So the best thing to do is check with those who are throwing the party, and find out what they are wearing or expect their female guests to wear because there are different types of dresses. Sometimes a fancy cocktail dress will work, and that is usually average to shorter length. The other choice is a long gown which is what bridesmaids wear at a wedding that is very formal, with guys wearing tuxes. But in case they are going away from what the older crowd like me would do, you may want to check if they are doing a themed event like dressing in Hawaiian attire or something else. In an age where females have grown up wearing pants all their lives because it's more practical, there are women who may not have a single dress in their closet. So If you are wondering what style of dress to wear, look for a favorite color, one that compliments your skin, or you can look for something darker, even black because this is a winter event and you dont see many people wearing any summery bright colors or pastels in winter. If you look at the holiday ads in the news paper or online for dresses for New Years, you will often see bold dark jewel tones, and something with a sparkle in it. I am talking of Red, Silver, Gold, dark green, royal blue or royal purple. You have to like the cut, how it makes you look, brings out your best features. It may be a beautiful dress but not right on you. Also, price shouldn't count. When I found the gown to wear to a daughters summer wedding, I found it on a rack of leftover long prom dresses that were on sale, a beautiful slinky aqua gown. At the register, it rang up as even cheaper since there was a discount on the already existing discount and the dress I wore at daughters wedding was around 30 dollars, totally unheard of cost. But I still looked terrific in it. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
