Bustier for office Christmas party

[astronewt]

I'm planning to get this bustier from Zara for my office Christmas party, which is black tie/cocktail dress code. (It will come back into stock in time. It WILL.)

What would you pair it with? I'm thinking chandelier earrings not unlike the model's and maybe some wide-leg velvet trousers in a contrasting tone? Shoes? I don't want to wear heels if I can help it.

@Jeanjane is this a joke? I can’t tell. 😊

This outfit is stunning! How well put together. It's made me very sad that my xmas do is in a beerhall with just middle aged blokes. But maybe I'll buy it anyway and just wear it all day every day to the shops haha.

Hope you have a fab party!

Oh wow - I was going to post that you should get green earrings to tie in the shoes.....

I see I am too late and you have ruined our country and our relations with Australia.

Well that escalated quickly.

Fantastic outfit though OP I hope you have a fab time. Any Mumsnetter at that party will recognise you instantly.

Have jewelled slippers become the new Mumsnet scarf!

I see I am too late and you have ruined our country and our relations with Australia.

Don't forget ruining my neck muscles with my two-ton earrings! Who knew one party outfit could have such ramifications.

People do talk a load of absolute shite.

It’s a fantastic outfit - I’d wear it myself!

Enjoy the party!🥂🍷🍸🍹

I smiled at your DHs response. Liked his approval of your shoes.

I shudder to think what the MN views on a thread would be if you were starting a thread on what to wear on a beach holiday.

You look amazing. Have a great night.

You look great!! Enjoy the party.

you look fab!

This thread has been brilliant. OP you are very witty, surely a nominee for Classics?

You look great 😍 I love your hair and the earrings are just perfect.

Hopefully the one sleeved bustier eventually turns up and you’ll have a suitable event to wear it for soon.

Oh you look brilliant and so cool! I love a quiff on women. This bustier is great too and hopefully you will soon have 2 bustiers!

Can't believe this thread made it into the DM.

I'm getting Shirley Manson vibes! ❤

For the record: fuck you and the hack you rode in on, DM. My boss is wearing a backless minidress.

thanks for the link @astronewt I am however very outraged because my size is sold out!

glad you had a great night

Absolutely staggering what passes for news these days. Although I guess the daily mail know what they're doing, 1,300+ comments on their insane article 🤯

I would just like to state that I am pro bustier and I hope you had an excellent evening. I just don't know if I could go back to normal life if my shoulders had sparked an international incident...

The bustier with the sleeve did not taunt me by turning up in today's post, btw. I will post a final update if it ever graces me with its presence.

I would also just like to state for the record that everyone at the party looked glam and awesome in outfits ranging from strapless dresses to full tuxes, and nobody's body parts caused anyone present to have a fit of the vapours.

Oh no! I've been following this thread from the start & missed the picture in the end 😭

I think you should let the top itself shine and not distract with the slippers and earrings you have in mind.

I'd get matte leather or leather look cigarette trews, and pointy toed plain mules or flats.

Depends on your figure though - looser style trews would look better if you have a larger derriere. But stick to the black palette and don't try to make too many statements all at once.

She's already made her all statements!:)

And I have zero regrets even though I'm still sore from owning the dancefloor in them .

Btw, the bustier is currently back in stock online in XS, M and L, so get in there fast is my advice!

It came. Thank you, Royal Mail.

I’ve just snapped up the version without the sleeve, thanks for the tip!

Zara has been stalking me around the internet continuously for about two months now, but man they are killing it on the partywear this year. This bodysuit would also make an awesome Christmas party outfit for those who can manage without a bra. I almost wish I had more parties to go to.
