The office Christmas party is upon you already and with it the urgent need to choose a Xmas dress.
You initially thought you would just re-jig your dress from last year. Maybe add a few sequins. A wee ruffle here and there. But alas, too many mince pies/glasses of mulled wine have put pay to that idea.

Thankfully, we are here to lend a helping hand.Introducing our picks of the best ‘last minute party dresses’ from the high street:

If you desire glamorous AND sophisticated, Warehouse’s sequined, gold and black, ‘Chevron dress’ will create a sexy silhouette which simultaneously screams  lady and luxury.

For those hankering for a pop of colour look no further than Oasis’s ‘Dream Dress‘. This lace, claret hued number was created by Look magazine readers on the hunt for the perfect party dress. 50s inspired, it’s nipped in waist and full skirt, flatters every figure… including those encumbered with a mince pie induced muffin tops (that will be my choice then.)

More in the mood for nostalgia? If so, you will love Mango’s ‘Vintage’dress. Champagne coloured, with a deep V front, it has art deco inspired sequins on the cute cap sleeves and bodice. What’s not to like?
