I love this time of year for one pretty shallow reason. I usually get a new dress for my husband’s company Holiday party. Every year, the decision gets harder and harder, as so many great designs are introduced specifically for the Holidays. Here are three of my favorites for 2009. I’ve carefully chosen one dress under $300 for those of you who may be looking to splurge, one dress under $200 and one dress under $100 for those of us who are still being a little more frugal.
Under $300
Karen Millen is one of my favorite new discoveries. I love the unique details added to her designs. If you are looking for a wonderful shopping experience, I highly recommend you visit a store and let the helpful staff “dress” you. Staff receive specialized training to know what designs work best with various body styles. This dress is a stretch silk strapless dress with sculpted frill down the front. Detachable straps included. Available in sizes 2 through 12, this dress retails for $299.00.
Under $200
Dress by White House|Black Market
If you follow The Stylish Planner blog or follow me (Jeannine) on Twitter, you know by now that I adore White House|Black Market. It is my “go to” store for many things, but especially dresses. From the website: this luxurious Venetian lace over smooth black satin creates a rich juxtaposition of textures on this chic cocktail silhouette. Available in sizes 00 to 16, this dress retails for $188.00
Under $100
Dress by Victoria’s Secret.com
Everyone wants more for their money these days and this dress fits the bill. It has wonderful versatility, and can be worn so many ways that it comes with how-to-wear illustrations! The dress has ruching on the sides and is made of spandex and matte jersey. From the website: Just a few of the ways it can be worn: strapless, V-neck, cross-back, double-strap one-shoulder, one-shoulder, halter, knotted-strap halter, twist-front halter, twist-around, back-braided, or create your own look. The possibilities are endless!
Available in sizes XS-XL, this dress retails (as of the time of this post) for $79.00.
I hope this post helps you find the perfect Holiday dress this season. Please write in and let me know if you choose any of these dresses and how they worked for you! Happy weekend!
