Cocktail attire leaves room for a full skirt, a fitted midi or something with a little shine. I would choose one detail to lead the outfit, then keep the rest simple. These 15 dresses include lace, satin and velvet, with shorter party shapes and longer midis for different invitations, venues and seasons. Check the dress code before choosing the most dramatic option.
