This is the first of two parts about what to wear to the many parties this season and the balls on New Year's Eve. We begin with party dresses.

It is definitely the season for celebration and partying and, for this reason, there is always an excuse to get glamorous. From cocktail receptions to parties, there is something to do every night; all you have to do is find the perfect look for the occasion.

Dresses are, in most cases, a woman's first choice for many events, simply because of their feminine appeal. Available in a variety of styles, lengths and colours, there are dresses to suit different tastes and to complement the various body shapes and sizes of women.

This week, Flair has selected some of the trendiest dresses for the season from fashion boutiques in the Corporate Area and, from this collection, you just might find your style!
