party dress
Gala night garment
A party dress is a woman's or girl's dress intended for festive occasions rather than everyday wear—typically more decorative, formal, or eye-catching than ordinary clothing.
The term suggests something between casual and black-tie: She bought a sparkly party dress for New Year's Eve.
Often implies shorter hemlines and flashier fabrics.
