Gorgeous Party & Tea Dresses for any Special Occasion

This party season, a dress is the perfect choice of attire for your special occasion.

Party dresses come in all sorts of cuts and designs, and finding the best one can be tricky.

Things have changed a little since you were a little girl dressing up to go to a friends birthday party !

So to start you off on your search for the perfect dress, here’s some ideas of what to wear for different occasions.

The Tea Party

Going out to tea with your friends? A gorgeous daytime dress will make you feel elegant and beautiful.

The forties inspired tea dress has recently been making a fashion comeback - and looks like being a firm favorite for spring and summer.

Choose a dress in a lightweight fabric, in a colour that compliments you. Pair it with your favourite jewellery and some gorgeous shoes, or retro boots.

A Smart Wedding

Dressing up for a wedding is a really fun occasion.

Make sure you don’t look too bridal by choosing a knee-length style in a girly print. Try to buy something that you can wear again, so dress up a simple outfit by adding fabulous accessories - a clutch bag, leather gloves and an elegant hat or fascinator for a real glam formal look.

For an evening wedding, longer dresses may be appropriate, check your invitation for dress code, failing that, check with bride or groom. 

Whatever the weather, check you have a wrap or cardi that will cover you up when you get a bit chilly.

Works Christmas Party

Festive parties are a great time to wear red and sparkly things, plus its important to make sure you really try hard to choose something a little bit sexy.

Choose heavier, richer fabrics that compliment your figure, or go for figure hugging slinky fabrics that follow every curve if you have the figure for it.

Of course, the little black dress is always a great party piece.  This is one piece that you can wear several times, simply by wearing differing accessories. 

Accessorise with co-ordinating purse, possibly in gold as a festive accent color.  Team it with fabulous heels and glittery jewellery.

The Cocktail Party

This sort of occasion requires an outfit that identifies your personality, that oozes confidence and luxury.

The cocktail dress tends to be simple, yet elegant.  Again the LBD (little black dress) will be a star turn at this sort of event.

Make sure you individualize your gown if you buy from the high-street, so you don’t look like your girl friend. Adding a chunky necklace or pretty pair of shoes will do just the trick.
 

An Evening Out

Whether you're off out to a night club with the girls or a more formal occasion, it's time to find the perfect outfit. 

Most girls enjoy wearing a short dress, teamed with amazing shoes to show off their best asset, their legs.  There are so many styles - so, whether you're looking for fun, elegant or simply a little daring, there's bound to be something in the shops that's perfect for you. 

Glam up on your evening wardrobe for really special occasions by wearing floor sweeping dresses and glitzy jewels.

Steer clear of short casual holiday wear, and pop on a pair of Manolo’s with a stylish number from Diane Von Furstenberg.

This is probably one time you can wear a cheap type of dress and get away with it - the lights are gonna be low, and it's the style, rather than the fabric that people will see. 

So go on, treat yourself to something new for that special evening out !
