In the mid-20th Century, some '' Couturier s'' began describing full-skirted cocktail gowns as 'dancing costumes'. These are suitable for formal dances but not for Ball s, or other White Tie affairs, where Ball Gown s must be worn. The length of cocktail dresses varies depending on fashion and local custom; it ranges from just above the knee to ''tea length'' (about two inches above the ankle) and sometimes ''ballerina length'' (touching the ankle), although ballerina length dresses usually fall into the ''evening gown'' category. A wide variety of materials, styles and accessories are acceptable; Silk , Satin and Chiffon are always popular choices. |
