When/whenever
1-When I saw her at a party, she had a blue dress on.
2-She had a blue dress on when I saw her at a party.
3-She always had a blue dress on when I saw her at a party.
Could these be used instead of:
4-Whenever I saw her at a party, she had a blue dress on.
In other words can 1, 2 and 3 be used if I had seen her at parties more than once?
1 and 2 can obviously be used if I have seen her at one party only.
Gratefully,
Navi.

1. This means you saw her once, at a certain party, with a blue dress on. This sentence, as it stands, does not preclude that you saw her at more than one party with a blue dress on, but that is not what is expressed in this sentence. If you saw her at more than one party with a blue dress on, you would not use this sentence to express this fact.
2. This means the same thing as 1.
