party dresses

Yesterday we wrote about some of our favorite prom dresses under $100 for those girls still searching for their perfect prom look. But, we know many girls already had their prom and are thinking of their next dressy attire event... graduation! So, to help make sure you're ready for your big graduation day, we picked out our favorite graduation dresses under $100. You'll be graduating in style, from your look to your pockets with these dresses! Check them out below.

Peekaboo A Line Dress

White is usually the color of choice when it comes to graduation dresses, and we certainly love Peekaboo A Line Dress style 7263 to get that classic white grad dress look. It's a cute short dress with an open detail in the front. It's perfect not only for graduation, but for Sweet 16s and any other spring or summer parties you might be attending. It's a look that can easily be dressed up or down, so you'll find yourself wearing this one over and over again well past your grad day. This dress makes it under the $100 mark at only $88.

Cold Shoulder Lace Dress

For a more casual look, we love Cold Shoulder Lace Dress style KD7204. This short dress has a cold shoulder cutout and a lace embroidered layer design with crotchet detail at the hemline. You can easily take this dress from day to night with a simple swap of accessories and makeup. Best yet: it's a cool $58.

Elegant Lace Halter Cocktail Dress

This Elegant Lace Cocktail Dress style LD1687 is such a classic, elegant look, yet still so sexy. Whether you're attending graduation, a cocktail party, homecoming, or a holiday or NYE party, this dress is the perfect style. This beautiful short dress features a halter neckline, sheer side cut outs and a scalloped lace hemline.

Lace Please Casual Short Dress

Be cool and casual in the Lace Please Casual Short Dress style 38881281. This is a short chiffon dress with a frayed lace inset, banded waistline, and side zipper. It's a great dress for much more than graduation - the coral color makes it perfect to rock all spring and summer long. This dress used to be $44, but is now on sale for only $17.60, so you really can't go wrong with this choice!

We hope you love the dresses that we picked out, but there are plenty more graduation dresses under $100 on RissyRoos.com if you want to see more. There's also an entire Graduation Dresses section with many more choices. A huge congrats to the 2015 graduating class out there, from high school to college!

A new year always means lots of new events to attend, which gets us excited to not only help all of our Roo Girls find their perfect dresses, but to then get to see them all dressed up at their events! Our most recent dress testimonial comes from Macie Buch and her mom Jennifer Wyers-Buch. Macie recently attended her Majors ball and wore one of our favorite new looks from our Spring 2015 collection: Sherri Hill 32146. Jennifer sent us the below pictures of Macie and said:

"Just thought we'd share a pic with the Rissy Roo's staff. This dress by Sherri Hill was the talk of the Majors Ball in Indianapolis last night. Thank you so much!!"

We thought this picture was too cute! Macie certainly looked flawless in her leopard print Sherri Hill dress! The number she chose is a fun and flirty cocktail dress that features not only the stand-out leopard print full taffeta skirt, but also a shiny, chunky black beaded strapless bodice, hidden side pockets (which you can see in the picture of Macie blow), and a peek-a-boo layer of pink tulle underneath the skirt. It's such a chic look, and Macie showed it off so well!

Check out those so practical hidden pockets! Macie's posing here with her cheerleader friend Danielle Ludlam. They both look so cute in their two-toned dresses.

We loved everything about Macie's look - from her dress (of course), to her loose curls, simple makeup, and statement necklace. It's a perfect (flawless!) look for any semi-formal or formal event... from a Majors Ball, to Prom, or even a Sweet 16. We can definitely see why she was the talk of the night!

Thank you, Jennifer and Macie, for sending in your pictures! We hope you had an amazing time at your ball, and we can't wait to see you dressed up for your next event. Cheer on!

December is officially here, and that means there are plenty of holiday parties to come, from office parties to New Year's Eve! Holiday parties are always super fun, especially because it means dresses are so essential to a perfect holiday wardrobe. While we love the idea of rocking sparkly silver, gold, red, green, and blue dresses for the holidays, there's one look that can't be forgotten because of its simplicity and dependability for any event you may be attending over the next month: little black dresses! So, to help you find a perfect LBD to take you from party to party, here are four of our favorite looks..all under $100!

For a classic and super classy look go with jeweled neck party dress Gracia D15016. The cap sleeves and jeweled neckline makes this an easy dress to take you from day to night. If you want to get away from the classic LBD, but still wear a color appropriate for the holidays, Continue reading →

Thanksgiving is almost here, and that means it's time for family get-togethers and late night parties with friends. So, to make sure you're ready in a perfect outfit, we picked out some of our favorite dresses that will effortlessly take you from a more traditional family event, to a night out with friends. Check out our Thanksgiving dress up ideas below!

You can never go wrong with a little black dress at any event, and this is one LBD that we absolutely love! Style D15016 is a jeweled neck cap sleeved party dress that's such a versatile pick. The cap sleeves make it so easy to wear to a family party, while the dress is just so cute and chick that it can take you anywhere in style! This is a great dress to wear throughout the Holiday season - from a Thanksgiving get-together, to an office holiday party, or even to a New Year's Eve party! For a more stand-out color, this dress also comes in red.
For another cap sleeves look that's all about versatility, go with Scala 48350. This hot little cocktail dress clings closely to curves to produce a look that is second to none. Tiny, twinkling accents wend their way around the dress for a softly glitzy look. It's all topped off by a scooped neckline and short sleeves. We just recommend throwing a cardigan over the dress for your family Thanksgiving dinner, which you can take off when it's time to go out with friends at night! Best yet, this dress is also so perfect for a New Year's Eve party.

For a more traditional look for Thanksgiving, go with Mac Duggal style 1654. It's a stunningly embellished dress with fantastic beading along the v-neckline. From small beads to large stones and hanging beading, this dress offers so much variety, style, and elegance. A gorgeous vine pattern of beaded embellishments flows throughout the dress and on the wide open, sheer sleeves. The charcoal color and leave pattern of this dress reminds us so much of a fall November night!

Do you know what you plan on wearing for Thanksgiving? Leave us a comment and let us know! It's always fun to rock dresses for the Holidays, so have fun dressing up!

Turning 16 is special enough, but turning 16 in the summer can be even sweeter! For those having a festive party to honor this pastime, we put together some Summer Sweet 16 party ideas. Let's face it, many spectacular parties can be held year round, but certain ideas are much better fit for the Summer months due to nicer weather, more time to plan, and not so many conflicts in schedules. Of course, all Summer Sweet 16 party ideas are fabulous, but we figured a little creativity can go a long way, to make your party all the more extraordinary!

Hawaiian Luau or Tropical Theme

Although this party theme can be done any month of the year, we feel the idea tends to be much more "authentic" if it is done outdoors. Depending on the size of your party, we like Continue reading →

Here at RissyRoo's, life is all about dressing up. After all, life is one large collection of little  celebrations all rolled into one! Even though we are always dressing up for something special like homecoming, prom, graduation, weddings and all types of events, sometimes us Roo Girls like to tone it down and dress a little bit more on the casual side! Trust us, we live for sparkle and glam, but we also love to slip into something trendy and casual, especially during the hot summer days and nights! That is why we have the perfect casual dresses for summer! We recently picked some fabulous new designs to add to our already superior Continue reading →

The combination of the one-shoulder, sheer side cut-out, and open back make this dress so sexy and Valentine's Day appropriate! We especially love the deep red Cherry color Continue reading →
