Color
-
When selecting a dress think about the color in relation to the type of birthday party. A lighter, brighter color is more appropriate for a daytime spring or summer party. Darker colors work better for nighttime or winter parties. Consider the favorite color of the person having the birthday.
Style and Fit
-
Consider the style and fit of your birthday party dress. The fit should allow you to participate in the party. If a dress is too restricting and you are going to a dance party, it will be hard to dance. A formal dress is appropriate for a black-tie party, but not for a pool party. A floral dress is perfect for a garden party.

Material
-
The material of the dress is also an important consideration. Material should be selected based on the season of the party and the time of day. A wool dress would be too hot for a summer party. Wearing a thin material will not only look more appropriate, but will be more comfortable. If you have a summer dress you want to wear during the winter, find a coordinating sweater to go with it to ensure you won't be cold.
Embellishments
-
Hand embroidery around the neck or bottom of a dress creates a new look, or buy iron-on embroidered patches for a similar look. Sewing novelty trim such as lace, pom poms or rickrack will turn a simple dress into a party dress. For a subtle change, trim the arms, neck and bottom of a dress with contrasting-colored bias tape. Adding sequins and rhinestones will make your dress sparkle at the party.
Accessories
-
Remember to accessorize your dress. Make sure the accessories do not clash with the embellishments you have made. If you have added a lot to the neckline, a necklace may be too much. Find an interesting bracelet instead. If there is embroidery on the bottom of the dress, an eye-catching necklace can change the look of the dress. Wearing larger accessories than normal creates a dramatic effect appropriate for a birthday party.
