Re: Holiday work party - How do I pull off this dress?
Black footed tights, a fitted black blazer (or even navy blue/grey would look fab, sometimes even an embellished fitted cardigan can work if it has a formal flare) sparkly shoes and a pretty necklace and you are sorted. That is pretty much my 'how to halal-ify a dress in 4 steps' guide for every sleeves short dress I've ever bought.

Pretty much everything KP mentioned but i'd say definitely stick with a darker cardigan/blazer to keep with the chic look, a grey would look to business-like.

a pretty bolero jacket, blk/blue tights and heels. if you are keeping your silhouette monochromatic ... then add a pop of color with a clutch or statement earrings etc ...
Re: Holiday work party - How do I pull off this dress?
I personally wouldn't do a cardigan with this dress because it looks too dressy in my opinion and a cardigan would make it look more casual and take away that element from the dress. If the dress wasn't that material, then yes a cardigan would look good.
I would opt for a fitted blazer instead. I think black tights and really cute black booties would tie it up nicely. You can opt for nice accessories if you wish.
