I need a semi-formal dress for dh's Christmas party. The other women wear little short dresses. Can I wear a floor length dress? Is that too formal?
Here is one that I am considering. What do you think?

Very elegant dress! That would class as semi-formal here in England.

The website says that due to high demand, they are out.

I must have gotten the last one! If it doesn't fit, I will auction it off to all of you size 10's!

I believe the rule is that you can always dress more formally than indicated but not less. So even if it's more formal.. you're good.
