Step 1
Choose a dress length.
Semi formal dresses can be short or floor length- it's up to you. Choose the formal dress length and fit that best flatters your body; there is no "wrong" cut or length. -
Step 2
Find a comfortable pair of heels.
A formal ball dress goes best with heels, but it's important to make sure that you can walk comfortably in them, or it could be a long night! -
Step 3
Get your hair and nails done.
It's a good idea to plan ahead and choose a formal updo or hairstyle before the big night. Both nails and hair can be done at home to save money, but sometimes it's fun to pamper yourself before a semi formal! -
Step 4
Wear accessories that compliment your formal dress.
Choose accessories that either match or directly compliment your formal dress style. Make sure that your purse also matches! -
Step 5
Take a dress jacket in case the temperature drops.
Formal dresses can leave you a bit chilly if the event runs late into the evening. Bring a dress jacket so that you don't get cold.
