How to choose
When choosing a white cocktail dress, the principle should be the same as when choosing any spectacular outfit. The variety of styles allows each girl to find a silhouette, emphasizing her dignity.

The most daring decisions, such as guipure dresses or outfits with an open back, are meant for young ladies. The more mature a lady chooses a white cocktail dress, the more strict her lines should be.
For full figures it is preferable to dress in the form of a case with contrasting elements in the decoration. If you have narrow hips, the dress on the straps will help make the bottom of the figure visually more voluminous. A fluffy or flared skirt will enhance this impression.
