This was the week that we offered free delivery to celebrate the royal birth, started uploading photos to www.wiwt.com (using the tag Girl Meets Dress) and welcomed new dress arrivals including Stella McCartney and Christopher Kane. Not a bad week!

Starting her blog at uni and soon turning it into a hobby, Jemma Lamble is known to many as Floral Etiquette – http://floral-etiquette.blogspot.co.uk/. The 21-year-old covers both fashion and beauty and has made quite a name for herself in the blogging world. Here she takes us through her top 5 cocktail dresses to rent online.
Alice and Olivia Papina Dress – £49
This is just the most perfect cocktail party dress to hire for summer. I really fall in love with ladylike styles and bright colours and this nearly fluorescent number looks like it would real emphasise your good bits. I would love to wear this with a chic white clutch bag!
Marc by Marc Jacobs Tootsie Print Dress – £69
I am instantly drawn to the print of this cocktail dress and find the ruched neckline a really interesting aspect in design. It’s so whimsical and girly which is my style completely. I can see this looking exceptionally endearing with some vivid pink platforms.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Drew Print
Dress – £39
I couldn’t declare myself a true floral princess if I didn’t admire this cocktail dress greatly. I think the subtle distressed floral pattern really does the simple cut of the dress justice. Although I usually become hesitant when it comes to peplums, I could really see myself making this dress work due to the print alone.
Alice and Olivia Candice Print
Dress – £49
I firmly believe that if you’ve got lemons make lemonade, and this dress certainly makes me want to do just that. This is the most delectable cocktail dress with such a novel print. I adore yellow dresses in the summer; this unique fresh-looking pattern is perfect to act careless and free while soaking up the British summer!
Erdem Etta Print Dress – £109Â
Erdem reflects more of my sophisticated grown up side to fashion with its cosmopolitan flair. What I love with Erdem though, is that I am still able to flaunt my floral nature with a cute flowers-in-bloom esque print. This cocktail dress would really compliment a night in the city while sipping on a martini.

Continuing with our most popular cities this month it’s Oxford’s turn. Hire designer evening dresses anywhere in the UK with next day delivery!
Cocktail Session:
The Duke of Cambridge
The royal birth well and truly got us in the mood for celebration, and what better place to do it then in a bar named after Prince George’s dad. Serving arguably the best cocktails in Oxford, you’ll need a selection of great occasion dresses for your night out. Try one of our party dresses like Christopher Kane’s Lemon Bloom Dress or the McQ by Alexander McQueen Fire Knit Dress.
Early Dinner:
Turl Street Kitchen
Fairly new to the block, the Turl Street Kitchen has made quite a name for itself in such a short space of time. This restaurant offers healthy, fresh and affordable food whilst donating all its profits to the Oxford Hub, its sister charity. Dress the part with one of our short evening dresses like the Miu Miu Silk Tiered dress or the Marlene Birger Coralla dress.
First Date:
The Ultimate Picture Palace
The Ultimate Picture Palace is Oxford’s oldest and only independent cinema. It shows films ranging from new releases to old classics and is a truly special night out. Hire red evening dresses like our Carven Red Draped dress for your date or try our Alice and Olivia Tabitha Print dress.

This week GMD loves Henry Holland’s new pop-up store – which just so happens to be an ice cream van. The technicolor van, titled “Mr Quiffy†after Holland’s signature hair-do, will be a mobile pop-up store selling House of Holland limited edition collection. Here at Girl Meets Dress we can never pass on a good ice cream or a good purchase, so it’s the perfect combination of both. We just hope the queues
aren’t too long!
