The Fairy Godmothers, aka The GMD style team, have done it again. They’ve come up with a totally gorgeous collection of ball gowns they highly recommend just for you!
The NLY Finale Dress
This ball gown has a real slinky feel about it and the drape back ensures a fun and flirty detail. Long hair, an up-do, how would you style your hair for this dress? Well after much deliberation from Team GMD, they decided that it depends how smart the ball is – up for a sit down dinner ball and down for a wild night on the dance floor.
The NLY Iza Dress
Prepare to sparkle in this dress! NLY has done it again, The Iza fastens with a halter neck detail, cut at the back in a way that highlights the shoulder blades. The stone embellished neckline and bust catches the light. Everyone’s eyes will be on you in the stunning black ball gown!
Little Mistress Maxi Purple Dress
Fancy a little colour in your ball gown? Look no further than this very sparkly purple gown from Little Mistress. This prom dress cinches in the waist and accentuates it. Wear it to prom and you’d definitely get our vote for prom queen!

These three red dresses have everything going for them. From £29 to £109 they are perfect for any event you have coming up. Sequins, velvet and lace, they scream texture. So go on, rent red dresses and you’ll never stop dancing the night away!
NLY Sway Dress – Sleeves, a backless draped detail and soft, luxurious velvet. What more could you ask for?! This LRD looks like any other red bodycon dress from the front, but with a twirl and a flick of your hair, a sexy drape detail reveals itself at the back. This red dress is sure to sway anyone’s opinion that you will, without a doubt, look drop dead gorgeous in it.
Honor Gold Lola Dress – The Kinks sang about Lola drinking champagne and dancing all night, and we reckon that this red dress is called Lola for that very reason; head straight for the dance floor on a night out. The three quarter length sleeves add a fun flirty element to the red dress, while the lace oozes sex appeal.
NLY Finale Dress – And for our grand final, let us introduce the Finale dress! You can’t help but shimmer in this red prom dress. The sequins catch the light and everyone’s attention. Who says you need a disco ball, this red dress will lure everyone onto the dance floor!
We can’t decide which our favourite is, so we’ll just have to leave it up to you to decide. If we’ve got you in the mood for LRDs, check out our other red dresses for more inspiration.

Greetings GMD Blog Readers! Buying Assistant Sophie writing today. My birthday is coming up at the beginning of November and I need a dress. The most important factors about the dress:
1. Let’s start with the obvious: my party’s at night so I need an evening dress!
2. I’m not going to lie, I want my friends to be jealous and what better way to do that than with a designer evening dress.
3. The weather’s getting cold so a dress with sleeves sounds like a good option.
4. I’m starting the night in a restaurant with my family so need a ‘family-friendly’ dinner dress.
5. Straight after dinner I’ll be meeting friends in London’s West End where we’ll dance the night away: hello party dress!
There are so many to choose from but I said to myself that I should aim for a top three. Having looked at the evening dresses online in the ‘It’s My Birthday’ collection, and after some debate in the office I gave the list I made to our fabulous styling team who helped me pick The Top Three. You can message them directly at: enquiries@girlmeetsdress.com Over the next few weeks, as the big day draws closer, I’ll be revealing the contenders. Here’s the first one!
I fell in love with the Valerie Junifer dress the moment I saw it, there was a lot of oohing and aahing! It is incredibly flattering. The sequins will shimmer as the dancing gets under way in the club, and the construction of the sleeves mean that I won’t get too hot. I’ll have the option of wearing tights with it during dinner and then as soon as I’m with my friends I can whip them off. This dress has started some serious competition, the other contenders better watch out!

Ever the ultra glamorous sidekick of the trusty Little Black Dress, a long evening dress will silhouette the taller among us and create length for the shorter in profile. These dresses possess the magical powers of elongating the legs whilst bringing attention and proportion to beautiful shoulders, a statement necklace or toned arms. For A/W 2013 choose a long dress and update the floaty, floral maxi dresses of summertime ready for autumn birthdays, stylish nights out in your student city and Christmas balls – look to the Long Black Dress.
Look no further than the collection of long evening dresses available to hire from the girls at Girl Meets Dress and plan in advance for your special event, or find an excuse to stand out from the crowd. For me, the Alexander Wang Panne Velvet Dress is the quintessential, profile-hugging floor length dress which will showcase an elegant back and shoulders perfectly and is available for £49 as opposed to the retail price of £285. If you love lace and are still keen to show off your pins, Dark Pink’s Susie Lace Maxi Dress will make you feel a million dollars.
If this is too daring for your evening, try Butter by Nadia’s Black Jersey Gown for a guaranteed fit and attention to the décolletage.  When black just won’t cut it, consider the understated Cerulean Jersey gown, again from Butter by Nadia, a fit that would put Kate Middleton to shame. Finally, who could resist injecting some colour into the colder days with the striking pink of Ariella’s Elizabeth Gown?
