Plus Size Cocktail Dresses

Plus Size Cocktail Dresses are available year round online in a nice selection of both Black Cocktail Dresses and in seasonal colors.

The term cocktail dresses was first used by Christian Dior in the 1940s. Today a Cocktail Dress is considered to be a semi-formal to formal dress that is not floor length. A floor length semi-formal or formal dress would be called an evening gown. It can be anything from a mini-dress to ankle length. Usually one that is ankle length is called Ballerina Length and a few inches above the ankle is called tea-length.
