I need some help... I'm going to a very trendy place for NY'07 with a very handsome guy (woohooo!!) and so naturally, I'd like to look stunning

I'm considering the following dress from Banana Republic to ring in the New Year... what do you think? Any other suggestions?

Shoes? Accessories? Dress me! Or just post pictures of beautiful party dresses!

tp - I'm not sure that's the right dress for the event. Maybe it's the way she's standing, but it looks like it flows out too much from the empire waist - looking a bit maternity-ish. I've seen pics of you and from what I recall you have a great figure. If I were you, I'd go with something that shows that off a bit more. You specifically said "trendy" about the place, and that dress doesn't strike me as having much "wow" factor. JMO.

Thanks XOK!

I was kinda sorta thinking the same thing when I saw the dress in person and tried it on.

I NEED to look WOW because WOW is my date hot! haha

Maybe I'm being way too judgemental on myself, but I see so many pretty dresses and they end up looking prettier on the hanger

I had assumed NY party would be shishi. (However that's spelled.) Based on what Kathy said I like these two from Banana.

I saw the top one in person at Banana Republic last night. It's made out of a weird corduroy/velvet fabric and looks pretty bad up close.

J Crew is always my first choice for party dresses. Trendy, but not too trendy.

So I just realized this is a New Year's Party. I read the orignal post as a New York New Year's Eve Party!

I'm partial to this one... It's cute in the picture, at least!
