Is a maxi length dress acceptable for cocktail attire? Or is it short only?
Yes for sure! Wear what makes you comfortable - and being a little overdressed is totally fine! More on reddit.com

Do people wear maxi dresses to cocktail weddings now?
Yes sometimes. The definition of cocktail he's gotten a little looser over the years, and also some of the time, cocktail length is just not on trend and is surprisingly hard to find. So yes people will wear a floor length dress, although I will say I'd typically choose a less formal-feeling dress for a cocktail wedding than I would for a formal wedding. It's hard to explain exactly what that is but there's certain materials and embellishments that I'd wear to a formal wedding but not a cocktail wedding because I'm trying to keep to the right level of formality that is in the dress code.

Maxi dress for a "cocktail formal" summer wedding?
I feel obligated to mention that Baltic Born's return policy kind of blows, if you're not familiar with it - store credit only and sometimes you don't always get your full cost back as a credit. If you're already aware of this, please disregard. Having said that, I think this dress works just fine! "Cocktail formal" is a frustrating dress code in and of itself and my guess is you'll see a mix of dresses of all lengths - this should fit in well. More on reddit.com

What to wear to a cocktail attire wedding when you hate your legs?

Wear PANTS! Go get yourself a pair of silk or chiffon pants with wide legs (always available in black) and then get a cocktail top (a little sparkle or a real pop of color) a kitten heeled shoe and go enjoy yourself.

Dresses aren’t for everyone and it’s 2023. You can be “cocktail” in more than a dress.

Can a cocktail dress be long?
When it comes to finding the perfect cocktail dress, length is an essential consideration. We recommend choosing a dress that falls somewhere between knee-length and mid-calf, as this is the most universally accepted length for cocktail hour.

What is considered a cocktail dress?
A cocktail dress is a mid to knee length dress in a dressier fabrication, like silk, sequin, satin and more. As for colors and styles, the possibilities are endless. For a classic look, opt for a little black dress with understated details, or choose a bold and bright hue that speaks to your personal style.

Is a maxi length dress acceptable for cocktail attire? Or is it short only? : r/Weddingattireapproval
June 5, 2024 - Midi or maxi is fine. Wear what makes you feel good! ... That’s a relief! I keep running into this problem where I guess there are a ton of me right now looking for the same thing. So when I do find a dress that fits the description it’s always sold out in L/XL…besides the white color way.
