Stunning New Years party dresses

Welcoming in the New Year 2011 is a night you'll want to remember - so shopping for a new dress is a MUST !

However you usually celebrate, if you're going somewhere new, do ask a little about the event - where and when do people gather , is there a fireworks display (can you watch from indoors) and what celebrations usually happen.

Most women choose a cocktail-style dress for a New Year's Eve party - there's a reason for that.

If you're wearing a long gown, having a celebration knees up or doing the conga at the end of the night could be difficult.

Certainly, singing or dancing to Auld Lang Syne requires being able to move around easily - so you need to choose a dress which allows for movement.

Alternatively, smart trousers with a glitzy gold or silver top can look suitably glamorous without costing the earth.

For more formal occasions, longer dresses may well be appropriate - check out your invitation or photos of previous events.

New Year Celebrations

If there's any chance you'll be dancing or doing the conga round your neighbourhood- make sure that your shoes & outfit are up to the exercise.

And if you're hoping for a kiss with that someone special at midnight - make sure you pucker up with fresh lipstick and mouth freshener! 

Don't forget those accessories - shoes, bags & jewelry

The right accessories can make or break your outfit - it's what takes an ordinary dress and make's it into a Cinderella ballgown.

Pretty white satin sandals with rhinestone-style trim, these are elegant with a heel that'll show off your lovely legs.

Gold, silver/white and bronze sandals are ideal for the party season, a little glitz doesn't come amiss either.

Classic shoes with a studded trim - that little something extra for a special occasion.

Simple white or black sandals with a glitzy trim are a great addition to any womans wardrobe - for parties and special occasions.
