Yours is perfect for dressing up since the cut is a little sexy and not boxy like some. Add sparkly jewelry and heels and I think you're set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476700 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:57:33 +0000 Girl X 476700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! As already stated, accessories (and sexy shoes) will make this uber glam. Go sparkly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476647 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:43:24 +0000 chewyspaghetti 476647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For sure- just bling it up a little bit with accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476646 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:42:31 +0000 Sveta 476646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From the title I expetcted to see a bulky cable knit sweater dress and though - no way. However this one is perfect. I think it should work beautifully. Just add great shoes, clutch and some bling and you are all set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476627 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:16:38 +0000 Kim 476627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A sparkly wrap or blazer (satin, silk, or sequinned) come to mind to bring it up a notch...And has the added bonuses of probably fitting you after any baby weight has come off too as well as being able to "mix and match" your new sparkly piece with your current wardrobe for more fun effects! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476622 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:05:49 +0000 rae 476622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, yes! The fit and style are definitely dressy enough (and the sleeves keep it nicely classy for a work event) - as Parsley said, some sparkle will take it to the Holiday Zone in no time. I can see why it's your go-to dress - looks wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476609 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:48:08 +0000 Parsley 476609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can see of it, I think that dress should be great. The neckline, fit and gathers all make it dressy, and you look stunning in it, by the way!</p> <p>Add some blingy jewelry, a pretty clutch (red, maybe?) , and heels and you're good to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-a-sweater-dress-be-dressed-up-for-a-cocktail-party#post-476595 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 16:34:51 +0000 banananutmuffin 476595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hubby's company Christmas party is coming up soon. I *think* women wear the full gamut: business suits to cocktail dresses. I prefer to be more cocktail dress type, but I've tried a bunch of dresses and nothing really fits my post-baby body right. So I was thinking about relying on my old standard, this sweater dress, which some of you have probably seen before.</p> <p>Can it be dressed up to be more appropriate for the event, or will it look weird to mix this dress with, say, strappy sandals with crystal decorations? Or should I just stick with it as a "casual" dress and wear basic pointy toe pumps? Or should I nix it altogether and keep trying to find a real cocktail dress? </p>
