Party Dresses

Party dresses, some dramatic and bold, some with exotic or tribal prints, others soft and sexy, but not too revealing!

Summer 2009 promises the possibility of bold femininity, yet with flattering lines that often combine sleek and sexy with comfort.

It has to be said that although there is a great deal of re-inventing the wheel this season, or at the very creatively enhancing previous looks and styles, there is also a sense of feminine freedom in the designs.

Sheer see through fabrics are also in with the permission to show off your figure, but in a soft, feminine way.

The trends are towards bold, sexy femininity but not vulgarity.

The white party dress has been back in since springtime, and it is a refreshing alternative but of course not a replacement to the little black dress.

White can show style, elegance, sexiness and purity all at the same time in the right dress design. A definite must have for your wardrobe, if you are someone who feels comfortable in white.

Simple lines in dresses follow the female silhouette flatteringly, while there are a lot of fun ethnic and tribal prints to choose from, as well as animal print fabrics.

Asymmetric lines are in with single-shouldered dresses being especially big this season.

Really bright colours and colour blocking are central to summer 2009.

Ruffles and crumpled fabric can be seen across designers such as Prada, Burberry, Lanvin, Bottega Veneta, which travel perfectly onto the high street and the online high street!

The Eighties are also back, and designer Marc Jacobs collection which showed in Paris, March 2009, looks to fashion icon Molly Ringwald, with a kind of “Pretty in Pink” theme.
