What you could do is get a number of party dresses that can be worn to similar occasions. For instance, your wrap dress can be worn to a late afternoon barbeque party with your date and his family, as well as to a nice dinner party at a fancy restaurant. This way, you end up spending a lot less! But you can't apply this trick everywhere. So don't make an attempt to pull off a t-shirt dress with green cowboy boot with an engagement get together! What you need are some fundamental gowns which you can outfit up or down in line with the situation. A sheath dress is perfect for your couple's party and at the same time, can be worn to the bridal shower party you are invited to next moth!
Pick different fabrics for different gowns so as to ensure you have party dresses that are suitable for the occasion as well as the weather. A knit wool dress can be great for an afternoon party in winter but it is pretty useless for the summer poolside bash! These dresses are available in all kinds of fabrics- so just take your pick. Check out the design and style, minimize and match of the dress as well before you make up your mind. Otherwise you will only regret it later!

And the most important thing to remember while buying pretty much anything is of course the budget! Yes, the wisest thing to do before a shopping trip is to have a fair idea of how much you can spare for a couple of party dresses. While there are quite a few cheap options available, you shouldn't always take up the least expensive one. Choose one of good quality that is likely to serve you for some time. The prices for good dresses begin upwards of $ 60 while some extremely exclusive and dear ones can cost over one grand!
