A Line Formal Dresses

An A-line formal dress is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and flattering silhouettes in eveningwear. You will love the A-line gowns from TheDressOutlet.com that are well-balanced, comfortable yet elegant. The shape easily narrows at the waist and widens at the hem; the fit allows for movement. You can shop satin, chiffon, lace, and tulle, made for weddings, galas, prom and formal dinner. With inclusive sizing, classic fabrics, and thoughtful detailing, A-line formal dresses are always a reliable option for any occasion.

Silhouettes You’ll Find

You can wear our A-line gowns to black-tie events in a floor-length version and a semi-formal midi gown. Some designs exhibit clean, minimalist cuts, while others are embellished with sequins, lace overlays, or layered tulle for volume.

Necklines and Sleeves

Choose a strapless gown for a classic prom look. Go for a V-neck to elongate the body. Or wear an off-shoulder cut for pure romance. Long sleeve lace gowns can add a certain sophistication while cap sleeves or halter styles balance out different body types.

Fabric & Detailing

Chiffon fabric gives a light and flowing effect, satin gives a smooth polished appearance, and lace gives a timeless elegance.  The A-line shape looks great in solid colours, while embellished with sequins/fun beading would add some sparkle.

Occasions to Wear

A-line formal dresses are good party wear for prom, evening wedding, galas and cocktail. Because of its forgiving shape, this has become a popular choice for bridesmaids or a gown to re-use later.

Buying Tips

When you're between sizes, it's better to go for the larger one and then alter it at the waist. Look for lined gowns to ensure comfort during long events. A-line skirts are great for dancing around freely so they are practical and elegant as well.
