This often includes floor length gowns, elegant midi dresses, or refined cocktail dresses crafted from premium fabrics such as satin, lace, chiffon, mesh, or tulle. Formal dresses may feature statement details like corset bodices, strapless necklines, one shoulder silhouettes, open backs, or subtle cut out accents. The overall goal is a look that feels sophisticated, occasion ready, and confidently styled.</span></p> <h3>How do I style a formal dress?</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Styling a formal dress depends on the level of detail in the design. If your dress features bold colours, sequins, shimmer, or intricate detailing, keep your accessories minimal with classic stud earrings, delicate bracelets, and a sleek clutch. For simpler silhouettes such as a satin maxi dress or a minimalist midi style, elevate the look with drop earrings, layered necklaces, or a statement ring.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For romantic formal dresses featuring florals, ruffles, chiffon, or lace, opt for dainty <a href="https://www.hellomolly.co.uk/collections/jewellery">jewellery</a>, soft glowing makeup, and loose waves or an elegant half up hairstyle. Complete your outfit with heels that complement the length of your dress and a clutch that coordinates in both colour and texture. The key is balance, allowing your formal dress to remain the focal point while your accessories enhance the overall look.</span></p>
