Girl Wearing A Red Dress

• Ballet dress, a full-skirted dress worn for ballet performances.
• Tea gown, a frothy, dressy dress with a low hem for afternoon social wear, or for dinner at home
• Cocktail dress, a party dress of the current street length (1950s and sporadically popular since)
• Dinner dress, a formal dress worn when fashionable people "dressed for dinner" (men in tuxedos or dinner jackets). While it may be as fancy as a ball gown, the skirt is generally narrow.
