Party Dresses – Whatever your style!

Put 10 different women in a room and ask them to describe their ideal Christmas party dress. The one thing that is absolutely certain is that they will describe then different dresses. There may be some similarities, maybe quite a few of them will opt for a little black dress of some variety, or a dress with sleeves will be a popular choice, but, ultimately, the dresses will be different and unique.

With that in mind I have collated a collection of 25 dresses that should cover all bases. There are maxi dresses, midi frocks and flirty minis. There are dresses with sleeves and those that are completely strapless. We have little black dresses of all styles, but colour is represented too, with designs in red, in teal, in blue, and in metallic gold, silver and bronze. There are dresses that are plain and simple, but very effective, and dresses that have patterns – floral, spot and jacquard. There are lace dresses, dresses with sequins and velour. Other than a disposable paper dress, or something rock chick in leather, I really do think this just about covers everything.

Which design is your favourite? Do you get a new dress for Christmas, or do you have a failsafe that, like Santa, makes an appearance once a year?
