Women always find a way to dress for an occasion. So, when one
refers to women’s formal wear they are talking about long dresses, which
touch the ground. The rule is if a dress touches the ground – it is labeled
‘formal’. And, yes – formal automatically means gowns. They are long and
flowing, frilly, lacy, fluffy… and shiny!
At an Indian formal occasion, which is often referred to as a black tie or
white tie affair, it is appropriate for women to wear long gowns or dressy
evening separates or even cocktail dresses.
The ideal fabric for women’s formal wear would be silk, satin, velvet or
crepe. When one is undecided about an appropriate color – black is always a
safe choice, as it looks dressy and smart. Red is another color of choice –
however some women shy away from choosing it.
Women’s formal wear would include long, flowing gowns in either silver lame,
or gold crepe. They could be off the shoulder, will power or halter gowns,
which flow straight down to the feet.
Lace is also a fabric of choice for women’s formal wear. It could go as a
full gown or a dressy separate with a smart satin skirt. Sequined gowns have
also found favor as women’s formal way. A sequined blouse along with a
satin skirt also makes the wearer look elegant.
Nowadays, dress suits are making it into the league of women’s formal wear.
All in all, it depends on the confidence of person who’s wearing the outfit
to carry it with panache.
