Tops are garments that cover the top half of your body

Find middle ground with a knee-length, tea-length or midi-length cocktail dress, and remember that dressy jumpsuits and suits for women are also appropriate semi-formal women's outfits

Again, floor-length gowns are best for women, although you could potentially wear a jumpsuit provided the fabric is fancy enough
