Cocktail Dresses
The RSVP says cocktail, but your dress can say a little more. Go modern and on-trend with semi-formal dresses in mini, midi, or sheath silhouettes, then let the details do the talking: cowl necklines, corset bodices, off-the-shoulder cuts, plunging V-necklines, strapless shapes, and sheer long mesh sleeves. Stretch satin and silky woven satin slip dresses bring the polish, while lace, crepe, mesh, and velvet burn out florals add dimension. Choose black, burgundy, dark plum, hunter green, navy, red, or winter white for birthday soirees, sorority formals, and guest of wedding moments.
