In need of a Cocktail Dress
Permalink Closed

My company is having a huge party b/c the project we have been working on for the past 1 1/2 years is finally complete!  I am looking for a cute cocktail dress for the event.  Ideally, I would like to find something that I can wear more than once and under $300.  Any ideas?

Did you have a specific color/style in mind?

Not really.....but keep in mind that my company is very conservative, so I guess dark colors would be ideal.  I just can't seem to find something that is "great".


I kinda like this one, but I think it is a little too casual:



maybe this?



this is perhaps too sexy:

I love the maxstudio holiday line. They are pretty conservative in cut but oh so chic!

I do love this dress:



But I agree that it might not be work-function appropriate.  How 'bout one of these:


watercolor dress$158printed party dress$148jubilee tank dress$160


style #1044250 available sizes: M $50style #1045524 available sizes: P M $70


style #1049065 available sizes: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 $80style #1045585 available sizes: 4 $80


$168$148

$148

 


$68
A shrug like this could also work to make an otherwise unusable dress work-appropriate.

I know I love Max Studio. If they don't have your size online try their retail stores. I know some macy's stores carry the brand too. Good luck!

If your BCBG dress was a 6, then a 6 in Max Studio should be fine.
