Semi-Formal
Party Attire
By Marcia Fischer
Staff Writer
With the round of Christmas
patties that are coming up it is
necessary for the party-going
co-ed to have in her wardrobe a
suitable cocktail dress for the af
fair that is neither formal nor yet
suitable for just an afternoon
dress.
The major difference in a cock
tail dress and a formal is that the
formal is usually a net covered
long dress, which is meant to be
worn to dances with a large or
chestra. The cocktail dress is that
in-between dress that is seen at
anytime from five to ten o'clock.
The cocktail dress originated in
the penthouses of New York in
the cocktail set. Though too infor
mal for it to be necessary to wear
an evening dress, and yet too im
portant a business occasion to
wear an afternoon dress, the New
York lady of fashion devised a
dress for her specific needs.
Most often the cocktail dress is
an elaborate - sheath. However,
with the younger set taking up the
idea of this handy and comfortable
mode of dress, the full skirted, or
flared cocktail dress came into
being. Now the term "cocktail
dress" means "that special dress
that you most certainly wouldn't
wear to church, and yet is as
pretty and as feminine as any
long formal."
