‘Tis the season ladies….Evening soirees, fundraisers, cocktails at 8 pm, dinner at 10 pm, who knows what by midnight? These fabulous frocks are wondrously beautiful and, like a loyal old friend, will see you through well past the end of party season.

So fret not. Kick up your heels and your heart and steal away with a magnum of joy, if only for one special night.

From Alice + Olivia, we have the Bustier satin dress in black. This little black dress is a strapless statement piece with an incredible sculpted bottom that flirts with you from afar. It practically screams, “Where’s the after party?!” Available at Net-A-Porter, $525.

Rebecca Taylor’s Metallic Party Dress soaks up city life and its social whirl with a vigor. Turquoise and gold jacquard fabric with an oversized bow at the bust and pleated detail in the body creates a look that is simply stunning and holiday perfect. Available at Net-A-Porter, $350.

Milly’s Petal Cocktail Dress conjurs images of a gorgeous, lonely girl strolling along Fifth Avenue the morning after, sipping coffee and peering into another world, compliments of Tiffany & Co. Silk chiffon with unfinished petal details blooming at its base, this halter-neck LBD is utterly delightful. And, of course, a splurge! Available at Net-A-Porter, $695.

The Lele silk chiffon strapless dress by Diane von Furstenberg is for the gal who doesn’t need a lot of embellishment or whimsy to her evening attire, just chic, chic, chic! This teal chiffon fitted dress with a shimmer of gold is made all the more suggestive with a trace of black lace peeking out from below the hem.

And ladies, note bene: ruching is indeed your friend. Not only is it used to stunning effect with this dress, it also acts as a great concealer. Don’t believe me? Try something on with this detail and you’ll see what I mean. This little number has just a touch of spandex for a little give and maximum comfort.

The heads will turn with envy and amazement as you take the evening for all it is worth. Because let’s face it, if you’re donning this dress tonight, you’ve got bigger and better things on your mind than appearances. $385, available at Net-A-Porter.

Milly does it again with a knock out LBD that is stunning and ultra-feminine. The Elizabeth dress gives a nod to haute couture with its oversized ruffles lined in pink satin, not to mention its daring neckline. Pink martinis, anyone? $365, available at Net-A-Porter.

Why, I can already hear the corks popping….
