Medium

These dresses are also versatile. They go well with flats or heels, they’re formal but fun, and you can wear it anywhere. They are feminine and make you look very put together, so they are also great for business.
Long
Long gowns are best saved for black tie events, weddings, and the red carpet. These dresses are classy, timeless, and go well with events that are on the same line. If you want to keep it more modern, wear something shorter.
