Long formal dresses

Event dressing is just like any other, the golden rule is: keep your clothing appropriate. This rule is just as important for more informal office dos as for formal events.  The key word is 'appropriate' rather than 'inappropriate.'

As you can see strapless styles are one of the prettiest of the current looks.  With advance planning, you can look as elegant as Ziya Zhang did in this image courtesy of © HFPA and 63rd Golden Globe Awards®.

Certainly for any black tie affair, a full evening dress is the best option unless the invitation hints that women may wear a cocktail dress.  A special event needs a more special gown.  This page is dedicated to showing you some formal gown examples.  See the how to shop tips on the next page for preparing to buy an appropriate dress for office dos.
