Time to twirl
Party dresses this season are designed to dance.
Long gowns are fitted through the bodice and flair into full skirt, often waltz length. The shorter shapelier dress has a Latin American look — tiers and ruffles, ready to rumba.
Lower necklines are back in vogue, these focus attention on the hair, neck and arms calling for bows, baubles and long gloves. Keep the neckline uncluttered for elegance but wear dramatic drop earrings, and sweep hair back into a velvet or satin ribbon or bow.
Heels are high with shorter skirts and optional high or flat party pumps with longer lengths. Sheer tights, and smooth make-up complete the look of a sophisticated season.
