I don't do a lot of going OUT out and so it's really only this time of year that I think about party dresses. After my first early evening meltdown in front of my wardrobe (full of nothing to wear) of the year, I decided I need to make an effort to find at least one standby outfit for the coming season. The biggest issue when finding the dress is identifying when you'll wear it and how you want to feel. Number one on my list is comfortable because chances are I'll be sitting, probably eating, definitely drinking.. I'm just not here for having to hold in my tummy to have a good time.With that in mind, I've put together 12 dresses from ASOS for those of you shopping the sales this weekend and in need of some inspiration.. categorised by the vibe/occasion. Everything is 20% off with the code HELLO20First up are those  dresses reserved for those occasions where dinner will likely be served. I don't know about you but I need a little wiggle room around my middle if I'm eating which takes tailoring and tight waistbands off the table.Curve Midi Dress - £38 / Pleated Velvet Cold Shoulder Dress - £45 / Beaded Kimono Dress £65 / Velvet Embroidered Skater Dress  - £65Next is the dancing!
