Putting on a floor length gown for an evening event is often something a girl doesn’t often get to do – so make the most of it when you get the chance. Evening glamour is easy to achieve with the right dress, and you can’t go wrong with long evening dresses that instantly look and feel elegant.
We have a variety of different evening dresses at Girl Meets Dress, but this post will discuss our top 5 long evening dresses. Finding long evening dresses online can be hard because it’s hard to know what size and length you need, but it’s not difficult to find the perfect evening dress at GMD because you can hire 3 dresses to try, and only pay for the one you wear – we’ll refund you for the 2 that you don’t! Finding the evening dress of your dreams is as easy as that!
Here are our top 5:

1. CARMEN MARC VALVO Sleeveless Lace Shutter Gown
Just because an evening dress is long, doesn’t mean it has to be plain and simple. This Carmen Marc Valvo Dress breaks up the single colour with inserts of delicate floral lace breaking up the tiers of airy organza.
2. ARIELLA Zhanna Gown
In one of this season’s on-trend colour, this powder blue stretch moss crepe dress moulds beautifully to the body to create the perfect silhouette with this tailored fishtail evening dress. The spectacular neck trim adds to this stunning style, which is definitely one to get you noticed at your special event. Why not check out all our Ariella dresses?
3. NLY Chloe Dress Navy
This evening dress is simple at the front, but has an open back with gorgeous embellishment covering the back straps of the dress as well as the neckline – subtle sparkle that is enough to ensure you look fabulous!
4. BADGLEY MISCHKA Ombre Burst Gown
We have a gorgeous range of Badgley Mischka evening dresses and this one is a gorgeous bright colour for summer, that oozes sex appeal with a side slit that will definitely ensure you’re centre of attention at any evening event!
5. CARMEN MARC VALVO Iridescent Chiffon Gown
This evening dress is more conservative and classic, while still being contemporary and chic. This designer dress has cap sleeves and a structured wrapped bodice – there’s no doubt you’ll look amazing in this flowing chiffon gown!
We hope these evening dress ideas have inspired you to find a reason to wear one! Enjoy finding the dress of your dreams!

Continuing with our new blog series of Stylists having their say on the GMD blog, today we’re picking the mind of Kalee Hewlett. Kalee is a fashion and celebrity stylist and has worked in the industry for many years. Throughout this time she has worked on feature films; television; commercials; pop promos and now sits herself firmly within the fashion and presenting arena. Kalee’s talents have led her into styling for a range of international fashion titles and personal styling for a number of prominent TV personalities.
She answered a few of our questions:
How would you describe your style?
Eclectic and diverse. My style can very much depend on my mood and what I’m doing that day. I love prints and interesting pieces, I love to rummage through vintage shops to find original one off pieces. Generally my style is very much boho meets rock.
What’s your fashion loves and hates?
Fashion loves – anything with embellishment and sequins and I’m partial to a good hat!
Hates – is there really anything to hate about fashion? Each to their own. Fashion is fun!
 What advice would you have for anyone wanting to get into styling?
Make sure it’s what you really want to do because you will have to throw everything into it. You need to be driven, self disciplined, determined and most of all believe in yourself. If you have all of these ingredients and you’re really hungry for it, get as much experience as you possibly can in the industry, network at every given opportunity and stay true to yourself.
 Where do you get your inspiration from?
Everywhere and everything. Creation is all around us. Street style has become a huge influence now. I travel a lot which really feeds my inspiration.
Name one item no stylist should live without?
An A4 diary to assist with organising that busy schedule of yours!
 What is your favourite SS14 trend?
Lace – so happy to see the return of lace again this season. So intricate, beautiful delicate and feminine.
