High Fashion Average Woman

Around this time of year, every magazine says, “of course you have to have that perfect cocktail dress.”   And every year I wonder “what the heck constitutes a cocktail dress?”   It’s not just wondering what makes a cocktail dress, but where can I find one that suits my body as well as my particular taste (which sometimes has nothing to do with what’s at the mall.)   That’s when I discovered MissesDressy.com’s cocktail dresses*.

When I explored the site, I was amazed by the selection!  Not to mention that I got a quick education on the varieties

my personal favorite from Tadash Shoji collection–in that perfect Pantone Color 17-5641 for 2013!

of cocktail dresses.  Everything from short-short, low back, and jewel-encrusted to the simple “little black dress.”   Dresses by some of the biggest designers, including Tadashi Shoji, who designed the dress Octavia Spencer wore to the 2012 Oscars (you can even purchase a version of it on the site) and Jovani, whose dresses are worn by Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, and other hot, young celebs.   Each dress page features a size chart unique to that designer, and size conversion charts for both U.K. and European sizing.  You’ll be surprised the size ranges for some of the designers. There’s a video on each page as well, that demonstrates exactly how to take your measurements–always a good thing if you’re going to order online.

So, how do you know that you’re getting the right dress from the designer and not a knockoff?   On each page, you will see this gold symbol that says “Authorized Dealer.”  Click on the seal and you will find out how MissesDressy.com became a genuine Authorized Dealer for their incredible collection.
