An occasional happy hour. The all-important first date. Every New Year’s Eve party in the Metroplex for the last five years.

Your little not-so-black-anymore dress has been around the block more than a few times. And come December 31, you’ll want to make a bigger statement than your clothes do. (We see those sweat stains.)

Meet Pegah Anvarian. Her holiday line is filled with sultry cocktail frocks in bright colors (or your fave — basic black).

Wear the daring scoop-neck to your Fort Worth fete. Toss on the sweet halter-top for an Irving soiree. And the elegant high-neck is perfect for raising your champagne glass right downtown.

Once the clock strikes midnight, you’ll pay no mind to that tattered black dress from way back in 2005.

In some cases, old acquaintance should be forgot.
