80s Party Dresses

Add a Dash of Retro to Your Holiday Bash Fashion

If your seeking the perfect party dress this season then look no further. Think high shoulders, low cuts and maybe even a little bling! A fitted black mini with broad shoulders will be a show stopper at any event this winter.

With silhouettes of the 1980s party scene flooding the runways, women can spice up the LBD with sequins, belts and sky high heels. Balmain, Isabel Marant, Marc Jacobs and Miss Sixty have all mastered this look for Fall 2009, and if the mini dress does not appeal to you, try a great pant suit with the same detailing.
