Formal dresses are used for various formal events such as wedding, debut, formal dinner party, formal garden party, formal prom or dance and other formal occasions as specified by the dress code in events. For some, formal dresses are the most difficult to choose because as much as you would want to wear the style that you want, some dress styles are not fitted for formal events. Also, a formal dress may be more cumbersome to wear than a casual dress because it entails proper posture, poise and walking.
