How to shop for the perfect formal dress

Lots of you have been sending us emails asking us how to choose a dress for formal occasions, such as weddings, christenings, proms, or cocktail parties. Since we love all formal occasions we jumped at the chance to answer your questions and help you with your shopping. So, let’s start!

When choosing such a dress, you have to keep in mind, the cost per use, and the style. You want to pick a style that is going to be timeless, and won’t look outdated in a few years from now. So even if it’s a bit expensive, the cost per use will be small. We wouldn’t suggest a dress which is too formal, and can only be worn once, because then, the cost per use would be huge. Look for dresses that are possibly midi and minimal, without too many embellishments. Keep the dress simple, and play with the accessories. You can make 100 looks with the same dress only by changing your accessories you wear it with, but if your dress is too “busy” that would be difficult.

To show you some examples, we picked some dresses from one of our favorite online shops, Sherry London. Sherry London has all kinds of dresses for you: for the prom, cocktail & party, homecoming, and even bridesmaid dresses, and evening dresses. They have a wide price range, but most of their dresses are very budget-friendly, and we’re sure you’re gonna find one you love there. You’ll find simple yet stunning dresses but also embellished and outstanding ones there. Their color range is also worth to be mentioned, and as you can see the styles are amazing. Are you ready to pick out your formal occasion dress today? Keep our tips in mind and go take a look! Happy shopping!
