For example, is this dress considered a cocktail dress? Why?

Length mid calf or a bit higher/lower, posh fabrics, semi-formal style.[EMPTY] - Donna in FL September 27, 2025, 8:17 pm
In my book it is a 'party dress'. Too 'dressy' to wear to church or to shop>> - Flamingomoon September 27, 2025, 3:26 pm
No, that example is lovely but it's day wear, not cocktail. - Jackie_NJ September 27, 2025, 10:05 am
I think most of the cocktail parties in 50s movies showed women in - Lee September 27, 2025, 10:04 am
I look at it as slightly less formal than, well, a formal evening gown - Ohiostar September 27, 2025, 9:15 am
Lovely ddress, but too casual for cocktail wear. - April in VA September 27, 2025, 9:06 am
BTW: I didn't take the photo of Violet, but I seem to remember it was Helen Hall.[EMPTY] - Bryan September 26, 2025, 10:46 pm
