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?

Amie Gee is a student at Manchester Metropolitan University studying International Fashion Marketing. She currently runs Fashion Is Our Religion which focuses on fashion trends, new collections, styling as well as beauty and events. Here Amie talks us through her top 5 cocktail dresses to hire online.
This
cocktail dress from Alice and Olivia is the perfect little number for the upcoming party season; it just wouldn’t be complete without glitz and glamour! I adore the shimmery pale gold sequins, which make it ideal to wear for after hours cocktail events or at Christmas parties. This
cocktail dress with it’s high neck and long sleeves is understated but sexy at the same time with cut out mesh detailing on the back; a classy way of showing off some skin. Just team with simple black ankle boots and accessories for a sultry yet edgy look.
This collection of
cocktail dresses wouldn’t be complete without a little black dress or two! The first is a classic shift dress from By Malene Birger. Another sparkly number that caught my eye, but with much simpler styling with embellished sleeves and a strip of embellishment down the front; the delicate hint of sparkle just makes the dress stand out of the crowd from your standard LBDs. With full length sleeves, keyhole fastening and a mini flared hemline, this is a chic and flattering cocktail dress that will look perfect with metallic high heels and matching accessories.
Underwear as outerwear has been one of the biggest trends and has graced numerous catwalks this year. Nicole Miller has encapsulated this
trend into one dress and I have fallen completely in love with it. This
cocktail dress is adorned in beautiful black lace detailing with scalloped edges that compliments the nude fabric underneath. This
cocktail dress looks like it has sauntered straight out of the boudoir and oozes sex appeal and romanticism. Pair with some sky high leather ankle boots and jacket to punk up this outfit for this season’s latest pretty/tough trend.
Versace is quintessentially known for its bold prints and extravagant embellishments, more is always more! Versace doesn’t disappoint with this stand-out LBD. The gold embellishment is reminiscent of Gatsby’s 1920’s which pairs nicely with Versace’s ethos of opulence and glamour. Wear with simple accessories and barely there heels as this
cocktail dress makes the statement all by itself.
Last but not least is this sophisticated Diane Von Furstenberg dress. This is the perfect versatile piece that can be worn from day to night. With draping in all the right places this
cocktail dress will skim over all your curves and makes it the ideal dress for any body shape. In a luxurious raspberry colour, this ultra feminine yet simplistic dress will be a hit at the office as well as after hours, If you have no time to head back home before an event, this is the ideal
cocktail dress for you; just bring a change of dressier accessories, a statement lipstick and you are ready to go!
