Sequin party dress

Hi ladies,

Please can you help me find a dress for my Christmas party.

I am looking for a sequin dark coloured dress with sequins. It needs to be midi or to the knee, I am short so a maxi won't look great on me. The sleeves need to be long or 3/4.

I prefer dresses that are fitted on the chest and then flare out as I have a mum tum. Nothing too tight as it looks really bad and nothing too lose as it looks like I'm wearing a sack.

If anyone has seen any nice dresses, please could you link, I would really appreciate it.

My budget is £100. Thank you

I'm not sure you will find much this year as most brands are shunning sequins as they are so terrible for the environment. You could look on eBay for a preloved one?

This is gorgeous (but a bit over budget). Quite a classic style though … And if you follow Trinny on Instagram, she often dresses down sequins so they’re not just for Christmas.

This is really pretty but too long for me.

M&S have quite a lot of sequined stuff at the moment. I bought my sequin dress in Tesco!

Someone needs to tell that to John Lewis, sequins everywhere in store!

Seriously can we just have a nice dress thread without an eco warrior banging on? Hmm

This will probably go to 50% off in the sale…

@MAOU I am not an eco warrior. I was being helpful. Preloved is also cheaper.
