Dressing For The Occasion – Looking For The Perfect Evening Dress

This elegant and perfect cocktail finding dress has been brought to you by Dress First …

One of my favorite things is going to plays. I love watching live performances. I also like dressing up. Heck, I’ll find any excuse I can to don a little black dress.

I have a problem, though. It’s a good problem, but a problem nonetheless. Since I’ve lost weight, I don’t have a “LBD” (little black dress) that fits. I’ve been looking for the perfect evening dress that will be elegant and formal, without being too over the top.  I want to be able to wear it to a play, but also something appropriate for a wedding, or maybe even a night out on the town.

I’ve looked several places in brick and mortar stores in my area and online. And searched some more.

I found it! Okay, I found a LOT of beautiful evening/cocktail/little black dresses. As much as I’d love to get everyone one of them, I must choose just one.

I’ve narrowed it down to these two dresses:

Sheath Cowl Neck Short Chiffon Cocktail Dress from DressFirst

It’s gorgeous, I know. This Sheath Cowl Neck Short/Mini Chiffon Cocktail Dress with Beading reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. I think I would feel like a princess wearing it.

A-Line Princess On-Shoulder Short Chiffon Cocktail Dress from DressFirst

I love this one-shoulder style. The A-Line/Princess One-Shoulder Short/Mini Chiffon Cocktail Dress is a great dress for any body shape, I think. It really would flatter any figure. It’s sexy and flirty, yet you’re still covered up.

As you can see, both of my choices are very different. Welcome to my world. My fashion tastes (like everything else) are eclectic. I do love both of these looks and styles.

I was impressed at the huge selection of evening/little black dresses, not to mention, prom, wedding, homecoming, and many more special occasion dresses, they have to choose from… it’s dress heaven. Really.

The prices at Dress First are so reasonable, that I just might have to get both of them.

Okay, I could use your help, though, which dress would you buy?
