There’s truly nothing more flattering on a woman than a plunging neckline-plus-empire waist, made even better by some artful embellishments. Dresses that follow these criteria give curves to the waiflike, but smooth out those of us that could use fewer bumps and bulges. These Anthropologie-inspired cocktail dresses are beautifully made in three super-rich colors, and although it’s a bit early, will make wonderful additions to your holiday wardrobe. Also perfect for all of those summer and fall weddings coming up!

$89.99 in deep red, emerald green and gold.
