With the festive season approaching it means that it is time to start looking for the perfect winter ball gown! We have brought together some of the best ball gowns to help you decide on the perfect dress for you.
If your attending a black tie theme, or prefer the classic black dress, then the Scarlet  gown might be the one for you. With the luxurious sheen of the fabric and the cross back detailing, this gown is not to be underestimated. The layered fishtail gives the gown a fun edge, and allows the perfect ease of movement to dance the night away.
Add some colour to your evening. Wear this Badgley Mishka Ombre burst gown with confidence, knowing that you look dressed for the occasion. This one shouldered beauty has lovely red crystal detailing on the shoulder. Show it off by wearing your hair to one side or treating yourself to an up-do perhaps? The side split in the skirt reveals decadent layers of fabric which feature hues from pink to red. Honestly, if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd we recommend you try this one on.
Snow ball? Snow problem. The Blake dress from Diva Sophia is a show stopper. This floor length dress has a gorgeous semi sheer skirt and a hand beaded embellished bodice. Â Accessorize the dress with some statement heels and a designer clutch.

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!

With Kate Middleton set to head back to work we take a look at some of our work wear for hire and job interview dresses for hire as we excitedly anticipate what Kate may wear next.
Kate’s work dresses at Royal Appearances and Engagements are always totally on point and she does professional but chic like a pro. The first Royal Engagement since the birth of her son is the equivalent of a big work meeting or interview. All eyes will be on her and a spot of power dressing is sure to offer confidence.
Press scrutiny will be rife and Kate will surely choose to wear a brand new and rather special item for her first step back into ‘working’ life. For those of who have high pressure meetings but without the princess budget then hiring a work outfit is the perfect solution; all of the pizzazz and less of the price. Here are some of our favourite pieces to tick the ‘dressing for a job interview’ box or offer you a big meeting confidence boost. Kate, if you need us – we’re here.
Thought you couldn’t have fun with work wear? Think again, GMD make it easy for you to adhere to office dress codes and provide solutions to the ‘what does smart casual mean?!’ dilemma and this YSL dress is a prime example. Sensible length, modest neckline and a bright colour make this the perfect piece of summer office wear.
Sometimes when a big meeting or job interview calls a new outfit is needed. You’re there to impress and want to look your best but it’s also a one-time thing and your special interview dress may never see the light of day again, this is why hiring a dress for an interview or hiring a dress for a meeting is the ideal solution. Confused over what to wear to an interview or what to wear to a meeting? Then an office appropriate LBD is the way to go. Simple but classic this Krystof Strozyna peplum is sure to get you hired!
Few designers do dresses like Diane and Miss Von Furstenberg’s Franca Knit Dress is power dressing at its finest. A flattering geometric pattern and bold colour tick the boxes for fashionable work wear whilst the neck and hemlines are once again spot on with office dress codes.
Want to emulate K-Mid and do designer work wear on a budget? Then check out our range of interview and meeting dresses to hire and you’ll be queen of the office in no time.
