We know how stressful it is to find a dress for that upcoming holiday party. And, with Q4 rounding out and all those end-of-the year projects wrapping up, not to mention planning for the holiday season, buying gifts, scheduling travel, family flying in and everything else you’ve got going on—we totally understand if finding a new dress is the least of your problems.

We’ve scoured the internet for high-quality, chic pieces that are perfect for a corporate event, fancy family dinner or a cozy Christmas celebration. All you have to do is scroll, add to cart, pull out your wallet and type in those digits.

Below are six stunning long dresses at a variety of price points, that are work-environment appropriate, but also classy, elegant and bound to get compliments.
