I blinked and it was November.  Which means that I’ll look away for a moment, and it’ll be the holidays.  So I better buy a party dress now, because the last thing I want is to be hunting for something on December 23rd.  Here are a few that caught my eye.

Velvet is always big for holiday, but this year, it’s everywhere.  This easy wrap-effect dress is a wonderful choice.  It’s shown here in plus, but it’s also available in misses.  If you want a velvet dress that feels a bit younger, this Vince Camuto fit-and-flare dress is worth a look.

Want a bit of color in an elegant package?  This hot pink Pomander Place Lennox dress is incredible.  I would probably leave the white boots at home (🤷‍♀️), and wear it with burgundy velvet sandal for a bit of holiday cheer.

I always like to wear white to winter parties, it’s a fresh look.  This dress from WHBM is a great option.  The sleeve is fabulous.  Also in petite.

This Ann Taylor dress is perfect for any party.  What I like about it is that it gives you a lightness while still offering a sleeve and a modest length (though I might raise it a bit).  The shimmer is nice too.  If you like a plisse dress (plisse are the crinkled tiny pleats), I also found this shorter, printed one at H&M is amazing.

If a real party dress is on your wishlist, I like this long-sleeve sequin minidress.  It’s a great look at any age.  This BR dress is also available in petite.

Have a more relaxed party on offer?  This sweater dress is a little bit sultry and a little bit cozy.  I love the slit and the off-the-shoulder.  The dress also comes in purple, and sizes into petite and tall.
