What is a dinner dress called?
1 Answer

What a dinner dress is called varies. When most people hear "dinner dress," they envision a formal, full-length piece. Dresses of this length and style are referred to as evening dresses or evening gowns. However, sometimes, a semiformal dress that falls between the knee and the ankle is also worn for dinner. This type of dress is a cocktail dress. Find a large selection of dresses on 1stDibs.
