I've been looking for a while know, but today I have found the perfect Little black dress, it fits a treat! Bought a dress from Bonmarche in their black Friday sale, bargain! Its sparkling with a lovely detail around the neck that flatters my figure! So excited.

I have my bag from last year with dimities over the clutch part and shoes that match. I am all set! Now to get the weather to stop raining so my hair doesn't frizz 😜

How about you guys? Are you going on any Christmas parties, or work nights out?

Yes, l got two from Roman, as l am tall and their dresses fit me well, not just for Christmas, winter, wore one recently to a wedding with fake fur gillet and ankle boots.

Hi @SpentDandelion
Do you have a link for the green one - it's very 'me' as well, and I love a v-neck. Thank you x

SeptemberSon · 23/11/2022 18:29

I've gone for this but with thick black tights, biker boots and a leather jacket.

I went for this. The legs were terribly long so I had to take it up but I love it. www.zara.com/uk/en/blazer-jumpsuit-p08974707.html

CharlotteStreet · 23/11/2022 18:49

queenofthewild That is fabulous!

This is mine bought second hand. Mine is a larger size and fits looser on me, more like a tunic. It rattles 😁

Planning to wear it with 40 denier black tights and heeled ankle boots. There is some debate over whether to wear a belt with it. Our party is Vegas themed so I decided to go all out.

Wow love that userengage

I won’t be buying anything specially. I’ve got a navy jumpsuit (Phase Eight again), a pink sleeveless dress or a navy off the shoulder dress, any of which will do.

Having said that, I do have my eye on a velvet maxi skirt, which would look good with a newish silk top I bought… and would be warm!

Prettybubblesintheair · 23/11/2022 18:50

@FuzzySock i need this! Where is it from please?

FilthyforFirth · 23/11/2022 19:01

Mine appears to be sold out as I can't find it online. But it is the shirt dress style of this pattern, same long sheer sleeves, a but shorted too.

Already wore it to the Shard, was so comfy!

Love seeing everyone's dresses!

Ooo @CharlotteStreet I like that very much.

I'd need some sturdy thigh controlling underwear for the clingier dresses though.

50ftQueenieee · 23/11/2022 19:09

I was thinking of getting this dress but not sure 😊

BrutusMcDogface · 23/11/2022 19:18

I don’t have a Christmas party to go to! 😭
My work are doing a curry night which I will enjoy but looking at these dresses, I quite fancy dressing up! Curry house is a bit rough round the edges- more of a jeans and possibly half nice top kind of place 😉😂

myfatisgettingfatter · 23/11/2022 19:25

I got a Per Una black off shoulder jumpsuit today from a second hand market stall £12

I was beyond delighted , perfect condition
It has no washing instruction label so will just put it in a delicate wash and hope for best
It's plain with a small bow detail on the off shoulder bit

Not been to a Xmas party in years as I never feel comfortable or dressed enough , just need someone to come to the loo with me every time 😂😂😂😂

ShakeYourFeathers · 23/11/2022 19:31

This is the one I’m hoping to wear to a couple of parties this Christmas

Thank you!

It's not too clingy on me (I'm not smaller, it's just a bigger size) but I will be wearing industrial underwear nevertheless 😊

Hatemymiddlename · 23/11/2022 19:47

I bought this dress recently. It is black with gold specs. Looks nicer than the picture and was half price.

This is mine. I'm carrying a whole bunch of extra weight that I've accumulated over the last 3 years, and this fits beautifully.

Out in mine tonight

ruched for stretching
nothing to fall out when dancing
black so can’t fail
long arms for warmth whilst waiting for a kebab

Bubblegumpies · 23/11/2022 19:53

Ordered this but it hasn't arrived yet. Marks and Spencer Ghost x

Ive got two parties and two dresses. One red halter neck from Lipsy and another black cocktail dress from French Connection that I got from Vinted. I check out dresses that I like then check Vinted, honestly some fab bargains on there x

DWMoosmum · 23/11/2022 20:15

@RTHJ14 thats stunning, you'll look gorgeous. Where is it from?. I do love a LBD. x

Got one similar to this in silver in the summer sales and I bloody love it! It’s heavy and fully lined so hangs perfectly a few inches above the ankle, fully disguises my lockdown lard and works pretty much anywhere - wore it on holiday with vest & flat sandals, with t-shirt & trainers in the autumn, and will be rolling it out again with blazer & ankle boots for xmas.

SpentDandelion · 23/11/2022 21:14

hi @Lovewineandchocolate
Sorry l'm not very good links, but it's on the Roman clothing website, if you search under green and black dress, cost £40.00.
I like the casual Boho look, they have a lot of dresses on there for all occasions.
