Dresses come in an incredible variety of lengths, ranging from the shortest mini dress to the floor-length evening gown. Choosing the right length for you depends on a number of factors, from personal taste to the type of event you’ll be attending. Your body type also makes a difference, as well as what you want to accentuate with your dress.
A floor-length evening dress is always the right choice for any fancy event you attend. From a wedding to a charity dinner, floor-length dresses are sophisticated, glamorous, and sexy without being revealing. Some maxi dresses may include sexy slits or other features that make them more suitable for a less formal occasion and will allow them to fit in at any night venue, from a ballroom to a dance club. Maxi dresses are a great option for women of almost any body type.
Knee-length dresses are generally known as cocktail-length dresses, which can also feature slightly lower or slightly higher hemlines. This length allows you to show some leg while still being a very acceptable hem for the office, dinner, or family gathering like a wedding or party. Depending on the cut of the dress, this length can be very sexy or more modest. This type of length also works well for most body types, although on shorter women it can tend to cut into the leg, with the result that the wearer appears even shorter. It can also be difficult to find knee-length dresses for women who are short, as they can fall more than they should.
A hemline that falls between the knee and mid-thigh is a great choice for a woman who loves to show off her legs but isn’t comfortable in a mini dress. This length is great for shorter women, but taller women also have no problem taking it off. It’s a good option if you prefer to keep the top hidden.
The minidress is for good reason the sexiest dress a woman can buy. This is a hem that falls somewhere on the upper thigh and includes what is known as a micro-mini – the shortest possible hem without showing more than decent! Mini dresses are great for making your legs look as long as possible, but they aren’t very forgiving. Long, toned legs look best in this type of dress. The good thing about a cropped hem is that by showing the full length of your legs, it will help you look taller. Mini dresses are generally better for clubbing and other occasions where sexy dresses won’t be out of place.
Regardless of the length you choose for your dress, be sure to choose a style that suits your body type and personality, and add shoes, accessories, and other accents to personalize the look and make it your own. You can find dresses of all lengths, as well as the shoes to make them even sexier.
