Which party dress would you wear?

Picture this: You're going to a holiday cocktail party, and your adorable crush will be there. You brush your hair, spritz on perfume, and your cheeks are already rosy. The big question is: What will you wear?

Above, a black glitter dress (I LOVE how sexy and elegant it is)...
A flirty one-shouldered pink dress...
A 1920's chiffon dress with a flutter hem...
A purple wrap dress with a sash...
A pink silk dress (I think this one is offbeat yet so gorgeous--what do you think?)

Which dress would you wear? Which suits your personality best?

  2. I'd probably wear the last one as it would accommodate my huge pregnant belly which would actually be pretty cute. Love the color!

    ReplyDelete
  3. The first one for me...Its so beautiful and I simply adore the v-neckline. So snazzy:) Kisses, Joanna

  4. Aw I would either wear the first one or that purple one! I feel like that wrap dress would be super flattering, would go perfectly with my silver heels, and silver accents! :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. I would wear the black glittery dress. I love it!

    ReplyDelete
  6. nina, that would be SO cute! :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love the first one, and would totally wear it if my crush is around ;) The last one is interesting -- I can't keep my eyes off it!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I would go for the one-shoulder pink dress. The length probably suits my petite frame best, and the color would pop against my skin.

    ReplyDelete
  9. That first one is jaw-dropping!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'd wear 1, 2, or 5. Kinda thought that 3 needed a belt or something... although it does make her bum look good :)

  11. Alice & Olivia black glitter for sure. good cut for me and as i approach 40! cut so important!!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh...I'm kinda going for the 1920's chiffon... although I just cut my hair short so possibly something with a detail at the shoulders like the pink one..

    ReplyDelete
  13. black glitter or 1920s chiffon. gorgeous!

    Definitely the black glitter one! So gorgeous, classy, and subtly sexy. My husband would LOVE it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I love that white outfit. It is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  18. man i'm so in love with the black dress although it's $297....really trying to rationalize it as a dress to wear for years and years to come, right? right?? :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Definately the first :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. i'm torn between the first 2...but i think i'll have to go with the 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The black would be best for my personality but the one-shouldered pink would be best for my hips. :/

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love that first one! So so pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I love the black and pink dresses too. So fun!

    ReplyDelete
  24. That first dress is so chic! I think it would be so fun to wear, even though I've already locked down my crush. :) Xo, Katie

    ReplyDelete
  25. That first one is elegant and lovely! My choice!

    ReplyDelete
  26. the black and the blue!!! but the black has something special...

    The pink one-shoulder one :)
    Btw, was I the only one who noticed those gorgeous sandals?? I fell in love!

    ReplyDelete
  28. love the first one...it's adorable

    I wouldn't wear any of them. Unfortunately, they are only for thin people like all the clothes featured on your blog. They are pretty though. I love the last one.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Without a doubt, the last one. Adorbs.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love the black dress you show first, but I think I'd go with the purple wrap dress. Every time I go to a reunion, almost everyone is wearing black. I think wearing a color can make you stand out rather than blend in. And while I think the last dress is really striking, I am not sure that most men I know would find it appealing. (I'm pretty sure my husband would say things like "weird" and "trying too hard.") If this is a theoretical "look good for your crush" dress, then that's got to be a factor in my decision making.

    ReplyDelete
  32. i like the last dress best :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. The last one! I love the high neckline and that the focus is on the legs (which makes sense because I have nothing to show up top!).

    I like it with the ankle booties too.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love the last one!! It's so fun and looks comfortable! Great finds, as always!

  35. pink silk dress seems more like my style. it is so elegant and modern!

    ReplyDelete
  36. i love the first one, very classy and sexy.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I am totally in love with the first one.

    ReplyDelete
  38. All adorable. I like the first one. But my question is this. I live in the midwest, which means the weather for any holiday party I'm invited to is always impossibly cold and/or incliment--surely the same in NYC. That being said, do you just suck it up and bare those legs/toes arms/shoulders and say the hell with it? I always struggle with that, and as a result usually wear pants!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Definitely the first one!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh so difficult! Maybe the blue one? Or possibly the first pink one

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love the second one! Cute for holiday parties or a summer one!

    xo, Anna of (Green Gable)

    ReplyDelete
  42. oh the jenni kayne dress is amazing! And I'm short, so maybe it wouldn't be quite that short on me! Love the booties too.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would love to wear the first and second one.

  44. I would have to flip a coin between the sparkle black dress or the funky pink dress (so cute!), or just get myself invited to two parties.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Definitely something pink and flirty. I want to catch his attention.

    ReplyDelete
  46. LOVE the first black dress...so simple, yet so sexy! I may also wear the second pink dress...but in a different color. :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love the last one...it pops with color, just like my personality!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hands down, I'd go with number one. So sexy, yet sophisticated.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Wow. I love the first dress, but the 1920's chiffon dress is pretty incredible and a great switch up.

    ReplyDelete
  50. While the black dress is very fun and sort of a more classic holiday look with the sparkles, the pink dress is so pretty and sometimes in the dead of winter you need a little pop of pink as a pick me up!

    ReplyDelete
  51. The chiffon with the flutter hem!!!! LOVE IT!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Purple with sash...because of my shape. If I had a different shape it would be the black one, but that purple one flatters a fuller figure! They're all lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Black glitter or 1920's chiffon - both are gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I like the cream vintage looking one. But I don't think I could pull it off with my boyish shape!

    ReplyDelete
  55. the flutter hemmed dress FOR SURE !!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I am so in love with that blck glitter dress. It is sexy and classy.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The black glitter dress, without question!

    ReplyDelete
  58. first one for sure. that would definitely get his attention!

    ReplyDelete
  59. i love the flirty one-shouldered but would (almost) undoubtedly end up in the black + a belt.

    ReplyDelete
  60. The first one would be my natural go-to pick because I love wearing little black dresses. However, if I was feeling like I wanted to spice things up a bit - I would go with the last one - I love the short hot pink silk, the simplicity is stunning and I love the subtle detail of how the fabric is cut and lays.
    Much love,
    B

  61. Definitely the first dress! Showing just the right amount of skin...gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I love the top one the best!

    ReplyDelete
  63. The first one caught my eye immediately! But the color of the second one is so fun!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Call me boring, (or classic!), I'd go with the LBD. It never fails!

    ReplyDelete
  65. pink one shoulder please.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I simply NEED that Alice + Olivia black glittery dress! Where has it been all my life?!

    ReplyDelete
  67. The black glitter dress all the way! Gorgeous. {Now if only I had somewhere to wear it...}

    ReplyDelete
  68. definitely #1. I'm actually wearing something similar this year with a pair of gold sparkly louboutin heels. I can't wait! Except I'm only looking to impress the hubby.

    ReplyDelete
  69. that black dress is very va va voom. i love that one and the vintage inspired chiffon dress... which i would choose if i was slightly taller.

    ReplyDelete
  70. the LAST one! so striking in cut + colour. pretty colour but the style makes it not so girly. LOVE it.

    ReplyDelete
  71. absolutely the 1920s chiffon or the black glitter dress! how beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  72. LOVE the pink Shoshanna one. I need it now. Too bad it is out of my price range!

    ReplyDelete
  73. #1, hands-down!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Joanna, I love these posts so much. They break up the current monotony of my day. And I'd probably go with the first or last as well. I love how one scream holidays, but I love shift dresses and the slit makes for an interesting surprise.

    ReplyDelete
  75. definitely the black glitter dress, so effortless and chic.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Most definitely the class black with a modern twist! I adore it. :)
    check out my new blog: http://theseamandfold.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  77. The last one, for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  78. The black one of course... :-))

    It's a little dangerous and yet safe at the same time.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Especially love the black and the hot pink.

  80. none of these :)

    i love dresses but i am curvy, i have boobs, and none of those would love great with my boobs.

    i am currently looking at a £60 dress in warehouse that is black and the sleeves are mesh and has polka dots and i love it. now to go to the store and buy it!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Either the first or the second one!

    ReplyDelete
  82. The third one - chiffon! So beautiful.

    the fisrt one for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  84. The black one is super cute, but 1920's inspired dresses are a weak spot of mine! By they way, I'm loving the shoes they've all been paired with! Those bronzey peep toes and nude t-straps! Oh my!

    ReplyDelete
  85. the black for sure!! www.savvystayathomemom.blogpsot.com

    ReplyDelete
  86. For a holiday party I'd go with the black or the last one with some major heels! They are all great though!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Maybe it's boring, but I would definitely go with the black! Give me an LBD and day of the week, and I'm a happy camper:) Plus the sparkle in it makes it EXTRA festive!

    ReplyDelete
  88. I adore the first one, sparkles are SO my thing!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Anonymous1:03 PM

    I love the black one SO much and it is festive and fancy and the second becauste it has a neckline which is sexy, but you don't need cleavage to pull it off. (I have good shoulders, but small boobsl!). Love those first 2!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I absolutely love everything about that black dress

    http://chicgeekery.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  91. i would go for number 2 or 4

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'd have to go with the black glitter dress... too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I love the top dress, the sparkly black one! That is a perfect LBD. It looks so slinky and flattering! I also like the one-shoulder pink dress. Very cute style.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Anonymous1:24 PM

    the 20's chiffon, or the minimalist pink one (but it would need to be black!)

    ReplyDelete
  95. I love the first one, but I would never be comfortable in that all night - especially at a party where I'd want to eat appetizers and drink booze! My go-to holiday dress style is sleeveless, v-neck, fitted top, empire waist so the bottom flows and you don't have to suck in all night!

    ReplyDelete
  96. The first one, definitely! So classy! You could totally pull that of Joanna. Not so sure I could. Luckily, or I would have to consider buying it, and it is kind of pricy. But a classic, you could wear it for years to come! Go for it! :)

    ReplyDelete
  97. my usual choice would be the first one. on a more "i'm feeling great about myself today" day, id go for the last one most probably!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Definitely the first dress. It's pretty perfect. But then I'd choose the last dress as a good second option- except I'd add some great leggings and a pair of cool wedges!

    ReplyDelete
  99. The first one wins it for me. Normally, I think black dresses drain me as I have dark hair and dark eyes, but the glitter and cut is amazing. The pink dress is an amazing colour but the length is a little short. I realise that's the point but for me I'd not have hardly a smidge of self consciousness in the black dress.

  100. Glittery black or 1 shoulder pink ~ what fabulous choices! :)

    ReplyDelete
  101. oohh... i love the silk pink one!... although i would wear it with black or maybe red tights.. it looks so short :/

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'd wear the one shoulder pink dress...it's not too form fitting like the black one so I can breathe :0)

    I'm a firm believer that if you feel comfortable you will look sexier

  103. kaela d.1:47 PM

    I'm big chested and short, so I'm not sure any of them would really flatter me :) But I do really like the shoulder pink (and I don't even like pink!) haha

    ReplyDelete
  104. I would definitely choose the last pink one -- if I temporarily lost my mind enough to spend $650 on a dress.

    ReplyDelete
  105. The first one (Alice & Olivia) would be best for my body type. So pretty, love it!

    ReplyDelete
  106. The first one without a doubt... it is an ALL in one!!!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Definitely the black glitter dress!

    ReplyDelete
  108. I LOVE a little bit of sparkle for the holidays, but i think the last pink dress is my fav. It's simple and artful.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'd love to wear the black glitter dress (beautiful!), but, more realistically, I'd probably go for the wrap dress, which is a very flattering cut and can be dressed up or down. It would depend on the occasion. I'd love to have an occasion that calls for the shiny one!

    ReplyDelete
  110. One shouldered pink dress! So cute!

    ReplyDelete
  111. love that black on on the top!

    ReplyDelete
  112. I love the first one you chose, very elegant and flattering for a wide array of figure types. Gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I love the chiffon hem one but also the black glitter, very unique for a little black dress.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Aside from them all being gorgeous, I'd wear the hot pink one of the chiffon one!

    ReplyDelete
  115. For me, I would most definitely pick the second one!

    ReplyDelete
  116. I think I would go with the purple chiffon. Add some black platform pumps, a black clutch and layer some gold jewelry. Ready to party! :)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Jennifer_NJ2:40 PM

    the black to the first party and the 1920's vintage to the next - tres chic!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Always black.... I like the color even if it is predictable. I love the shape of this dress.

    ReplyDelete
  119. i would love the one-shouldered dress. it's so cute! it'd be something a little different than i'd normally go for, but a fun pick me up for this mommy. who wouldn't have a blast at a party in such a fun dress!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Sparkly black for me - classic but festive!

    ReplyDelete
  121. the first one- without a double!

    ReplyDelete
  122. the last one made me catch my breath. although i shy away from bright colors like red (or bright pink), it's fun to go all out for the holidays. the cut is fabulously unique.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I'd definitely choose the first number. I like how it's got a subtle sparkle but the cut is both sexy and classy. I can't wear shapless things so this one rules.

    ReplyDelete
  124. The blue one, cause I like it and cause it would fit my body ;)
    Is very important to be aware of what make us look better...

    ReplyDelete
  125. The 1920s chiffon number is my style, but I can't afford any of these frocks! Oh to daydream, though. xo.

    ReplyDelete
  126. I love the sparkly black one, it is so festive and pretty. I might get it for a wedding I have to go to right before Christmas :)

    ReplyDelete
  127. The Chiffon & Pink are absolutely amazing!!! I would normally choose the black but lately I have been a little braver with color. :)

    ReplyDelete
  128. The first and last are definitely my favourites, but in the end I think I would go fot the pink silk, it's so sexy! And love the boots too!

    ReplyDelete
  129. Anonymous3:57 PM

    I am liking the 1920's dress more and more...

    ReplyDelete
  130. In love with the last amd smitten with the first.

    ReplyDelete
  131. The Chiffon dress is me!

    ReplyDelete
  132. last one! absolutely adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  133. That first dress is to DIE for!!!

    ReplyDelete
  134. The first dress hands down!

    ReplyDelete
  135. I would like to say the black one, because it's so understatingly sexy, but I'd probably go for the pink one-shoulder because it's bold and fun (like one should be at a party!)

    ReplyDelete
  136. These are ALL gorgeous! The only one I wouldn't wear is the flapper-inspired dress. It's gorgeous, but so long it would probably make my petite 5'3" frame a whole foot shorter. I like clothes that add the illusion of height.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Foteini P.4:49 PM

    the first one!classy yet sexy!the rest look too summery for a winter party!

    ReplyDelete
  138. Without question, the 1920's chiffon. l-o-v-e LOVE.

    ReplyDelete
  139. 1920s chiffon FOR SURE!! what a dress!! WOW!!

    ReplyDelete
  140. Definitly the chiffon dress! SO beautiful and not too wild.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I would wear the black one (after loosing a little more post-pregnancy weight.) I think, the blue wrap dress would be very flattering and look best on me, but I feel that "the ex" (or men in general) might not find it as appealing as the little black piece. Also, knowing the "ex's taste" would play a big role. :)

    P.S. Hm, what a strange comment above about "all the clothes on your blog is for thin people". It's your blog - you can write about whatever is interesting to you.

    ReplyDelete
  142. The second one! The colour is perfect, will definitely stand out in a crowd and the cut is just divine!

    ReplyDelete
  143. I love the first dress! I would want to wear it ALL THE TIME.

    ReplyDelete
  144. The first and last are my favorites. Partial to the first...so glam yet understated.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Anonymous5:27 PM

    The pink silk drape is fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  146. This post couldn't have come at a better time, I'm desperately trying to find the perfect holiday dress for a party in a couple of weeks. I'm going to hunt down that last one ! I love how it's classic, yet unexpected at the same time !

    ReplyDelete
  147. The black is classic as always but that pink silk is way cute!

    ReplyDelete
  148. I LOVE the 1920s chiffon!! The hem is flirty- it's just perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  149. The wrap dress would certainly suit my body the best. I'd also love to wear the black sparkly one, with spanx of course!

    ReplyDelete
  150. I'm completely a fan of the first one. It is so sexy! A bold move for a first date perhaps (I would probably go with the second one if that were the case), but perfect for a romantic dinner out.

    ReplyDelete
  151. number 1 or number 4 would be amongst my choices. :)

    ReplyDelete
  152. definitely the black glitter dress.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I love the black glitter dress the most!

    ReplyDelete
  154. The Black or the White :)

    ReplyDelete
  155. I would go for the one shoulder hot pink dress. So cute and fun!

    ReplyDelete
  156. marianne7:37 PM

    I'd definitely choose the black one too. When seducing, I always go with the safer choice. If you feel good about yourself, people realize - and respond.

    ReplyDelete
  157. I am in love with the one shoulder pink dress- it's absolutely gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  158. Probably the black one..

    ReplyDelete
  159. Love the black dress. Might do the pink one too depending on my mood. But that black dress smolders.

    ReplyDelete
  160. The second one is ADORABLE but I would probably go for the first. I am loving all the sparkles this season.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Def the first one! Very festive.

    ReplyDelete
  162. 1920's chiffon dress!!! Mostly because she has my hair and coloring so I know (if I lost like 30 lbs, lol) I'd look HOT!

    They are all gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  163. ooh, black glitter dress!

    ReplyDelete
  164. the pink for sure!! it's a simple sexy statement.

    xx

    ReplyDelete
  165. The one shoulder pink dress is perfection to me! It is so pretty!

    ReplyDelete
  166. Love LOVE the pink lil dress. It would be perfect with a nice sleek black tux looking jacket.

    ReplyDelete
  167. I am in love with the chiffon dress with the flutter hem! I'd probably glam it up a bit by adding some bead work to the hem :)

    ReplyDelete
  168. the chiffron dress all the way. how fabulous is this dress! I love the loose fit.

    ReplyDelete
  169. LOVE the first one!

    ReplyDelete
  170. I would wear the first one, definitely. I really like that silhouette, and the sparkles help too. I would like a sequined miniskirt or dress to wear to holiday parties; they're so festive!

    ReplyDelete
  171. I would definitely go with the first black one! It fits my style perfectly!

    ReplyDelete
  172. Oh, I love the first dress! So chic and the perfect cocktail party dress!

    ReplyDelete
  173. I'd wear the black or the purple wrap.

    ReplyDelete
  174. BLACK. I love colors, but black is instant boy lure

  175. Dress one...all...the...way!

    ReplyDelete
  179. i lovelove that pink silk dress! i don't wear many bright colors, but i would wear it in a heart beat if it were black!

    ReplyDelete
  180. The last pink silk dress - the bright pink is tempered and made more elegant by the clean modern lines of the dress.

    ReplyDelete
  181. The first Black Dress or the purple Wrap dress!
    Though i am little drawn to the vintage dress too!

    ReplyDelete
  182. I'd wear the first one for sure !

  183. The blue one. No doubt. I want. I need. NOW.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I LOVE that first one. So classy but still casual in a way.

    ReplyDelete
  185. if i had a crazy fly body i'd go with the 1920's dress with the flutter hem, that is too sexy, but in the real world you'd most likely see me in the purple wrap dress.

    ReplyDelete
  186. The black one, the black one, the black one!
    So cute! where can I find it??

    Hello there, I found your blog a while ago but that's the first time I am posting here :). found you via cup cakes and cashmere.

  187. Just clicked on the black dress link :) never mind my question! he he

    ReplyDelete
  188. I love the chiffon flutter dress!! It is so fun and flirty, and it will stand out more than the black dress (which was my second pick!).

    ReplyDelete
  189. MónicaSilva9:18 AM

    The black one definitely.

    ReplyDelete
  190. these are all gorgeous; however, the first one is jaw-dropping. it so fits my personality! thanks for asking, i love these kinds of posts.
