The Party Dresses You Need This Summer

It may well be hailing as I write this post but Spring has finally sprung and I can practically smell Summer peeking around the corner. Summer tends to be filled with garden parties, weddings, hen parties, BBQs, Christenings, Baby Showers etc etc etc… For these occasions you will want the perfect outfit. With these three handpicked dresses you will be all set for the whole season. These are the party dresses you need this summer.

GARDEN PARTY

This Silvian Heach lace dress is perfect for the Queens garden party. If, like mine, your invitation was lost in the post then this dress will have to suffice with a regular garden party. The only place I would suggest you don’t wear this dress to is someones wedding! However if you are the bride and want a more affordable and modern take on a wedding dress then this is the perfect option. If you are American and have the rehearsal dinner before then this dress would be perfect for you.

BABY SHOWER

This embroidery dress is such a simple and easy to wear dress. Zipping down to your hips at the back it is one of those perfect dresses that you can step into. In fact all three of these dresses are like this. I hate a dress that you have to struggle to get into and pull over your head, messing up your make up and hair in the process. I have styled this dress with an old belt that I think is from Accessorize to accentuate my waist. To wear this dress to lots of different occasions and still get away with it in front of the Facebook paps you can style it with different sized belts. The soft fabric makes this dress really comfortable and stretchy and one that will allow you to eat until your hearts content.

WEDDING GUEST

This blue jacquard dress is gorgeous. It is really eye catching and is the perfect injection of colour that you need to add to an other ways black wardrobe…yet that’s my wardrobe. The dress is quite dressy but has very well hidden pockets. I LOVE pockets in a dress to either pop your phone in if you don’t want to carry a bag or to simply have something to do with your hands. [This being said I really disagree with pockets in a wedding dress. Back when I was searching for a wedding dress I came across a lot that had pockets in, even though they may be handy I actually think this could ruin your beautiful wedding photos.] I love how this dress is so structured on the bodice but pops out around the hips. I honestly believe this shape is incredibly flattering for skinny, buxom and the in between women. The only problem with a structured bodice is that it may or may not be perfect for your bust shape. Make sure you try this dress on in the shop. For me as a small busted gal it fitted nicely but definitely had a little bit of room for a cup size or two bigger than my own.

What do you think of my dress picks for the Summer party season? Are there any here that you would wear? Which is your favourite?
