HOGMANAY is a brilliant time to let your hair down and party.
But picking the perfect look to bring in the bells isn’t always easy.
Lots of people will go for glitz and glam.
But if you’re after a more classic look, we have found the perfect little black party dress – and the best news is it’s under £50.
My work bestie and I have been trying out some of the most on-trend styles for the 2024 festive season.
I’m a 44 and a size 10 whose self-conscious about my mum tum while my pal 33-year-old Katy is a plus-sized and petite with big boobs.
Together, we launched our For EveryBODY campaign to find some of the best looks from the high street to see what looks great on all shapes.
We scour the supermarkets and high street stores for outfits that flatter both of our ages and shapes and to see if there really is something for every body.
On our hunt for some stunning seasonal styles for the festive holidays, we were invited along to the newly refurbished River Island store on Glasgow’s Argyle Street.
And we both swooned over a gorgeous black velvet mini dress that looked like it belonged on a movie star but had a budget price tag of £45.
This grown-up, glamorous dress oozes luxury and class.
The a-line shape suite both of us, hiding the bits we are self conscious about.
But while it might look sensible at the front, the party is definitely on the reverse.
It has a really low, cut out, showing off some serious back.
And it has a massive, oversized silk bow that almost skims the floor, giving it Hollywood drama.
You can imagine making a proper statement moment with this dress at a party, with your hair scooped up to show off the stunning details.
Katy said: “You can never have too many little black dresses in your wardrobe, and this one is a Hogmanay show-stopper. The on-trend over-sized bow and comfy fit are winners.”
And I have to agree – if you are looking for a dress to bring in the New year, you’d be the belle of the ball on this.
