In the run-up to the event season (read: a very long list of reasons to leave the house), we’re all rifling through our wardrobes to look for ~the one~. By that, we mean the ultimate party dresses (what were you thinkin’, silly?)
If you’re one of us and stuck amid a pile of clothes and have nothing good to wear, sit back and relax cause your wing-women (aka Cosmo ME) have found you some *gorg* party dresses to wear. Whether you’re looking to go all out this year or on the lookout for a super-luxe-looking dress (which will actually not burn your wallet), we’ve got it all for you:
