Right, so I bought this for New Year's Eve. It’s got that classic look that works for almost any smart do. The material is thick enough that you don’t need to worry about it being see-through. It came up a bit big on me, but nothing a belt or a quick trip to the tailor couldn't sort out.

This was my backup dress for a graduation party, and I ended up liking it more than my first choice. It’s really easy to move about in. The off-the-shoulder sleeves are actually comfortable and don't dig into your arms. It’s a brilliant wardrobe staple to have on hand for random occasions.

This dress was absolutely perfect for my friend’s pre-wedding dinner. It’s quite simple, but the appliqués give it a lovely touch. I usually struggle with getting the right size, but the size guide was spot on this time. The fabric doesn't feel like the most luxurious in the world, but it looks brilliant in photos and definitely looks the part.

I was looking for something elegant for a date night at a posh restaurant, and this dress was spot on. It fits true to size, maybe a bit snug around the hips, but the material has enough give that it wasn't a bother. The colour is exactly like the picture.

I wore this to a semi-formal dinner on a cruise. It packs really well and didn't crease too badly in my suitcase. The fabric is thick enough that you don't need special shapewear, which is a relief. It felt very elegant and spot on for the occasion.
