Perfect Party Dress

My birthday is in a couple of weeks, and I am trying to find the perfect party dress to wear for it, something versatile but still dressy.  Enter the wrap dress from Butter by Nadia.  It fits sizes 2-16 and can be wrapped in numberless ways (and it's hand washable).  I have my eye on the pink satin dress which is on sale at Calypso for $175.
