The long silver-looking dress carries bright lines through the waist towards the floor, offering a clear comparison with short fringe areas.
The lines continue across substantial parts of this dress. At the top they meet a high neck edge and a long central opening; around the waist they change direction before extending towards the ground. The overall drawing differs from separate fringe areas at the shoulder and mini skirt. Consider that continuity when thinking about the kind of photograph you would like.
This picture was taken outdoors and also shows a rear length resting on the ground. It cannot establish the indoor lighting result or suitability for your own route. It can prompt you to compare light spread along one long area with light concentrated in several shorter zones. Keep distance and background reasonably similar when trying this with actual garments.
If your search is already for a short party dress, the reference does not need to change that choice. It widens the visual comparison by introducing a longer shape. The decisions about length and movement remain separate from the pattern of bright lines that you find appealing.
