Party Dresses That Shine

The right party dress makes a statement. American Threads has all the hot dresses you need for any get-together or a night out with friends! From eye-catching statement dresses and body-shaping mini party dresses to elegant cocktail dresses and playful princess-style designs, you'll find the perfect outfit for every occasion.

How to Find the Perfect Party Dress

Choosing a dress for a party can be challenging, but American Threads has made it easy for you by laying out some party dress styling tips:

Compliment your body type and feel confident. No matter your shape or size, there is a stylish and trendy party dress that looks so good on you!
Stay on theme. If it is a disco themed party, make sure you pick a groovy little number that is on theme with the rest of the party!
Stick to the dress code. If there is a dress code for a school dance, make sure you stick to your school’s guidelines and pick something that is appropriate to wear. If the party invitation you receive says semi-formal or cocktail attire, you want to find a dress that would be up to standard for that occasion.
Pick the right color. Sometimes the party calls for a LBD (little black dress) or white dress, but if you have the option for color, pick one that complements your skin tone and hair color. For those with a lighter skin tone, earth tones may be best. For those with a medium to dark skin tone, jewel tones will really make you pop!
Dress for the right season. If you are shopping for a holiday style, you will want a cute party dress that might have sleeves, is velvet or has sequins. If you are heading to a summer soiree, you will want styles that compliment the tan and the heat, like backless, strapless and flowy!
Be bold. Parties are the perfect opportunity to try new styles and have fun with your fashion! Sometimes that means you may only wear the look once, but our affordable dress prices make every purchase worth it.

Short White Party Dresses: The Heartbeat of Any Party

When the music sways and the lights shimmer, nothing beats the pure, electrifying elegance of a short white party dress. It's the quintessential go-to for an unforgettable night out, radiating vibrancy and style. Whether it's a casual get together or a lavish cocktail event, a white dress can truly steal the show.

Choosing the Right Short White Party Dress for Your Body Type and Style

Finding the perfect dress is all about embracing your body and flaunting your style. Consider an A-line dress for a universally flattering look or a bodycon number to showcase those curves. For those with a petite frame, a mini dress can elongate the legs, while an empire waist style can highlight the slimmest part of your torso for a graceful silhouette.

Stay on the cusp of high fashion with the freshest trends. From sultry off-the-shoulder cuts to playful skater skirts and chic sheer panels, short white dresses come in a variety of designs that cater to every fashionista’s taste. Don't forget to look out for the charming details like lace embellishments, ruffles, and cut-outs that add a special touch to your ensemble.

How to Perfectly Mix and Match Accessories with Your Short White Party Dress

The beauty of a white dress lies in its versatility. Accessorizing gives you the chance to express yourself and add pops of color or hints of sophistication. Bold statement jewelry, strappy heels, or even a dazzling clutch can transform your look from simple to stunning. Remember, the key is balance; let the dress be your canvas as you curate your perfect party outfit.

Statement Necklaces: A bold piece can serve as the centerpiece of your look.
Colorful Heels: Add a splash of color or go metallic for a bit of glam.
Clutch Bags: Choose one that complements your dress and fits all your essentials.
Bangles and Bracelets: Stack them up for a trendy, playful vibe.
Earrings: From hoops to drops, earrings frame your face and complete your look.

Dressed For the Party From Head to Toe: Styling Your Party Dress

Your party dress should definitely be the star of the show, but there are certain elements that go into the look besides just the killer ‘fit. When styling for any party, you want to make sure the accessories complement your dress type.

Whether wearing a little black dress, bodycon or a cute little mini, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of hoops.
If you are wearing something a little more flouncy or flowy, like a fit & flare dress or maxi, your best combo will be a dainty necklace.
Every girl needs something to put her makeup, phone and cards in when dancing away– American Threads has the perfect bags to help complete your look and keep your things close by.
You also can’t forget about the shoes. If you’ll be on your feet all night, you may want to pick a chunky block heel or a smaller heel. If you know you’ll be able to lounge a bit at the party, go for a trendy pump!
