Black velvet blazer and wide leg pants from Next. I have silver and rose gold sequin vests to wear under it.

Love these, so jealous. Enjoy your parties ladies!

Have a few parties this year, normally don’t bother. I’ve been looking at this, not yet purchased. Pondering the blue or green. There’s a corset so I’m hoping it has some sucking in capabilities!🤣

I just ordered this today and hoping it arrives by my Christmas party, otherwise I'm wearing a white dress with a fitted cape.

Either way I'm wearing it on Christmas Day as well...

Managed to order this yesterday after checking 1432 a day if it's back in stock - I hope it looks nice on!

Oh now I’m going to be checking 1432 times a day! I love that but out of stock in my size.

My message was for @Okaaaay 😁

BatshitCrazyWoman · 25/11/2023 06:22

Some lovely dresses on this thread 😍

Sadly, I have no need to pull out any stops, I only have my work Christmas do, which is during work hours, a buffet lunch (and I, with another colleague, will be arranging the cheeseboard and antipasto etc, so no glamour at all!). However, my colleagues are amongst some of my favourite people in the world (I work for a small charity) so spending time with them and having fun makes up for the lack of dressing up 😊

@Sunnyweatherwoman

I had the jumpsuit in burgundy last year and had so many compliments. I don’t got to lots of parties etc so it was a real bargain.

They have them again this year.

@rosettesforjill you look absolutely stunning and should be modelling for W & B.

Blush thank you!

That’s so cute @MattDillonsEyebrows and love your username . He was very easy on the eye(brow!)😂

Kellioo · 25/11/2023 10:25

@MattDillonsEyebrows I love that! Very tempted to order it, I don't need it but really want it!

tootsnwoocake · 25/11/2023 10:33

@MattDillonsEyebrows I love that dress too, and dithered about buying it (in both colours!). It's now out of stock in my size. Have been obsessively checking the website every day but no luck. Such a good price too

Doggymummar · 18/11/2023 23:24

God I've got so many functions, not bought anything new this year though so can't tag anything.

So many? What are they?
I have works do, but that is during the day so we just wear our nicer work clothes. I have one club whose party I might not be able to go to and that's it.

If I do anything NYE it'll be a party at a friend's house in jeans.

How can I get myself some posh parties so I can justify buying a new dress???

evtheria · 25/11/2023 11:05

@ThankGoditsChristmas That's beautiful, very chic and a nice juicy red.

@Gwenhwyfar If you find a posh party please let me be your +1 because I want to dress up too. I have a nice family meal out this Christmas, but it's not FANCY-fancy!

43ontherocksporfavor · 25/11/2023 11:54

@tootsnwoocake Check Vinted and eBay.

Roman dress

This is mine, it fits really well, it’s a little cheap on the fabric side, but no-one will notice as it hangs really nicely all the same.

It actually comes up slightly longer than in the photo, but is not knee-length by any imagination!
