Best Summer Party Dresses

For the past week, the Panther has been consumed in summer theme party planning.  There is so much to think about:  the guest list, invitations, food, drinks, decor... and what to wear! 

One of my favorite places to shop for dresses is online at modcloth.com.  Modcloth has literally thousands of dresses to choose from.  They are mostly vintage inspired and by independent designers, don't cost an arm and a leg, and most importantly, they're CUTE!!!  The dresses are so fun that you can wear them for so much more than just a summer theme party.

Here are some of our favorites for different themes.

Trader Vic's Party:  How cute are these summery dresses with vintage lines.  Perfect for a Trader Vic's party!

"Too Much Fun Dress"
$79.99


"Sippin' Smoothies Dress"
$57.99

Arabian Nights Party:  Put a spin on the tradional Burqas worn by Arab women and try something like this cute "monorail maven" dress at modcloth.  The loose fit and long length are reminiscent of a Burqa but the stripes and styling are fun and stylish, especially when paired with some strappy sandals and oversized earrings.

"Monorail Maven Dress"
$52.99

Summer Fiesta:  This is your chance to dress fun and flirty.  Think of the senoritas featured on vintage Mexican cinema posters.

"Paradise Pier Dress"
$54.99


"Bosc in the Glory Dress"
$64.99

Bollywood Party:  Bollywood is all about color and pattern.  If you cannot find a real sari, try one of these lovely dresses.

"I Ingenue It! Dress"
$72.99


"Covered Market Dress"
$49.99

All of these dresses are cute and fun but if you want something that is not quite as themed try the aptly named "Next Versatile Dress" by modcloth.  The simple lines of this dress make it appropriate for any and all of the above themes.  Change the look of this little number with jewelry, scarves, hats, and shoes.

Have fun picking out your party dress.  Get more inspiration at mocloth's blog, "Life In Style" at http://www.blog.modcloth.com/ or visit modcloth's founder's personal page on chictopia:  www.chictopia.com/SusanGKoger

Happy shopping!
