Do you want to spend $300? For these one off occasions try Amazon for $50.

Yes if it's cocktail attire per the invite or stated dress code. Too much.
Cocktail often is not floor length. Knee length, maybe midi.
But pants work!

Is a floor length black velvet dress with glittery ruffled sleeves too much?

Go to Macy's, they have plenty of options in your price range, take your time and find something comfortable that makes you feel like you look terrific

Bloomingdales (I go to the one in Friendship Heights) has a ton of options. I bought a floor-length black tie gown for $200 before Christmas.

Cocktail attire? Are you time traveling back to 1986?

I think black pants and a dressy top counts as cocktail attire, depending on the crowd.

Slim black silk or nice crepe pants.
Glittery or colorful tunic top.

I wear mostly GAP, LL Bean, J Crew, Banana Republic. I hate shopping. I am 53, size M. I need some fabulous cocktail attire for a fashionable party. A) What is cocktail attire? B) What brands am I looking for, under $300?
