Formal dresses are usually seen as something long, but even short ones can be used during formal events. Several short formal dresses are very pretty and very light and can help you move around easily during formal parties.

If you are looking for short formal dress ideas, here are some of the lovely designs I personally love:

Black Lace dress

Black dresses can be used perfectly for formal parties. To look very prim, this sleeved V-neck dress is just lovely. It is short, but it is not revealing for those formal events.

If you desire tube formal short dresses, this baby blue shirt dress is also very lovely. The A-line skirt and the twisted design on the chest matches formal occasions very well. 

A tube dress can turn a little formal with an overlying chiffon fabric or tulle. This tube dress is line with a tulle fabric with lovely sleeveless accent.

For office parties that need you to look formal, this metallic green dress is also a good choice. It is actually a two piece dress with simple skirt and a pretty brooch for that formal feel. 

Another black dress that is very formal is this tube dress with a nice topper attached. The design of the dress is simply formal with the silver specs adding glamour and dazzle. 

One of my personal favorite is this bright blue dress with embellished rhinestones. The cut is just gorgeous during formal occasions, yet the slit is also very appealing. Use this with equally lovely accessories to complete the look. 

This red dress is another excellent formal dress idea. Formal cocktail dresses are very popular and this red dress is simply glamorous.  The crippled design on the fabric and the lovely flower accents add beauty to the simple cut of the dress.  This green one shoulder dress is a symbol of grace, elegance and glamour in short formal dresses. Match it with a sexy footwear and you are ready to hit the formal party in a chic look.

Formal dresses can be very simple with this simple pink dress. Wear the dress with just your beauty and you are ready for a simple formal look.

Lastly, this white one shoulder dress with silver studs is also very sexy and formal at the same time. Get one of this and you are ready to look like a modern day Aphrodite. During formal events, you don’t need to wear long dresses or gowns. Just choose short formal dresses for that more elegant and chic style.
