The best party dresses are like gold dust: They can be an irritatingly difficult thing to find even in the winter when sequins, sparkle and glitter abound—nobody wants a same-dress scenario, after all. But we're here to tell you that there are so many dresses to choose from that you can't fail to find something you'll love. There are so many, in fact, that the decision-making moment can be hard to pin down, which is not ideal if you're attending a wedding, birthday or a fancy festive soirée.
Ingrid knows the power of an amazing party dress.
Finding the Perfect Party Dress:
1. Your needs to look incredible and memorable but not so OTT that you feel you cannot wear it ever again.
2. If you're a Brit, you'll no doubt want your party dresses to hold some double-duty potential; there are many pieces here that you can layer up for colder-weather look.
3. Your diary is crazy busy, and you don't have time to go to every single store in the world to find the perfect frock.
