A dress is a piece of clothes especially for women. Dresses consist of a skirt and a top. A dress is one piece which covers the upper part of the body and a woman's legs. When it comes to the length of elegant evening dresses, it can vary between mini and maxi. A dress becomes even more attractive with fitting shoes such as high heels or sandals. No matter which colour a dress has or of which fabric it is made, it usually highlights the female body shape. Or, it impresses due to its colour, choice of used fabrics or style – the design and optics of evening dresses for women have changed throughout the last centuries.

 

There have been several sorts of dresses for the evening throughout the last centuries. From the middle of the 19th century until the 1930s, there existed gown dresses such as evening party dresses or formal dresses such as ball dresses. Even in leisure time when active in sporting or travelling, special dresses for horse riding were manufactured.

 

Today, women do no longer see the wearing of dresses as a social MUST. Remarkable social changes have made dresses for women dispensable. Women often favour pants and modern business suits – instead of skirts and dresses as their importance as a traditional piece of female wardrobe has decreased throughout the last decades. However, various kinds of dresses are still in use today, such as wedding dresses, casual dresses for leisure and hiking, maternity dresses or cocktail dresses.

 

However, dresses, such as the – since the 1950s and 1960s traditional – black dress for the evening or more formal dresses such as bride dresses or prom dresses have resisted the trend towards pants. Not only black dresses, but also designer dresses and robes are worn by celebrities such as movie stars, actors, models or musicians at big galas, theatre and movie opening nights or award ceremonies. The topics on the red carpet: Who is who, who is here with whom and whose dress is most outstanding, sexy and spectacular?
