In a woman’s lifetime she gets very few events to wear a cocktail dress. And cocktail dresses are so much fun to wear; it almost makes you want to create events at which to wear them. There are, in fact, many occasions to wear short cocktail dresses. There’s the usual suspects of course; prom, homecoming, school dances, all of which are perfect for short formal dress styles. There are also office functions, New Years Eve parties, Christmas parties and weddings. All of these occasions are super exciting to attend because, let’s face it, it’s ridiculously fun to get dressed up. Perhaps if one had to do it all the time it would get old, however, judging by the Hollywood starlets it doesn’t seem boring the more you get to do wear them. And since most of the world hangs on the fashion of the stars, I'd say we all want to be wearing fancy women's dresses more often.
Picking out a short cocktail dress isn't much different than picking out other short dresses. You can read the different rules about any questions regarding picking out one in my other article. Once you know how to choose a dress to suit your style, it's just a matter of sifting through the different colors and designs. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of them available; especially now that the Internet is so prolific. If you want a style of dress, it's a simple matter of
just doing a search online. In fact, you can even get celebrity look-alike dresses at really cut-rate prices. Any dress you see on the red carpet has a clone, or at least similar style, online. And any dress you can dream up or imagine can be found, or created, as well. The Internet has opened up the floodgates of opportunity in clothing. Take advantage of the multitude of shops that cater to specific events. My personal favorites are Up To 90% Off Designer Dresses at eDressMe.com and Amazon.com, but Lightinthebox.com is fast becoming a favorite of mine.
Deciding how much to spend on a dress worn for one occasion is pretty difficult, but knowing the dress can be worn several times might ease the burden a bit. An elegant, black, short cocktail dress will be the perfect addition to any woman's wardrobe. It's the type of dress than can be accessorized differently to create a new look. Although when an occasion is really special, shelling out a few hundred dollars shouldn't make anyone feel bad. The fact is that cocktail dresses come in a variety of prices as well as styles, so if you're able to spend a few hundred, or more, on a dress then do so, but if you're short on cash there are plenty of really beautiful options for $150 or less. I've put a mix of prices on the page here and I will be creating articles just for price ranges and colors of different short cocktail dresses.
The different styles of party dresses are evident at just about every red carpet event in Hollywood. There are beaded, taffeta, silk, chiffon, flare skirt, bubble skirt, sheath, halter and about a hundred other styles of short cocktail dress. The different styles are important because each can be more or less formal. A fully beaded dress, even short, can be worn to some formal occasions. Chiffon and taffeta dresses are equally formal, but a silk and satin dress can be semi-formal or formal, depending on the dress itself, and how it is accessorized. The way to accessorize any short cocktail dresses is with a pair of high heel, sexy strappy, satin, sandals or patent leather and matching evening purse. For jewelry a mixture of hair accessories are beautiful and simple pearls, rhinestones or a lovely pair of lace pantyhose.
