diamonds on dress Diamond Gown Mermaid with sweep train Design Velvi - Size 6, Stardust

But the lines of what constitutes cocktail are a bit blurry because there really are no strict rules about what makes something cocktail-appropriate (apart from maybe not showing up in an over-the-top ball gown)

The more colors, patterns, and textures you have in the wardrobe, the more mix-and-match looks you can create

The fitted unlined sleeves are kept sheer to continue with the ethereal and light feel of the gown

Choose a cowl-neck design, which frames the face beautifully and drapes elegantly over the collarbones
