The cocktail dress hunt...
I have a nice meal booked and a cocktails evening at a posh hotel. I'm looking for a short cocktail dress, probably black as classic, that I can wear again and again. Reiss has some nice ones but £450. Budget up to £250.
I can't do black too near my face, so dresses where the top part is sheer or one shoulder ideally, or a slim deep v neck might work although that can make my waist look shorter. Empire or waist emphasis is fine. Long or mid sleeve preferably. Short. Some kind of glitz, sculpture, texture is nice.
Just not sure where to look. Any ideas?
