There are lots of ways to get information on what to wear to a cocktail party. You could do an online search or have your close friends, your mom, your sister, or even a cousin over to help you pick out the right outfit from your closet. If there’s a celebrity you have been idolizing, you could also check out photos of dresses available online or from a magazine you have recently bought. You could also drop by a reputable boutique near you and seek their expert advice; their staff would be happy to help you out.

Cocktail parties are one of those events you should always be ready for, so you should be aware of the type of attire that is acceptable for these particular events. It’s worth noting that the right type of attire for a cocktail party is a balance between casual and formal dressing. It’s also essential that you feel comfortable and elegant at the same time. The great thing about cocktail dresses is, they are often versatile; meaning, you could wear them on different occasions. For example, a unique prom dress for 2023 could be worn to other events such as weddings and homecoming dances. This versatility holds true for plus size prom dresses as well. With a wide range of styles, fabrics, and designs available, plus size cocktail dresses can easily be transformed to fit different occasions

If you are looking for a variety of types of beautiful form-fitting dresses that you could easily wear to cocktail parties, then here are some tips that would surely help you:

  • Light & Airy Fabric In Summer – One of the most important factors to consider when dressing up for a cocktail party being held in summer is to pick a dress that is made of light and airy fabric. Go for a fabric such as chiffon or linen, which can give you a fantastic look as well as ensure you remain cool and comfortable at all times.
  • Heavier Fabric In Winter – For cocktail parties held in one of the cold months of winter, go for heavier as well as more rigid fabric such as velvet and wool. These types of fabric will help keep you warm and create for you a more structured look that is appropriate for the occasion, making you look effortlessly chic and elegant.
  • Floral Pattern – If you are looking for a dress that will make a statement, then a floral pattern is a great option. Floral prints are always in style, and they can be both eye-catching and feminine. However, it’s important to keep in mind that cocktail dresses are typically quite short, so you may want to avoid a dress with a busy or overwhelming print. Instead, go for a dress with a simple print in muted colors. This will help you stand out from the crowd without looking overdressed.

The Christmas Dress Wish Lyst

While doing some online Christmas shopping, I came across this really cool site called Lyst, and it has kept me so very busy. For those who haven’t heard of Lyst, let me break it down to you, it is an online fashion platform based in London and New York, stocking various pieces, accessories and jewellery, from over 11,000 stores and designers worldwide. It is like the coolest online fashion destination ever, with pieces from River Island, Asos, Missguided, Mango, Karen Millen, Michael Kors and many more, all on one site.

This online fashion platform is also like a smart app, as the shopping experience is unique to every user. The more you use the platform, the more it learns about your style and your shopping habits. and the more tailored your shopping experience will be. Shoppers can also ‘lyst’ items to plan their wardrobes and create wish lists, and be alerted when whatever they ‘lyst’ goes on sale or comes back in stock. Isn’t that great? I think it is a very clever idea, I am like a kid in a candy store whenever I am on this website.

I have fallen hopelessly in love with dresses in the last couple of months, and I am sure you would have noticed that from my outfit posts. There are so many stylish dresses in the stores now, I can’t seem to get enough of them at the moment, my skirts and jeans are taking a much-needed break, while I explore my new-found love.

Here are 5 dresses I currently have on my Christmas Wish Lyst, I hope Santa is reading.
