I wore this to a black tie event last week - i'm only 5ft 2 so it was full length on me, not midi. Super comfy, easy to wear and I felt very glam www.next.co.uk/g9375s2/a00985#a00985

I love that Crimbles it looks incredibly wearable but also stylish. I've bought far too many dresses this year in the excitement of actually having parties to go to. Trouble is it's bloody freezing and I really only want to wear cosies.

Not what you're looking for but I found a bargain Laura Ashley vintage dress in purple velvet in a charity shop for a tenner. That's me sorted this year!

This one.

It's Ghost - picked up in a local charity shop earlier this year... for £1.

A £1?!?! Lucky you!

It's from Bombshell. They've got it in a load of different colours. Not sure what stock levels are like, but here's a link to the style www.bombshellhq.com/collections/dresses/robe?usf_sort=bestselling
