Help me find red and gold outfit

[Janie143]

Dear all. My DP is taking me on a cruise for Christmas. The dress code for Christmas day formal night is red and gold evening or cocktail dress. I have searched and searched and that colour combo is just not "in" this year. Any ideas? I'm 5 foot nothing size 14. Thanks 😊

I’d go with red and gold separates. Someone linked to a nice gold skirt recently, think it was Next? That or something similar with a red top would look good.

Actually I think it was this one might be too long … but there are lots of gold skirts around

Supermarketz are full of red and gold Tu and Tesco have some beautiful seasonal separates. When I went on Caribbean Cruise lines you could also hire the formal clothes and fancy dress. Appreciate they might not have a great petite range.

There are loads of red or gold dresses. Personally, I'd choose one of those and then pair with the other colour for accessories.

eg...

I'd likely go for a red or burgundy cocktail dress with gold shoes. What shapes/ lengths suit you?

That said, depending on your style/ appetite for drama this could be amazing. Pair with a red lip and shoes.

That looks like a wedding dress!

Would This work? John Lewis has lots of red/burgundy dresses in various lengths.

Surely it's red or gold rather than both colours together? Christmas Day on board would look wonderfully jazzy if everyone was wearing both colours - think Strictly vibes 💃

HM have this beautiful short red dress that I've been eyeing up for Christmas parties Perhaps it's too short for a cruise though.

Roman have loads of decently priced red or gold dresses, don't rule our skirts and tops either

Thank you all 😊
