What type of dress should I wear to a semiformal? What colors would be good for my very pale skin?

Answer 1

Very pale skin doesn't tell me much. You could be either a cool (Summer or Winter) or a warm (Spring or Autumn.) So really, there are 4 different types of coloring that you might have.

For a semi-formal, you want a knee or tea length dress. Nothing too short or too long. Keep it simple and elegant so you don't go overboard, then add the glitz and glam with your accessories.
Any of the dresses would work for a semi-formal.

If you opt for a longer dress, then keep your accessories minimal and very simple so you don't look over dressed.

Answer 2

I don't recommend trying to do a "goth look" as that's stereotypical to wear all black and call it a look, plus I don't think goth people would appreciate that.

Anyway, you would look much better in a warm color like gold or red or orange. If you have more red undertones in your skin, go with red or orange, if you have more yellow undertones go with gold, yellow, or green. Brown can be really pretty too.

As for type of dress, don't go with anything really Fancy-looking. Stay simple, cocktail dresses and dresses that hit at about the knee are good.
