3 Best Features in a Semi Formal Dress

Semi formal dressesare the core of every woman's party wardrobe. Whether it's a dance, sorority or fraternity social, cocktail party, dance, sweet sixteen or school or work event, you can pull out a short dress for all kinds of occasions. Style it right, and you're set to succeed anywhere! Here's three things to consider when you're purchasing a semi formal dress:

1) Be ready to move! Unlike long formal dresses, when one might be sitting on a throne :) or greeting a reception line, semi formal dresses should be ready to jump into the cab or limo, move on the dance floor, and keep going for hours.
