Just A Formality - Bridal Gowns & Formal Wear

Spectacular Long White Gown Perfect for Evenings, Pageants, or Proms

I don’t feature a lot of long white formal dresses because many of them end up looking more like wedding gowns than evening gowns.  Not so with this long white dress which is the ultimate in luxury and sophistication.

This dress features diagonal pleating, a rhinestone embellishment at the bust, and a semi-transparent chiffon skirt.  If you have lighter skin, this dress […]

Greek Inspired, Short, Formal Dress Fit for a Goddess

The Audrina dress pictured below features draping reminiscent of ancient statues of greek goddesses, a style that’s very *in* right now.  What I especially like about this dress is that it has the fittied piece beneath the draping.

Available in other colors, as well; get it at Lauren Conrad which ships worldwide.

It’s Posh, It’s Pink, It’s the Perfect Formal Dress

Flatteringly fitted yet full and feminine, this dress is perfect for when you want the best of both worlds.

I like the pink gloves with it, too.  This dress is called Satin Doll, and the bodice is bejeweled.

Sexy Dress Combines the Best of a Long Evening Gown and a Short Cocktail Dress

Short in the front and long in the back, this halter dress by La Femme shows off your legs while giving you the elegance of a longer gown.  I love the multiple satin bands around the middle which end in the bow.

It’s available in gold and a variety of other colors (including white, which isn’t shown).

Look Amazing in this Unique Evening Gown

Unique and elegant are good words to describe this formal dress, from the way the seams are sewn and fitted to the strappy bodice to the beautifully low-cut back.  You can get it in red, white, or gold.

Trains seem to be a red carpet favorite recently, and I can see why.  They add an extra touch of elegance […]

I think this dress would look especially striking on someone with an olive complexion.
Let’s be friends.

The piece has that greco-roman look that’s popular right now but […]

Another Great Betsey Johnson Dress

Okay, I know I just did a post about Betsey Johnson designer dresses not too long ago, and I wasn’t planning on doing another one so soon, but I saw this dress, and it was just too cute not to feature.

I love the details around the hem, and there’s a hidden wire lining that helps […]

Winnie Couture: Fashion At Its Most Feminine

Normally I concentrate on clothes available online.  Even though I couldn’t find these Winnie Couture dresses for sale online, I decided to feature them anyway because 1) they’re cute, 2) the photo presentation is exceptional, and 3) Winnie Couture has stores worldwide, so hopefully, if you find a dress you really like, you can find a shop near your area.
