Black Tie for block dresses

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 12, 2012 -- A block dresses tie affair is the most formal social gathering. Men are expected to wear tuxedos, while women can choose between cocktail dresses, formal gowns or long dresses. There are also white tie affairs, which are just as formal. The only difference is that the men wear white bowties instead of black ones.
Creative Black Tie
A creative black tie invite gives guests the option of dressing down a bit. Men can wear black suits instead of tuxedos and women can wear shorter dresses or evening separates.
Semi-Formal

As the name implies, guests are not expected dress up for semi-formal affairs. Dinner or cocktail parties with close friends and acquaintances are generally semi-formal. Men should wear dark suits and women can wear cocktail or party block dresses. Professional women sometimes wear dressy suits to semi-formal events.
Business Formal
The dress code for business formal is the same as semi-formal for the guys, but the girls are expected to dress in tailored suits or long block dresses.
Cocktail Attire
The standard cocktail party doesn't have a well-defined dress code. The guys usually dress in dark suits and the women wear party block dresses.
Informal

When an invitation calls for a casual dress code, it often means that men should wear a coat and tie and women should wear shorter block dresses. More often than not, casual affairs are held during the warmer months when gowns or formalwear would be terribly uncomfortable.
Because the dress code for the girls is more complicated, it requires further examination. One of the most confusing things about eveningwear for women is the rather broad definitions. Everyone knows, for example, what a tuxedo is. But what about a cocktail dress, an evening gown or a party dress?

Once again, these block dresses are defined by the formality of the event. The most formal block dresses is the evening gown. The difference between the gown and the other two is that it is longer and that it is often made of heavier, more luxurious and expensive fabrics. An evening gown is generally made of satin, silk, velvet or chiffon. Its hemline can range from tea length and ballerina to full-length gowns. Evening gowns are far more accessible than ball gowns, since they are available in any silhouette, including A-line, trumpet, sheath, empire and mermaid. They may have halters, straps or sleeves. Evening gowns are worn at black tie and white tie events, while ball gowns are obviously only worn to balls.
