ball dress

By Anna Bance, Co-Founder of Girl Meets Dress
I don’t know about you, but I love wearing red dresses at this time of the year.
Last week I wore this Carven red bodycon dress for a night out at The Box in Soho,London.

Tomorrow night I plan to wear this red lace dress by HONOR GOLD to a dinner. I love trying the new dresses which arrive at Girl Meets Dress HQ and lace is everywhere as a trend right now. I find I am choosing more dresses with sleeves for evening events as they are more comfortable and warm without needing to add a jacket or shawl.

Below are some of my favourite red dresses from our red dress collection section on the website. And for the younger customers, why not use our special Advance Try on service to try on some on some potential red prom dresses in advance of your special night.

The Fairy Godmothers, aka The GMD style team, have done it again. They’ve come up with a totally gorgeous collection of ball gowns they highly recommend just for you!
The NLY Finale Dress
This ball gown has a real slinky feel about it and the drape back ensures a fun and flirty detail. Long hair, an up-do, how would you style your hair for this dress? Well after much deliberation from Team GMD, they decided that it depends how smart the ball is – up for a sit down dinner ball and down for a wild night on the dance floor.
The NLY Iza Dress
Prepare to sparkle in this dress! NLY has done it again, The Iza fastens with a halter neck detail, cut at the back in a way that highlights the shoulder blades. The stone embellished neckline and bust catches the light. Everyone’s eyes will be on you in the stunning black ball gown!
Little Mistress Maxi Purple Dress
Fancy a little colour in your ball gown? Look no further than this very sparkly purple gown from Little Mistress. This prom dress cinches in the waist and accentuates it. Wear it to prom and you’d definitely get our vote for prom queen!

With the party season approaching, we’re always on the look out for something a little different here at GMD HQ. One of our new brands NLY offers incredible pieces in a wide range of colours – and with details such as beading and lace, there really is something out there for everyone. DKNY is also a new designer at casa GMD; known for its classic designs and incredibly flattering structure, we welcomed it with open arms like an old friend. Gorgeous Couture is a firm favourite with customers old and new, who rave about GC’s structure; “fits like a glove†has been mentioned numerous times about these dresses.

Keeping it long, black and simple, the DKNY Cleo Dress features a cheeky side slit for your ‘Angelina’ moments. A sure choice for celebs, we recently spotted Kate Beckinsale wearing a version of our long black dress in red. Teaming it with simple accessories, Kate really knows how to rock this dress. Kate you’re an inspiration – we salute you!


NLY Chloe Dress Pink is the perfect tone of baby pink for an evening dress. This shade compliments the skin and the crystals reflect the light off the décolleté. The nipped in waist is highlighted at the back by the straps that skim past each other, meeting in the middle, showing off the shoulders. This really is an elegant dress.


Our stylists recommend going all out with this Gorgeous Couture Lacey Maxi Dress and vamping it up with red lipstick. Black is a classic long ball dress, but what about trying a long maxi dress in midnight blue? The Lacey is floor length and sure to stand out from the crowd thanks to its unique hue and crystal waist detail.

We had to feature the Gorgeous Couture Harlow Maxi Dress in gold as soon as we hung it up in our office wardrobe. It is simply stunning, and as one of the new GC dresses, it’s already a definite winner. It’s in high demand due to the beautiful gold colour it comes in. The floor length dress is also swathed in GC’s signature material that is designed to give a draped effect. We love all our maxi dresses, but there is something very special about this dress!

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.
