The holidays are fast approaching, which means it's time to start hunting for a cute party dress to get you through those holiday cocktail gatherings. So this week, I'm looking at the hottest party-dress trends, so that you can find the frock that's perfect for you. Today's installment: empire-waist dresses, which strike an ideal balance between playfully retro and classically elegant. (To read yesterday's installment on tuxedo-inspired dresses, click here.)

I want to put on the McQueen dress and spin around and around and around and around and around and around and around and...
1I like the MJ and the Ya-Ya. The Notte by Marchesa is lovely, too, but I don't think I could pull that one off.
2Love empire waists... love, love, LOVE the McQueen. Too bad that's like in my wildest dreams.
