Where to Find a Sexy Christmas Party Dress Online

With Christmas just around the corner, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a hard time passing up some of the fabulous fashions seen while dong my gift shopping. Thankfully, holiday parties give us a good excuse to snag a new cocktail dress for ourselves and not feel guilty afterwards. At the same time, the shops this year are going all out with a variety of sexy Christmas party dresses. Read on for a rundown of where to find this season's hottest styles.

No designer does the mixture of sexy, funky and flirty better than Betsey Johnson. Usually her collection isn't the first I'd think of looking for a sexy Christmas party dress, but this year she has several choices in that category. Her Embriodered Charmuese Slip Dress is a shiny spaghetti strap dress in a deep shade of red, and covered with tiny blue embroidered flowers. There's also the Romantic Silk Velvet dress, which would be perfect because velvet is a fabulous fabric for the season, and the slightly more down to earth Pinwheel Organza dress. This little black dress is coy and girlish with it's sash around the waist, yet sexy at the same time with it's short cut and shoulder bearing tube top. All three sexy Christmas dresses range from $314 to $485 and can be found on BetseyJohnson.com.

For something more affordable, but not lacking in style, Target.com is the perfect place to start. This season, the Silk Faille dress is a standout part of the Isaac Mizrahi collection. This little black tank dress is fitted throughout the bodice, to about the mid thigh, and flairs out into two a-line layers of slightly ruffled fabric. I'd have to say this sexy Christmas dress has some amazing details for $44.99 (and right now it's on sale for $35!). And then there's the brand new collection from high end designer Behnaz Serapfour. Behnaz has been a staple on the New York runway for years now, and many fashion fiends were pleased to learn she'd be doing a limited time collection for Target's Go International program. This resulted in several fabulous Christmas party dresses. Her A-List Princess and Champagne Glamour dresses are both short and sassy tube dresses great details like lace insets and bows at the waist. Both are currently selling for $44.99.

Instead of the usual cocktail dress, try the ultimate sexy dress of the moment: a sweater dress. ShopBop.com has the $315 Cera Curve dress by Theory; this one is a short turtleneck with big, poofy ¾ sleeves that only add to the glamour. And even more sexy is the Poet Sleeve Sweater Dress for $88 on ArdenB.com. This fitted, knee length and off the shoulder dress is sure to make a statement. To make these sexy Christmas dresses even more festive, be sure to add a low slung gold belt and a bright, layered necklace.

With all these great choices coming from boutiques and discount retailers, we can't forget to shop the department stores! It might take a bit longer to wade through their racks, but they definitely have some very sexy Christmas dresses. SaksFifthAvenue.com has this simple yet effective Mula Wool Jersey Dress by Diane Von Furstenburg, currently on sale for $195. It has a deep V with rouching on the shoulders and at the side, and comes in your choice of white, black, or my favorite, red. Nordstrom.com has it's own collection of great choices, like grey Pleated Iridescent Silk Chiffon Baby Doll Dress by ECI that has an adorably flowy skirt. There's also the Anne Klein Lace Bodice Taffeta Party Dress which is extremely unique looking, with lace covering the bust and an empire style skirt done in a copper toned iridescent fabric. Both dresses fall right under $200 in price. For me, the most impressive dress in their collection happens to be the sexiest, and unfortunately the most expensive of the three. It's the $330 Nicole Miller Stretch Satin Slip dress. This body conscious dress will hug your curves perfectly, but the rouching details along the front make it a tiny bit forgiving. This dress comes in two of the most festive colors of the season: silver and gold.

That's almost more sexy Christmas dresses than I can handle, and it will be terribly hard to choose! But in the end there are so many choices to create an eye catching look for a holiday party this year, and I can't complain about that!
