Christmas party dresses

A party dress doesn't have the same appeal while wearing a vest hahahaha.

I bought this asymmetric tunic top to wear with my black leggings and new blue ankle boots. I dressed It up with a string of freshwater pearls. I've also got pearl drop earrings to complete the look.

Leggings ? I'd look like Max Wall with my thin legs. Or Olive Oyle.

Your dress looks very nice though MiniMoon,smart.

Not keen on any of those suggestions, except perhaps the velvet suit. I have two Seasalt tops. One silvery grey velvet, one dark blue cord. I wear them with various coloured tights or leggings,

Love your top minimoon quite versatile too I would think.

Just ordered a couple of dresses (most expensive £17;50!!) from JD Williams to try on. I never spend a lot on 'party' clothes as I don't go places v often that require dressing up. Save my money for the clothes I wear every day as need them to wash & wear well!

BBBevan, I've been looking for a silver velvet top!!! Seasalt don't appear to have one this year!

Oh

I don’t usually buy ‘party’ clothes (well, to be fair, I don’t go to any!). But for going out and about in December, I often wear red as it’s my favourite colour and looks seasonal! Just bought a lovely tunic from eBay. Well, it’s actually a dress on me as I’m not very tall!

I won’t be buying one this year. This is my Bombshell dress that I got last year and it will do for a few more years yet!

kittylester look on ebay. I got mine , less than half price and perfect .

Your dress looks smart and comfy to wear, ,Jane.
I don't like any of the outfits on the page of Christmass party dresses

The suggestions are too 'age appropriate' for my taste. I also never wear black, it makes me look as if I am at death's door. My taste is more boho.

I do have some bottle green velvet skinny trousers, worn with a loose light cotton top with a fine green willow foliage pattern on white, and rose gold shoes.

During the Christmas season I will wear my scarlet boucle wool coat over this ensemble.

I don't like anything on that page of party dresses and not the tops and leggings either, they're 'orrible.

Josephine looks nice but nobody is a size 16 with short legs.

I like Victorian. Something that no-one else has got. Not the run-of-the- mill usual " party dress ".

Years ago I wore velvet suits and frilled blouses or long velvet dresses with a high-neck blouse underneath.

I favour an elasticated waist, myself.

I like beige trews from Bon Marche and a long top with a reindeer on it.

batty..
You have Jo Brand's humour.

Sorry, none of those outfits float my boat.

Not a great pic ,the link is a better one but got this beautiful "bordeaux" coloured knit dress with sparkles and cold shoulders from M&Co,Reduced from £60 to £30. I wanted something Christmassy but not lacey and think it will suit so many occasions. www.mandco.com/diamante-embellished-cold-shoulder-shift-dress-bordeaux/1703595.html?dwvar_1703595_color=0824&cgid=10010090#start=164

My diet has paid off, I have a 'vintage' little black Gina Bacconi number that I treated myself to 30 years ago when we led a very social life and it fits again, so I do not need to go shopping for a party dress!

Thanks momb - yes the dress is really comfortable. I love Bombshell dresses but only have two so far! Working towards a collection

I bought a velvet tunic top with sparkles and stars on from White Stuff with 20% discount.
