When the invitation says cocktail attire and the night is all candlelight and clinking glasses, this is the dress you reach for. In emerald and red florals, you'll feel effortlessly beautiful, the kind of polished that turns heads the moment you walk into the room. Floaty chiffon and flutter sleeves move with you from the first toast to the last song, while the fully smocked bodice and elastic waist keep you comfortable through a long dinner, and a square neckline with a ruffled hem adds a soft, feminine finish. Wear it to the company holiday party, a dressed-up dinner downtown, or a New Year's Eve celebration that lasts well past midnight. Details:
