White maxi dress to Christmas party

16 replies

I have a white/cream cotton maxi dress that I’m wondering could I wear to my work Christmas party. It’s a bit see-through so I would wear a slip underneath. Could I make this more festive and suitable? Normal attire would be glitzy sequinned glam dresses. Pic is from website, not me.

Erm, no, sorry. If money is tight, start looking in charity shops, they have lots of glitzy clothes at this time of year.

Get yourself on Vinted for something more suitable.

I wouldn't wear that in winter. Long white dress you can only get away with in summer or at your own wedding IMO.

Lol that sounds like a resounding No! It's definitely summery but was hoping somehow it could be made suitable. Back to the drawing board I guess.

Some wings and a halo made from a wire coat hanger and silver tinsel?

Sorry - I’m being facetious. I don’t know where you’re going and what’s appropriate to the event. It does look summery, but you could possibly get away with a load of gold jewellery, biker boots and a leather/faux leather jacket.

I'd spill mulled wine down that in about 3 minutes

that's very summery. How would you make that more festive?

It feels like a summer dress to me tbh, not sure how you'd make it feel festive
