Stand Out in an Eye-Catching Evening Gown from Belk
Belk’s collection of formal wear dresses includes a variety of styles to match your preferences. Choose from long, formal floor-length evening gowns that flow gracefully as you move or opt for a semi-formal dress with a dramatic high slit for a modern touch. If you prefer a shorter look, explore our selection of cocktail dresses, ranging from knee-grazing designs to elegant tea-length options.
Not sure which formal gown is right for you? Consider how you’ll accessorize it. We have plenty of formal gowns for wedding guests that pair perfectly with shimmering clutches, elegant heels and any of your go-to fine jewelry. A flattering neckline, like a strapless design, pairs beautifully with statement jewelry—and a strapless bra creates a seamless look. If your women's evening dress is an unusual color and you’re worried about your accessories matching, nude-tone pumps are a versatile pick you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe for future events.
Make your special night one to remember—look and feel your best with a stunning formal dress from Belk!
