REAL Blond asked:
I need a cocktail dress in a solid red or white. I went to Macy’s to find one and I had no clue what I should have been looking for. What do cocktail dresses actually look like? Are they like casual/semi-formal sun dresses or formal dresses with a different look? Can it be long? I look better in longer dresses (Chicken legs)…

Yes, they can be long. Generally they are a bit more casual than formal dresses, but they can still be very long and slinky and ****.

cocktail dresses are generally short, i.e. knee length. formal wear =gowns i.e. full length
thats the TRADITIONAL definition. all short of old fasion rules are broken these days though.

Cocktail dresses can be short and **** but still classey. Formal dresses cover up more and are elegant. Macy’s should be a good place to find one. I love dressing up. Have fun.

cocktail dresses are usually knee length or above, formal but nothing you would wear to prom or anything like that.

Usually a formal dress is longer and not as revealing. Typically, cocktail dresses are shorter and more ****.

They are dressy and usually shorter than a formal dress. You can still find something at calf length and it be semi formal. Ask the salesperson for a little help, that’s what they are there for. Hope this helps.

Cocktail dresses are typically dressy to semi-formal, and shorter in length. You can go for a long dress if you have “chicken legs” (hahaha), but make sure it’s really simple and elegant, no sequins or heavy embroidery (which is overdone anyway). Sun dresses are NOT cocktail dresses, unless you’re going to a barbeque below the Mason-Dixon line. Good thing you’re not.
Neiman Marcus’ website has their evening dresses categorized very well, and so does Bergdorf-Goodman. Whether or not you can afford it, you can always go look at their websites and check out what they consider cocktail dresses and compare them to what you found at Macy*s (who also has a fabulous dress selection). Good luck shopping!!
