Decipher the code
If you have no idea about the terms written on invitations and looking your best on the Christmas evening dress, you're lucky to get the following guidelines which definitely help you out.

Casual
If you want to add some Christmas seasonal touch to your wardrobe, search for dress with snowflakes, snowmen, bells or angels. Anyway, it never goes wrong with a bit of conservative when picking Christmas casual evening dress.

Informal
An informal Christmas party requires guests to wear short dresses. Wear your little black dress and complement it with a red or green jacket as festive accents. Flatter yourself with glittering gold jewelry to give a Christmas look.

Formal
A formal Christmas party calls for floor length dresses. Make yourself a Christmas party queen with these traditional colors: red, green, silver, gold or be wild with jewel-tone colors. For a formal dinner, the strategy is a ball gown in satin or organza with a faux fur bolero or a velvet shawl.

Creative
Classy pantsuits or cocktail dresses with paillettes are ideal for a creative Christmas party. Complement your pantsuits with exaggerated eardrops and shiny stilettos for a look which is sure to turn heads in the hall.

Fabrics
Winter is a good season for you to show off your luxury festive look. Fabrics like satin, duchess satin, tulle, chiffon, or silk add a subtle sheen to Christmas evening dresses. If you want some elegant and classy look, then organza, velvet, velour, brocade and lame are your favorite fabrics.

Seasonal color tips
If may be the most important festival in a year. Why not indulge yourself with a bold colored evening dress? Pull out a red or burgundy dress dazzling with numerous rhinestones or sequins. If red doesn't fit you well, you still have green, gold, silver, blue or purple to dress you up.
