The festive party season is well under way with Christmas and New Year just around the corner. At this time of year you can go all out in the fashion stakes, whether it is with sparkle, dramatic silhouettes or opulent colours/textures. Fashion trends in recent years have leant towards more casual styles and even trips out to bars and restaurants meant pulling on jeans and trainers to avoid feeling ‘overdressed’. At Christmas however, there is no such thing as overdressed – so a party dress is the perfect choice.
