Stunning Party Dresses for your Next Get Together

In many ways, getting out of the house and socializing is as important to your health as cutting down on fatty foods or exercising regularly. Sure, you may have your random individuals who are perfectly happy to live in a cabin alone in the woods for their entire life, but they make up the exception, not the rule.

For the rest of us, interacting with other human beings is as important to our mental health as eating a lot of fruits and vegetables is for the health of our bodies. Going out, meeting new people and laughing with old friends not only makes a normal day even better; it can turn a bad day around completely.

But beyond the theoretical pleasures of socialization, it is also just plain fun to get dressed up and go to a party. So the next time you are heading out for an exciting get together, keep these stunning party dresses in mind.

Ruched Jersey Dress with Keyhole Detail

Sometimes a wedding calls for the bride to wear a slightly less formal and more relaxed dress. If you and your husband-to-be decide to have your ceremony in the back yard of a relative's house on a hot summer day, a traditional wedding gown with a long chapel train might be going a little overboard.

This gorgeous jersey dress is perfect for a festive sunny wedding. On top of the Ivory color option, however, you can also get the dress in either Navy or Red. This makes it perfect for not just the bride, but the bridesmaids as well. Even if you aren't in a wedding party, this dress is great for just attending as a guest.

The bodice has a high neck and features a keyhole cutout. At the ruched empire waist, you can also find intricate beading. Interlocking twist yarn fabric helps the knee-length skirt to flow and drape beautifully.

Strapless All Over Lace Dress with Pleating Detail

As the weather begins to slowly heat up, party season also begins to rev into full swing. The idea that a "party season" even exists for many businesses, organizations and clubs at first sounds a bit ridiculous. But when you think about it, it actually makes sense.

When your book club wants to have a once-a-year blowout bash, why have it when you can't even step outside without a coat on? Wouldn't it be more fun to talk about "Eleven Kinds of Loneliness" while hanging by a swimming pool or standing around a grill?

This all over lace dress is ideal for catching a tan on a steamy summer day. The strapless sweetheart neckline is great for getting a little sun on your shoulders. It has pleating details on the bodice and on the satin sash. The designers also accented the sash with a delightful 3D flower. Make the most of a festive summer fling with this fun and feminine dress.

Short Stretch Satin Dress with Ruffle Detail

For normal days around the office, many high-powered female businesswomen go for the straightforward style of a classic pants suit. When a work party comes around, however, it is perfectly acceptable to spice things up a little bit. That doesn't mean you should show up in your favorite summer dress, but you also don't want to appear too stuffy.

This sleek satin dress is great for work parties or fundraising events. The bodice is sleeveless and has a trendy ruffle detail accenting the neckline. Satin fabric forms a slimming silhouette and also provides exceptional comfort.

You can find this dress in a simple Rose color option. This makes it ideal for any occasion or season of the year. You can wear it again and again, looking fabulous every single time.

Iridescent Shantung Ball Gown with Jewel Neckline

Elegant affairs come around only once in a great while for most people. So when you are lucky enough to be invited to a classy event, you want to make sure you look the part.

This gorgeous ball gown is absolutely perfect for hitting up a high-class event and looking your very best. The neckline shines with sparkling jewels along the halter. This gives it a luxurious appeal that leads down into the form fitting upper.

From there, the dress descends to the amazing ball gown skirt. The skirt has pick-ups all over it to add dynamic and flowing accents. The shantung fabric is iridescent, allowing it to shimmer and shine in just about any light. It comes in a deep purple color that is as original as your personality.

When a get together of any size comes around, it is always more fun to go out and get a new dress than it is to just pick any old one out of the closet. It helps to make even the smallest occasion feel extra special. Any of these gorgeous dresses are sure to help you make the most of your next get together.
