Fashion has seriously gone asymmetrical! First there were the hi low hems, then waves of  asymmetrical wedding and formal gowns last season.  This year, party dresses are all about asymmetrical necklines.  A winning semi formal dress recipe? Combine sequin fabric with one shoulder styles and you’ve got the beginning of a great night out!  Here’s 5 semi formal party dresses featuring sequins and one shoulder necklines.

Sparkling bronze and sleeveless!

Bronze sequins shimmer on this sleeveless short dress.  With  sequin fabric, any embellishment needs to be low key and effective.  Here, a draped epaulette keeps this dress on point. With its side zipper, you can slip into your dress and heels and swoosh! You’ll look great at that reception or semi formal party.

Continuing on that metallic trend, a silver sequin one sleeve dress is perfect for the red carpet. The dolman sleeve drapes graciously, which further accents the pattern in the fabric. This cocktail dress looks fabulous on the dance floor.

You can’t have a list of semi formal dresses with a touch of black! This split sleeve sequin dress quite cleverly ties at the wrist! The ruched body smooths over your body without clinging.  This cocktail dress keeps the asymmetrical theme going even in the sequin placement on the fabric. Totally #PromGirlSMC!

Moving out of the metallics and black, there’s definitely sequins for those of us who love color! Ruching at the waist creates a flowing pink one shoulder cocktail dress. Mix soft colors for a delicate way to wear sequins.  Try dynamic colors and let them know who’s got the power! Choose this dress in the light mauve, fuschia or silver.

Finally, I chose a long sleeve one shoulder semi formal dress from Shail K. Simple, glamourous and effective, the tone on tone sequins are available in black, white, royal blue, ivory or emerald… in other words, whether you want color or no color, this semi formal dress could be the one for you! The long sleeve is embellished with crystal jewels that sparkle at the cuff.
