Edits Guide to Party Dressing

1: The Tunic Dress

This dress is a great shape for an apple girl as it avoids adding any volume anywhere. Add bright accessories to stand out from the crowd at any Christmas party this season. This hot pink bag and shoes work well against the navy and black colours of the dress.

French Connection Icicle Storm Tunic Dress

Ted Baker Court Shoes

River Island Embellished Clutch Bag

2: The Show-Stopper Dress

With a dress like this who needs anything else right? This is the perfect dress for a rectangle shape girl as its fairly straight up and down. Match the accessories to the silver sequins for a truly glittering affect.

Adrianna Papell Scoop Back Dress at the Dressing Room

ASOS Heeled Sandals

Whistles Clutch Bag

3: The Fit & Flare Dress

A great shape for an hourglass girl as it brings you in at the middle. Pair a light coloured dress with darker coloured accessories as they aren’t so hard to match up. Big up blue this season rather than black and sparkle with these metallic inspired shoes and bag.

Topshop Fit & Flare Dress

Mawi Glitter Clutch

River Island Court Shoes

4: The Velvet Dress

Velvet is the fabric of this party season and classy in navy. A great shaped dress for a pear girl to show off her fabulous small waist. Go wild with printed accessories and nothing says party more than a bit of leopard print!

Reiss Velvet Dress

Kurt Geiger Leopard Print Heels

Oasis Leopard Print Clutch Bag

5: The Red Dress

At Christmas time, red is always the new black. A great dress for a strawberry shape girl to show off her bust and the mid length will help flatter her bottom. Nothing can add to the glamour of this dress so understated accessories in black is the way to wear it.
