Halter Dress
The halter dress is quite a favorite with the glitterati. It is one of the most desired formal dresses and celebrities love wearing it, for it is considered the sexiest among all women’s formal dresses. Designers try out a number of variations, popular among which are the knot-front halter, spaghetti strap halters, and the tie-behind-the-neck variety.

Cocktail Dress
It is a sexy outfit and quite versatile as well. Although black is the preferred color, you can wear those bright colors, jewel tones among other shades. Most accessories like diamonds, pearls, rubies, and jades go nicely with the cocktail dress.

Jacket Dress
The jacket dress is just right for the well-covered look. The jacket is a practical piece of apparel when you want to keep your hands free from adjusting or working your wrap. The short bolero jackets suit long gowns, while dusters are just fine with dressy pants.

Corset Dress
If your figure needs the right kind of curves, try the corset dress. It lifts the breasts to a fuller shape and trims the waist presenting an hourglass figure. You may opt for a built-in corset or go for a separate corset top.

Off-the-Shoulder Dress
If you are slim and would like to show off your upper body, the off-the-shoulder dress may be just right for you. Shoulders are one of the most attractive features of a woman’s anatomy. Designers, especially Donna Karan, have been exposing the woman’s shoulders to draw attention to the upper part of the torso. It is just right for women averse to exposing their cleavage or back.

Stand-up Collar Dress
If you have a pretty face and would like to draw attention to it in no small measure, it is time you bought the stand-up collar dress. The high collar frames your face and a plunging neckline accentuates the length of the torso. It gives the wearer a slim and sexy look.
