The old image Image:PromDress.JPG was only a Prom dress - not a classical Cocktail dress like Image:Cocktail dress 22209831.jpg. I've exchanged the images --Herrick 13:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, should've read this before reverting. Still, there ought to be an even better picture out there.... -- Smjg 23:30, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see problems with both images - the prom one is a poor pose and the dres isn't so good. the cocktail dress image can barely be seen. I took a look on Commons and flickr and came up with a few alternatives we could consider:

File:Bluedress.jpg

and a cc-by-sa 2.5 image on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iluvrhinestones/297039837/

My personal favorite is the first. -- SiobhanHansa 15:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh. Inspite the fact that the first picture Image:Helen Sjöholm.jpg is a "nice" dress, it only shows a typically dress from 1950! It misses the classic strong line. --Herrick 08:40, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Statement about men's attire

The statement that men may wear a dark suit to a semi-formal event is incorrect and should be removed. See Semi formal. In addition, it's off-topic in this article. Toddst1 (talk) 17:12, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Leila, My apologies for the second undo, but I've removed the material you added from your website. While I can see you're trying to constructively contribute and you've solved the copyright problems, that material fails Wikipedia:Verifiability as WP:SPS. Bluntly, just because you published it on your website, doesn't make it true. Beyond that, the material is more of a style guide which we don't do per WP:HOWTO. While many folks think that type of info would be useful on Wikipedia, we have made a decision not to include that type of material. I hope this helps.
