Holiday party season is the one time of year to wear velvet, satin and sequins without explaining yourself. Here are party dresses under $100 today, cheapest first, at today's prices.
A quick guide to what's here. Velvet is the warmest of the three and the most forgiving, made for a winter party. Satin catches the light; in a midi length it dresses up, and with a sweater over it, it dresses down. Sequins are for the party where you want to be seen. A slip dress is the most useful: put a blazer or a cardigan over it and it goes from the office party to dinner after.

Before you buy
- Check if it's final sale. Party dresses on sale often are, so be surer of the size than usual.
- Order early. It leaves time for an exchange, and the popular sizes go first.
- Think about the shoes and the coat. A maxi needs a long coat over it on a cold night; a mini works with a short one.
- Trust review counts over stars. A rating from dozens of shoppers tells you more than a perfect score from a few.
