We are excited to announce one of our lovely Student Brand Ambassadors at Cardiff University, Sophie Charles, has written a blog post for us detailing her experiences as a SBA at Girl Meets Dress.
Â
I’d heard of being an ambassador for a newspaper before, and promoting club nights in the city but when I found the opportunity to do this for designer dresses, I couldn’t resist…seriously, what girl would?! Joining the GMD team as an ambassador allowed me to talk about some of my favourite things, without feeling guilty for it! Fashion, designers, beautiful dresses and special occasions to wear these stunning outfits to. Perfect!
 Above are some of the dresses that we received in our Fashion night in box. The four dresses  above from L-R are: Opulence England Lace Tutu Dress, Estradeur Rich Dress, Alice By Temperley Roussillon Dress, Nicole Miller Eva Dress Watermelon
As a student ambassador my role varies from handing out leaflets, to raising awareness of the company through word of mouth, social media sites, and organising events, which incorporate the GMD brand. I started my role as an ambassador in September, which was ideal timing with thousands of freshers coming to my university. I gave out flyers outside the student’s union in the first few welcome weeks, offering discount designer dresses to the girls…which, understandably, created a lot of excitement!
Creating and updating the profile for GMD Cardiff on Twitter and Facebook provides me with a fantastic opportunity to experiment with successful social media. It’s fun and easy to use as these platforms are already a part of my daily life. Finding interesting photos and cheeky slogans to share with followers is always a welcome break from university work!
One of my favourite nights so far this year has to be my girly night in with GMD dresses. I organised an evening with some close friends, we made a range of delicious cocktails and had some chocolatey nibbles before opening up our surprise box of 10 designer dresses. All the girls loved the variety we had been sent. We had a good old giggle swapping and changing around until we found a favourite, and there was no cat fighting needed with all that choice!
There are so many perks to my role as an ambassador, but just indulging myself in thinking about all these gorgeous dresses is still a highlight for me!

Our Student Brand Ambassadors at GirlMeetsDress are working hard to spread the word about our gorgeous dresses, particularly in the student community. They’ve been hosting Fashions Nights In, with some beautiful GMD dresses to create the perfect girls night!
Meet Georgia wearing the amazing Alexander Wang Panne Velvet Dress.
Alexander Wang Panne Velvet Dress
Geogia’s reaction of “some of the dresses in my wardrobe still have the tags on, I need Girl Meets Dress in my life!†sums up the GMD mentality. I think we all know that guilty feeling of buying brand new dresses, that of course we purchase with good intention, but never see the light of day again. This is where GMD comes in handy for students, because it’ll stop you wasting those precious pennies on an assortment of dresses that you’ll never wear.
Stella McCartney Pleated Stretch Dress
This stunning Pleated Stretch Dress from Stella McCartney, worn by our Student Brand Ambassador Katie, is a classic multi-functional dress that can be worn for a variety of events. As Katie said “Girl Meets Dress are perfect for so many different occasions in my diary†and with over 4,000 dresses we certainly agree with her!
Clover Canyon Corset Print Dress
Rafela and Cavelle liked this Clover Canyon Corset Print Dress so much, they both rented it! Rafela tells us “having a designer dress made me feel so special, I love GMD and will continue to rent again and again!â€.
“Great online company! So many dresses to choose from, I’m always going out to parties so the designer party wear is to die for. Amazing dress†says Cavelle.
Some of out other Student Brand Ambassadors have this to say:
“All the dresses are so beautiful and Girl Meets Dress have such a huge range of really amazing designers†Rachel, 20.
“I love Girl Meets Dress and the thought of having so many designer dresses available at the click of a button. It was amazing and really made me feel special…it was a dream†Megan, 21.
So, as you can see, with dresses starting at £29 you can’t really go wrong! Being a GMD Student Brand Ambassador means you’ll get added perks and discounts for you and your friends, including free dress hires if you’re successful!

As summertime rolls around again so does the BBC Proms – but what do you wear?
Tonight the Royal Albert Hall opens its doors to hundreds of excited music fans for what will be the first night of the BBC Proms 2013. The event, which has been running since 1895, lasts for eight weeks and provides daily classical concerts. The first night is sure to be one to remember, with sea-inspired works by Britten and Vaughan Williams and a special appearance by the 300-strong Proms Youth Choir and BBC Symphony Chorus.
Although described by some as a black-tie event, depending on where you’re sitting this can all change.  To avoid the risk of dressing up too much (or not enough), Girl Meets Dress have come up with three full-proof looks to rent that are elegant, stylish and perfect for your whimsical night at the Proms.
Hire Alice + Olivia’s Natalie Belted Dress and embrace the floral trend. The tailored dress creates a powerful silhouette which is ideal for the night ahead. We’ve seen a return of the paisley print over recent years, and Samantha Sung’s Claire Paisley Dress is the perfect combination of a summer colour palette and oversized prints.  Perhaps after the Proms are finished tonight you’re off to celebrate the weekend with a few drinks in the evening, and for that Carven’s Red Draped Dress has got you covered. Beautiful wrap detail hugs your body in all the right places and its vibrant colour is sure to stand out.
All three dresses are available to rent from only £39. To view our full range of dresses click here.

So your black tie event is around the corner and you’re in that classic dilemma, what are you going to wear?! You want to look better than ever before, but you don’t want to go over the top.  The rules have been loosened since the origins of black tie and now cocktail dresses are generally considered appropriate attire making the decision even harder. Not only do we have to choose the colour/fit/fabric of the dress but  the length as well, my they had it easy! The team at GMD have picked a few spring summer favourites to help ease the decision!
Our first pick is a gown by one of our favourite designers Dina Bar-El, on trend with one of the key features of ss13, lace. The Louise gown has a fitted bodice and a fishtail skirt which accentuates the body and creates a real sultry elegance – a bold choice, that is sure to turn heads.
Our second pick is the Issa Cross over dress, which is dark red in colour. Practise your red carpet poses and channel Angelina Jolie circa Oscars 2012, with a leg baring thigh slit. The floor length gown is the ultimate in simplistic sophistication, creating effortless glamour.
If you’re not afraid to show a little leg, try our Alice and Olivia Lora Metallic Dress. Bang on trend for ss13 with metallic hues this dress adds instant glamour to your black tie event. With graphic patterning adding textural detailing its sure to become the absolute go to cocktail dress.
Our final and fourth pick comes from our new collection of Ariella dresses. The Andrea dress mixes two key trends of ss13, metallics and pastels. The ice blue pencil dress is figure hugging with a metallic lace bodice. Sophisticated and feminine.
The team at GMD can’t wait for the next black tie event to wear one of our spring summer picks!
