With the holiday party season just around the corner I am reminded of a minor incident from the summer. I attended a wedding where I was wearing the exact same dress as the bride’s tall and leggy 20-year-old cousin. It looked better on her. Want to avoid showing up at a holiday party wearing the exact same dress as someone else? Looking for a dress that screams WOW? Check out some of my favourite handmade holiday party dresses!
Emmelle African Lace Strapless Dress by IslaNewYork
This fun and feminine dress inspired this “Pretty Party Dresses” post. I love this dress because it is so versatile. You can dress it up or dress it down. It is actually two pieces that can be worn separate or together. Finally, it can be worn in the summer with sandals or in the winter layered with a cardigan and tights.

Autumn Blossom Couture Dress by Nostalgia
I love the floral detail on this strapless dress and the fact that you can choose from an extensive set of colours. Paired with a cardigan and some tights it makes a great party dress even in the cold winter months.

Black Lacquer Lady Little Balck Asymetric Wiggle Dress by makemeadress
This dress is elegant and timeless, a perfect little black dress. To me this dress says New Years Eve. Since the neckline is so gorgeous I think you could get away with no jewelery.

I love this dress for a couple of reasons. First, gold is a classic holiday colour. Second, the shape is incredibly flattering. Finally, I love finding a dress that I can wear a real bra with!

Sweetheart Wrap Dress by Emilykatz
Two Words: Sexy Librarian. I love that it can be worn closed up with a bow or as a dramatic plunge neckline. Plus, silk is my favourite fabric. The dress looks so soft, light and comfortable. Another great versatile dress!
