What to Consider when Choosing a Fall Formal Dress & Gown?

When considering what formal gown and dress is right for you - you first want to think about the event you are attending. Is there a dress code? You might be limited to a particular color or style, like a black dress. Will you be outside or inside? If the event is outside, you will want to consider a long sleeve fancy dress to keep you warm in the colder months or a strapless or open-back classy formal dress for a wedding event and to keep you cool on the warm summer nights. If you're attending a wedding - you want to know the color of the bridesmaid dresses, so you don't match! 

Most formal events call for formal long dresses (often referred to as a maxi dress), but there are some occasions where a short fancy party dress is appropriate. We also have high-low classy dresses that combine the short look in the front with a side slit and a long flowing dress in the back. 

Next, you will want to consider the style, and there is a lot to choose from! We offer long sleeve, sleeveless, short sleeve gowns, strapless, and open-back women’s formal dresses. You can also consider choosing a jumpsuit, ruched, corset, pleated, or something else that better suits your style. Now, you will want to consider the neckline. There are various neckline styles to choose from, such as halter, a-line, cowl neck, square neck, v-neck, scoop, sweetheart, and more! 

Lastly, it's time to choose your fabric and color! You can choose a classic style with a lace elegant formal evening gown, or you can choose to stand out with beaded embellishments, chiffon, or sequins! When choosing colors, you can go with a solid color in classy formal dresses like red, blue, gold, black or burgundy dresses, or you can choose something more adventurous like pastels or floral print!
