Cocktail Dress Eye Candy

**Edited due to failure to check for correct size in stock! These dresses are on sale.**

It's partyl dress time!

Angie has suggested I go the cocktail dress route for my husband's holiday office party. Here are the frocks I'm considering:

I have not had the chance to try any one yet - but they seem right for my figure (I recently posted a full body shot on the boards for reference). I may have to order them, as getting to Nordstrom's in the near future seems like a distant dream. I'm good for ordering 2-3 of them, given their sale prices (as long as I can return them?) So I'd love to hear your top three choices! :)

I'm also trying to stay away from black, but would not be averse, as long as I could wear a statement necklace with it.

** Oh, and if I can keep the price under $100-ish, that would be great, especially if it is obviously an evening look, and not something I can dress down for church, etc.

My top 3 choices are

Dress #1
Dress #1
Dress #1

LOL! That is a hot little number! Love the color too!

ditto on #1! And #4 is lovely with an even prettier price for the regular size :) - love the pleated detail.

Dresses that cut right above the knee seem more figure-flattering for any body type :)

ALL pretty!

But my faves are
Adrianna Pappell Flutter sleeve - sophisticated
Nicole Miller sleeveless - sassy!
Maggy London print - re-wearable

Looking forward to the fashion show if you get any to try!

My favorite is #4. GREAT price and seems really appropriate for a holiday office party! #3 is lovely too. Love the graphic print.

I like #1 but am not sure if it's right for the occasion.

I really like number 2 and number 4. I think they will be flattering on any body type and they are quite classic. Lots of ways to style it too!

*slaps forehead* - might have been good for me to check sizing before posting all those links! Unless they have it in the store, #1 is out...I need a sm (4-6) - so #4 is still in...silver/black...

How do people feel about this one? http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....rchresults

That one is just as nice as the fuchsia one! My new favorite since you can't get the other.

I like the red asymmetrical jersey dress best (last one on your post at #6). I am in a vintage mood! I think bandage dresses are tricky and I guess I’m the only one who does not prefer #1.

I like #5 next!

Pretty! I love #4 and #6- they both seem more festive and memorable to me. (I am new by the way, hope you don't mind me chiming in!)

I vote 3 or 6, bandage dresses are so fashionable I think they will date quite quickly, therefore I'm discounting those dresses.

I agree with Angie, I am really digging the last dress. The red is gorgeous and I like the flowy hem.

There is nothing like a red dress! Do we get to see some of these on you?
