It’s nearing that time of year when companies down tools for a few hours, crack open the Pimms and entertain their staff and clients at their annual summer parties, and choosing the right cocktail dress is crucial.
Whilst it’s a chance for everyone to let their hair down a bit and get to know each other outside of the routine work setting, it’s also an opportunity for you to do some networking and impress the right people. Here we give you a few tips on choosing the right cocktail dress to make a lasting impression for all the right reasons:
1. Keep it classy
Think formal dress, think Coco, think Keira Knightly, think Olivia Palermo. These stylish ladies ooze sophistication and at a corporate function, you’ll want to be taken seriously.
We’re not advising head-to-toe coverage, but do avoid showing too much flesh – no matter how toned your legs are, or how big your cup size, less is always more at a corporate get-together.
2. Show personality
Whilst it’s important to dress appropriately amongst workmates, your choice of outfit says a lot about you as a person. Don’t be afraid of opting for current trends, such as asymmetric shapes or wearing bright colours, particularly the ones that you know suit you. You natural female instinct will tell you when something is a bit too risky.
3. Stay in your comfort zone
There’s nothing more off-putting than a hemline that won’t stay put, a strap that’s just a little bit too loose or feeling conscious about what you’re wearing. When you’re talking to important clients or influential bosses your attention should be fixed firmly on the topic of conversation. Choose a dress in a shape that’s familiar to your body and make sure it fits. Being comfortable will give you one less thing to worry about, so that you can focus on impressing those around you and bagging that promotion!
GMD makes high fashion affordable by housing a range of designer dresses to rent. You can even try them on in the weeks before your party to make sure it fits and that you feel comfortable. Whether you’re fun and outgoing or quiet and reserved, let GMD help you find the perfect dress for your staff party.

Glasgow, Manchester, Essex and Edingburgh have been the most popular destinations for dress hire this month with Glasgow being twice as popular as Essex.
Over the last few weeks we have been noticing quite a few fashion trends, or shall we say Dress Hire trends, most notably about destinations. So much so that we’ve decided to celebrate our top City every month in a series of posts exclusively about that city. What a treat.
So…what’s been happening in Glasgow you ask?
Well…
We’ve been sending quite a few Ball gowns and Asymetric Dresses over to Glasgow and upon a bit of investigation it turns out that low and behold Glasgow has this last month celebrated the Scottish Fashion Awards, Glam in the City AND the West End Festival. Quite a bit of things to look faboulus for indeed.
The Scottish Fashion Awards seem to have gone down very well with pop stars like Paolo Nutini (from Puma advert song “New Shoes” fame) and Diana Vickers (Singer of “Once” – very fun summery song for getting in the mood) joining fashion designers including Jonathan Saunders and Amanda Wakeley in the fifth anniversary of the awards in Glasgow.
Glasgow School of Art graduate Saunders took the top prize of the night, Designer of the Year – Go Jonathan!, while up-and-coming talent Holly Fulton, whose work appeared in Sex And The City 2, was voted Young Designer of the Year, come-on the girls! (ps: Hire dresses from Sex and the city film here).
Other than that what about Glam in the City?
Glam in the City is a Scottish festival which every year picks a Miss Scotland and gives women of all ages the chance to get clued up on everything they need to look their best, be it Sunbed advice or Handbag analysis….yes it turns out their is such a thing……
So there you have it Glasgow is Girl Meets Dress’ Dress Hire destination of the month.
Stay tuned!
ps: Turns out the West End Festival is a bit of a weird one, not very glamourus at all, more of a fun outdoor family thing.

With Glastonbury in full swing we were standing around the coffee machine this pm wondering which dress each of our favourite artists would be. With so many to choose from we thought we would narrow it down to which occassion each of our celebrities would hire a dress for and make a collection of posts every week. e.g. Lily Allen would be a sexy casual type of dress hire like Party Dresses or Cocktail Dresses … o and nearly forgot of course Celebrity Dresses as well of course.
So, I’ll start this week with my favourite of them all Lily Allen:
Lily Allen: Singer
About:Birth name: Lily Rose Beatrice Allen
Born: 2 May 1985Â (age 25)
HQ: Hammersmith, London
Recent press: Lily Allen has been very busy these past few months working on leaving the music industry behind. Press suggests she is about to start a vintage store Lucy in Disguise later this year and that Channel 4 will be filming it…so keep an ear out.
Dressing occasion: Glamour Solo Artist of the Year Award.
While her dress was very nice
Exhibit A: Courtesey of Mail Online

This other one might have really stolen some limelight – While still staying true to her long black dress theme this Dinar Bar-El > Greta Dress has been highly sought after for red carpet events already.
