Pencil Dress
This lace sheath is slightly stretchy, with a soft cowl neck and gentle ruching at the waist. Translation: It'll flatter all your curves without displaying your cleavage or any post-dinner tummy expansion. Plus, the fabric contains a soft sparkle that will glimmer as you walk.

Among the (many!) challenges of the office holiday party is finding a dress that's both fun and appropriate for hanging out with the boss. This colorful tunic, with its three-quarter-length sleeves and modest but not dowdy neckline and skirt length, will get the job done—and remind your supervisor that you do too.
