I’ve been looking for a work cocktail/gala dinner outfit and came across this on sale. What do you ladies think? I’m barefoot here but would wear kitten heels and shorten it.

I’m not sure it’s appropriate for this particular event, but it may fit a wardrobe gap.
Not sure I honestly love it.....how do you feel? Is it a bit loose up top? It’s long which is quite formal, so not cocktail appropriate. Don’t buy something bc it’s on sale, it should flatter and make you feel spectacular.

It’s loose because of the draping. They pinned it closed under the arms and that narrows the top a bit.

I do like it - it checks a lot of my comfort/fit/ease criteria. And it’s matte viscose so very travel friendly. I figured I could dress it down for dinners out or resort to bring down the CPW.

I’m going back to Saks tomorrow to see if I can find something at a lower price range, since this would be an occasional use item.

I think it's a nice dress but I would pass on the dress. As I feel like it is nice but doesn't give you nice a silhouette and definitely need some alteration here and there. But what kind of dress are you looking for here? they should have other options.. Because I think it will be too much for a cocktail party and for a gala party it could work because its a long dress.. HTH

Check out their other black dresses, I have a Dior that is fitted up top then flares ....I can take a pic later. It’s very classic, can be dressed up or down and is timeless, so at full price it was well worth it.

Thanks! I’m pondering it as I do 2-3 work related evening events per year. One or two are cocktail, and the other is this gala award dinner. Different people at each, so I can repeat. The gala is an odd mix because my industry is not high end like finance, so some guys show up in dress pants/ties, but the ladies all dress up.

Oh please do post a pic if you can.

This is the other option I tried - it would be suitable for the cocktail events, as well as stretch to the gala. But I need to go two sizes up from this to fit the waist and bust.
