How to Buy the Perfect Cocktail Dress

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Alex from The Perfect Dress, and I'm going to show you how to find that perfect cocktail dress. Now people always ask me 'What is a cocktail dress?' Well, it's something that's a little flirty and a little sassy. So this dress that Abby's wearing right now, you can see it can be that little black dress, where it's just above the knee. Normally, cocktail dresses want to be a little bit shorter. But, this one here is going to draw a little bit of attention, because it does have that three-dimensional rosettes going all the way down. This is a gorgeous style with that deep V neck. Now if you ever get a cocktail dress with that deep V, don't worry about filling it with a necklace. You don't have to. What's really big right now, get some awesome chandelier earrings. Something big to really draw some attention. And again, of course, with the short dress, you want it to be an inch to about two inches above the knee. This, right here, is a stretch fabric, so it's going to be very forgiving to all body types. So when you're sitting at dinner, you don't feel like you have to be pulling and tugging on yourself. And that is how to find the perfect cocktail dress."
