Holiday party invitations have a way of sneaking up on you—and so does the realization that you have nothing to wear. The good news? Amazon is already discounting party dresses ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. The event officially starts on October 6, but I found tons of early markdowns on holiday-party dresses live now.

We love fashion here at GH, and I polled my fellow editors for recommendations on their favorite holiday and fall dresses on Amazon. One raved about a cable knit mini that’s on sale, and another staffer shared an off-the-shoulder gown with a dramatic slit. Check out our favorites on sale below.

I love pairing large, dangly earrings with off-the-shoulder dresses like this one for an elegant, classy look. The ruched drop waist is trendy, and the pleated skirt adds a little flair whenever you walk or twirl. It comes in an extensive size range and stretchy material, so everyone can find a comfortable fit.

AMUR is a celeb-loved brand, and this dress made with 100% cotton can be worn to a winter wedding, a New Year’s Eve ball, or your office’s holiday party. I love the ruching on the chest, the basque waist, and the flared-out skirt that’s elegant yet comfortable. You can wear it with statement necklaces and earrings, which will pair nicely with the square neckline and sleeve straps. You can now get it for less than $200 with this early Prime Day deal.

In my experience, velvet feels warm and hides undergarment seam lines, so it’s a great material for a bodycon winter dress. This one is form-fitting with a mock neck, ruching at the waist, and lace detailing at the hem. Pair it with stilettos, and you’re ready for any late-night party.

Satin slip dresses can be worn year-round with the right accessories. The low waistline and asymmetrical bottom create a unique look that’ll make you stand out this holiday season. Pair it with a shawl or cropped sweater, dainty jewelry, and heels.

"This dress is pretty universally flattering thanks to the wrap silhouette," said Senior Commerce Manager Mackenzie Dunn. "The crushed velvet is ideal for fall or even a holiday party. I also appreciated the flutter sleeves and slit that both added some drama to the dress."

Dunn noted that this dress held up in the wash after being washed on cold and line-dried. She added that it runs slightly big. Keep in mind that the dress is made in 36 colors; each size has only around 10 or more colors in stock.

Available in 21 colors, this velvet dress has tons of options for holiday parties, including a deep wine and a timeless black. I love the floral pattern and mesh sleeves that make the dress unique. It’s a bodycon fit, but the dress flares out a bit at the hem for a bit of pizzazz.

Sweetheart necklines are sweet and feel nostalgic. While this one’s not on sale, it costs under $50 at retail. The sleeve straps are tied into cute bows at the shoulders, and the dress has a lovely flared skirt. Get it in bright red for a holiday party and I bet you’ll get loads of compliments.

Plaid for the holidays is classic, but the bow ribbons on the front makes this pick so on trend. The silhouette is pretty loose-fitting, so you’ll feel comfy all day and night (and can wear underlayers if it’s cold!). Pair it with loafers or flats for a more casual look, or accessorize with jewelry and heels to dress it up.

We love the puff sleeves and tulle details on this dress. The smocked material around the chest is stretchy for an overall comfy but cute style.

If your holiday party calls for cocktail attire, we like the balloon sleeves and on this numer. The brand claims the ruching helps visually smooth undergarment seams and shapewear lines. Its dramatic lantern sleeves can be worn on or off your shoulders, depending on your preference.

A cozy, cable-knit sweater dress is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner or a chill holiday hangout.

"The length falls right around mid-knee, which makes it versatile to pair with sneakers or boots. It feels well made, comfortable, and practical."

Park noted that this dress pilled a bit after washing, and recommends washing it on gentle and air-drying it for the best results. She added that it fits true to size.
