This is the dress you slip on right before the doorbell starts ringing and the house fills with your favorite people. In magenta velvet she'll feel radiant and ready to host, the kind of confidence that comes from knowing she looks as good as the night feels. The A-line silhouette skims to the knee with a stretch, elastic empire waist that's as comfortable pouring drinks as it is posing for photos, balloon sleeves bring drama to every gesture, and a sweetheart neckline with a tacked bow adds a sweet finishing touch. Side pockets keep her hands free for passing appetizers and topping off glasses. Wear this one the night you open your home for the holiday party. She'll be the warmest color in every room. Details:
