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!

The second most exciting date of the royal calender year has been announced today and it’s got the GMD office all of a flutter trying to predict what our favourite princess Kate Middleton will be wearing. We are of course talking about the Christening of Prince George which it has been announced is set to take place on the 23rd October!
As keen followers of Miss Middleton’s designer dress habits we at GMD have been theorising on what we would recommend to her should she decide to pop in for a date with one of our stylists (we can dream). Never one to upset the rules Kate will inevitably stick to something in a longer length and with a modest neckline so she can look chic and sophisticated in church. Kate will almost certainly be looking at dresses with sleeves so she can stay fashionable, modest and practical in these colder October months.
Last time Kate stepped into church it was for her marriage to Prince William and her stunning designer wedding dress certainly turned heads with it’s simple yet striking design. This Alice and Olivia dress may appear plain but the two tones are perfect autumnal colour blocking and the subtle waisted area with gold detailing will show of Kate’s post pregnancy figure beautifully. Dresses with sleeves can leave the wearer feeling somewhat confined but the a-line shape of this dresses skirt will give Kate room to move – something she’ll need when George hit’s his toddling years!
Modest dresses with sleeves don’t have to be boring and when their simple shape is countered by the use of stunning materials such as in this lace Anna Sui dress you know you’re on to a winner. Dresses with sleeves can leave the upper body looking a bit larger than usual (not something Kate will ever have to worry about!) but the slight V-neck and wrap waist of this dress break it up perfectly for a flattering yet respectable style.
Further proof that modest does not meaning boring this stunning Carven dress comes in a bold shade of red and with a subtle waist dealing to offer a little bit of oomph to a generally quite modest style. Dresses with sleeves are the height of sophistication and this carven dress proves that you can do sexy and sophisticated. Perhaps not the ideal dress for a christening but definitely a designer dress for date night!
It may be October and officially time to wave goodbye to summer but that doesn’t mean you can’t work a floral dress for the colder months. The key is in the colour palette and this Erdem dress is a great example of a classic winter floral. The deep pinks, purples and blue are autumnal but still bright and cheerful making this one of our favourites from our entire collection of dresses with sleeves.
