Tea Length Bridal & Formal Dresses

Fun and modest tea-length cocktail dress

A more fun reason to wear a tea-length dress than for a formal daytime occasion is to wear it to a semi-formal occasion, like a cocktail party. Traditionally, cocktail parties occurred in the late afternoon or early evening. But now, the term “cocktail dress” is used to describe a dress for any fun type of party. Tea-length cocktail and homecoming dresses are great because they tend to be more modest dresses than some other party dresses, yet they allow you to dress them up and have fun with the fit and flare style.

Tea-length prom dress

What makes a dress formal isn’t necessarily its length, although most formal dresses are long. Rather, it is the type of material it is made of and what style category it falls into. It might be billowy and made of satin, like a ball gown. In regard to formal tea-length dresses, they typically look more formal when made of lace or a shiny type of fabric. There might also be a slit in the front, or it might be shorter in the front and longer in the back, reaching down to a couple of inches above the ankle. Nonetheless, know that you can easily find a formal tea-length dress just like you can find a prom dress.
