Long Formal Black Dresses
From LoveToKnow Teens
Long formal black dresses can be worn at just about any formal occasion, with the exception of a daytime wedding. These styles will flatter any woman, no matter what her size. Which dress will you choose?
Hollywood Vamp
Old Hollywood glamour is alive and well. To achieve this elegant look a slim fitting long black dress fits the bill. Accessories really make this look. Glamorous extras include long black opera gloves, pearls, socialite bracelets, the perfect little evening bag and a stole to keep you warm. Don’t forget to choose just the right pair of shoes or sandals, in black of course!
The Sweetheart
Not really the vampy type? The sweetheart look is perfect for a young woman at a formal event. With this guise you want to choose dresses that have a few layers, bows at the bust line or have a moderate backless style (no décolletage, please!). Modest accessories accentuate the look: small dangle earrings or posts, tasteful necklaces and bracelets or perhaps a diminutive tiara. Choose a pair of shoes that are black, silver or gold, but leave the stilettos at home.
The Flirt
Every girl feels flirty, at least some of the time. Long formal black dresses don’t have to be dull if you know how to accentuate the positive. Dresses for the slightly more adventurous girl include the slit leg style, varied length dresses, one-strap and strapless styles. The dresses that are long in the back but short in the front give girls with great gams a way to show them off without appearing too informal. Show off beautiful shoulders with a one-strap dress. Pair these attention-getting gowns with high heels to show your legs off to their best advantage.
