Stylish party dresses, are you ready?

Some parties are special enough that the standard jeans and t-shirt look just won’t cut it. For occasions like this, a girl needs a dress that is not necessarily overly formal but is fancy and hip so that heads will turn when she walks in the room. Parties like this don’t call for a ball gowns or slinky, long evening gowns; they need fun, flirty styles that work well on the dance floor.

Girls who want a stand-out version of the ever-popular “little black dress” will love the Marilyn Monroe “Some Like It Hot” inspired V-Neck Short Jersey Dress. Fun, flirty and fashionable, this understated sleeveless A-Line jersey dress works for both formal and informal events, depending on how you accessorize. The dress has a deep v-neck with a jeweled ribbon tie belt accenting the waist. It is fully lined and is made of polyester and spandex. This dress comes in black and plum and must be hand-washed.


Black Tie
The most formal social gathering nowadays is the black tie affair. A traditional wedding held in the evening or a political dinner often requires formalwear. That means tuxedos for the guys and evening gowns for the girls. The definition of an evening gown is not set in stone. As a general rule, the hemline should reach the ankles. Full length or tea length dresses are preferred. Luxurious materials like satin, silk, velvet and chiffon are commonly used in evening gowns.

Semi-Formal
Cocktail and dinner parties with close friends are generally semi-formal affairs. While an evening gown would be over the top, guests are expected to dress up a bit. One easy way to select a dress is to consider where the party is being held—the venue. If the semi-formal event is a holiday office party, it is probably best to dress a bit more conservatively. A tea-length cocktail dress or a little black dress with tasteful accessories is appropriate. However, if the semi-formal event is a dinner with close friends, shorter cocktail dresses are okay.

Business Formal
Events that are held at work or with business clients often call for business formal attire. Unlike the holiday office party, guests are expected to show their respect for their clients and colleagues by dressing appropriately. This means either tailored business suits or long dresses. A cocktail dress is fine as long as it is long enough.
