first dressy date to your job parties and the cocktail luaus of your contemporaries. It all depends on the event. Long and three-quarter sleeves can make an otherwise sexy sheath very demure for a corporate event.
