These lovely dresses are mostly chosen for formal occasions. With their elegant styling and cut floor length dresses translate into high fashion statements. These long dresses are generally worn just below the ankle and sometimes come with lovely little trains at the back for added sophistication and attraction. The dress style can be worn with any body type, but there are certain considerations in terms of height. Slinky long body forming dresses looks extra sassy and sultry on slim tall body shapes. However, if you are little on the chubby side you can still select dresses that match your body shape, and you can always add an inch or two of your structure with a pair of high heels.

Tea length dresses

This style was made popular by the New York fashion scene but they originated from Europe and were then called as tea gowns. Tea length dresses were first meant for wearing at evening semi-formal functions like tea parties. During the recession in America women opted for shorter hemlines that ended in the region of mid-calf and they were much similar to the tea gowns created in Europe. These days any dress that falls anywhere between the knee and over the ankle are called tea length dresses and are mostly worn by older women. These dresses are less fancy than elaborate ball gowns however they can project a much more festive outlook than the mini dress. They are ideal formal wear and provide a perfect ladylike look with a touch of sassy glitz.

Knee length dresses
