Just tried on some old dresses I had lying around, and glad I did, because realised nothing fits me!

So what are you wearing to your works Xmas parties? Looking for inspiration...

@ExcessiveIyDisorganised

Black wide leg trousers, top and boots here, we are pretty casual. I suspect if the invitations said "dress to impress" a lot of people wouldn't go.
Actually that's not quite true but there would probably be a bit of muttering and most would ignore it.

I like that @beguilingeyes . Sounds a bargain.

I've got this dress from Oliver bonas, I like the colours.

I’m not going to my work Christmas party but I’ve got a few things coming up and am following this thread with an eagle eye Grin
@MushMonster that is absolutely beautiful, I love it!
And there was another one that was gorgeous but I don’t have the legs for it, tights would be doing the dress a disservice but for those who would strut about in it - what a dazzling statement! Can’t bloody remember whose it was now, think it was the French connection sequinned dress….

TheChosenTwo · 20/11/2021 18:32

Oh my mistake, it was @HelplessAndLost with the John Lewis dress! I love it Smile

StiltonIsLife · 20/11/2021 18:38

@Littleguggi did you get the velvet dress from silkfred, how was it? It looks nice

MrsJBaptiste · 20/11/2021 19:37

@Newchallenge I've never heard of this website but love that jumpsuit! Can I ask how long it is? I'm 5' 8" and would want it really long (to the floor)?

Littleguggi · 20/11/2021 19:48

@StiltonIsLife I did, it's a lovely colour and thick fabric however the fit just wasn't right on me. It suggests sizing up which I did but it still felt small around the hips and the slit went right up to to where it shouldn't Blush

I got this in October for a party and am wearing it for my work Xmas party. It is completely ott but I really don’t care after the drudgery of the last 2 (or actually 7!) years!!

I know it won’t be to most people’s taste!

TheChosenTwo · 20/11/2021 19:54

Well it’s definitely a bold choice but I’m with you @PollyIndia - this year I’m leaning towards something a bit more special than my usual black dress choices!

BringMeTea · 20/11/2021 19:58

@PollyIndia that dress is stunning! Wear it unapologetically.

Oblomov21 · 20/11/2021 19:59

I can't find anything I like so far. And I've put on weight.

MushMonster · 20/11/2021 20:04

I quite like Notinthenewrug one!

PollyIndia · 20/11/2021 20:35

Thank you thechosentwo and bringmetea!

@VienneseWhirligig

This, it's my favourite dress and I don't have anywhere to wear it!
@VienneseWhirligig that dress is absolutely gorgeous! Please can I ask where it's from? I love it! I bet you'll look fabulous. What are you planning to wear with it?
pictish · 20/11/2021 21:35

@PollyIndia we have a winner ladeez and gentlemen. Bloody hell...that's stunning.

PollyIndia · 21/11/2021 09:30

I love that sezane dress Pictish.

Thanks beguiling eyes! I wore it to a party in October, and I bloody loved wearing it. The most non lockdown dress I could find!

pictish · 21/11/2021 09:45

Thanks. Your dress is incredible. I can think of someone I work with who would totally nail it too. Unashamedly joyful. I love it.

I bought this crepe jersey jumpsuit from Roman originals (and I’m. It even going on a cruise!), and it’s the single most flattering and comfortable thing I own. It’s very forgiving, hides a multitude of sins and can easily be dressed up or down - and also easy to take on and off!

Newchallenge · 21/11/2021 13:57

@MrsJBaptiste I am 5"7 so I think it would be fine on you. Obviously it's inexpensive fabric, but stretchy and comfortable.
Definitely missing pockets though. I'd have paid more if it had pockets!

MrsJBaptiste · 21/11/2021 18:50

Fab! Thank you 😊
