Semi Formal Dresses

Semi formal dresses are sometimes referred to as "cocktail dresses" and worn for various occasions, such as weddings and parties before the "dinner hour" (generally 6-7 pm, depending on local conventions), and for certain types of school dances. Historically, if a party began before 4 pm, a "day dress" was worn, and if after 6pm, a formal dress. Semi-formal dresses would be worn if the party began between those times. Now, these dresses are generally only worn if the invitation specifies semi formal attire. They are generally caracterized by shorter length than formal dresses.
