Hip Party Dresses for Social Butterflies

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.

A slinkier number that is reminiscent of the 1960′s Mad Men inspired styles is the Stretch Satin Cap Sleeve Dress. Available in a vibrant orchid pink, this slim cut dress features banding to show off curves and satin cap sleeves to flatter arms, creating an overall stunning silhouette. Walk into any room in this dress and heads are sure to be turning your way.

For a more innocent look, the Short Chiffon Baby Doll Dress with Floral Detail is the perfect mix of short, sweet and sassy, but in an all grown up way. With an empire waist and spaghetti strap bodice, this ballet pink dress gives you a flattering silhouette without being too clingy. The dress has a gorgeous floral charmeuse design at the bust, making it a great choice for a spring fling. The Short Chiffon Baby Doll Dress with Floral Detail is fully lined and must be dry-cleaned.

Women who want a sleeker dress with just a dash of frills will adore the Shimmer Satin Dress with Ruffled Shoulder. This short sheath dress comes in a vibrant teal shimmer satin fabric that is lightweight and perfect for dancing on a warm summer night. Its one-shoulder design features a ruffle accent that adds just the right amount of kick to a simple silhouette. The Shimmer Satin Dress with Ruffled Shoulder is fully lined and must also be dry-cleaned.

If funky and frilly are more your style, you just may have met your match with the Short Taffeta Dress with Sequined Hanky Hem. Clearly influenced by the bright styles of the 1980s, this funky frock is perfect for younger women who aren’t afraid to wear bright colors and frills. Made of fuchsia polyester taffeta, this strapless number has a two-tier wavy sequined hem with a black tulle underlay. The dress is fully lined with an invisible back zip and is dry-clean only.

Another funky and frilly option that is a bit more understated is the Short Strapless Tiered Tulle Dress. This black strapless design has a shirred bodice and a natural waist accented with a rhinestone band. Reminiscent of something out of the movie “Black Swan,” the skirt on this dress is made of tiered tulle, giving it a ballerina meets fashionista vibe for a fun, modern twist on formal wear.

For gals who wouldn’t be caught dead in ruffles, tulle or frills of any sort, the Short One Shoulder Stretch Jacquard Dress is a sexy alternative with a more mature vibe. Hitting just above the knee, this silver dress features a beautiful and elegant origami detail at the one shoulder. It is made of a body-hugging stretch jacquard fabric that has a very subtle animal print design. A black sash accents the waist. The Short One Shoulder Stretch Jacquard Dress is fully lined and must be dry-cleaned.

Finally, if frills don’t do it for you and skin tight and sexy just isn’t your style, a classic all-American party dress is just what you need to get your groove on. For stylish elegance that works for both teens and twenty-somethings, the Strapless Tulle Dress with Caviar Beading is wonderful choice, with its delicate yet understated design. This champagne-colored knee-length polyester dress has a black tulle overlay for a burnt-out effect. Its strapless bodice features caviar beading on the overlay and it is ruched at the empire waist. The dress can only be hand-washed to protect the delicate beading and tulle.

When the party calls for fancier fashions than the latest designer jeans, it’s time to find a dress that matches your style and personality. From sleek and sexy to fun and frilly, no matter what your style, there’s a dress out there that can take any social butterfly out of her cocoon and onto the dance floor where she belongs.
