Par-Tayyyy!!

Tis the season for the party dress! Whether conservative for the annual office party, full-on glamour, sexy and daring and anything in between, there are many, many looks from which to choose. for myself, I'm in a tulle and/or lace (Oscar de la Renta's is one example) mood this year... I love the idea of a BIG BILLOWY skirt!

I've been obsessed with a full skirt, since first seeing this picture of Jessica alba. What a stunning and classy look!

To that skirt, I would add tulle or crinoline underneath for a more full look. While I haven't found just the right one, I've featured some dresses which caught my eye, and offer great styling ideas for whatever the party.
