SHORT COCKTAIL DRESSES

The perfect cocktail dress should work for every occasion, especially since this dress style is traditionally short. At Effie's Boutique, we know the importance of looking great and feeling even better. With our online selection of boutique style cocktail dresses, elegant evening gowns, and more, you'll always have a stylish option in your closet.

Where can I wear my cocktail dress?

A truly unique cocktail dress should be a staple in every woman's wardrobe. Luckily, Effie's Boutique showcases a vast number of elegant short evening dresses that suit any occasion. However, Christian Dior named the cocktail dress after cocktail hour, traditionally known as the time between the end of a wedding ceremony and dinner. This time often falls between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., but you can wear a cocktail party dress at any time now.

Whether you're walking the red carpet or looking for a unique prom look, a formal cocktail dress can do it all. A lace look is easy to dress up or down depending on how you accessorize. This makes it a perfect option for a night on the town or a romantic date. An embellished look follows the trends of the time, making it a unique buy each year! You might even be tempted to walk down the aisle in one of our elegant white cocktail dresses as you plan your summer wedding. The options truly are endless, regardless of the origins of the name.

Long or short...we've got them all

Cocktail dresses are typically thought of as short, but they are often available in long styles as well! While a long cocktail dress typically works better for formal occasions, short cocktail dresses offer a dash of diversity because of their ability to be dressed up or down depending on accessories and styling. Try exploring all the different lengths available on our website today. We stock various couture designers, so you should be able to find something you love. Some designers even feature jumpsuits in their cocktail collection, offering a unique look that many people will wear again and again for special occasions.

Short evening dresses are year-round staple thanks to their ability to seamlessly blend in at your special event while still standing out from everyone else’s evening wear. Try shopping our elegant cocktail dresses for a look that works with any occasion.
