How to Wear: Long Sleeved Dresses

As we move into those cold winter days and long winter nights the pressure is on to look good without feeling miserably cold by what will inevitably be increasingly bad English weather.  Winter events can always put some stress on what to wear when you want to look good without exposing yourself to the elements.  However, long sleeved dresses are the perfect way to steal a bit of warmth while still looking glam.  Whether you choose long sleeves or three-quarter sleeves, you’re sure to be suitably stylish in some of our long-sleeved dresses.

 

For a glitzy occasion we love America Retro’s Luna Dress.  This silver paillette covered dress will sparkle all night long.  Its padded shoulders provide an Oscar worthy structure that will ensure your look remains glamorous from start to finish.  Perfect for the colder months, the Luna dress has long sleeves so you won’t be required to take a coat.  Team with black tights for those extra cold evenings, show-stopping platforms and a simple clutch and all your missing is the cocktail.

 

 

For an ultra glamorous frock, we love Thakoon Addiction’s Jersey Dress.  In black jersey, the ruching down the front allows this dress to cling to your body in all the right places.  Its v-neck and tulip hem gives it just the right amount of sophistication allowing you that chic and elegant look with minimal exertion.  Its long sleeves ensure this dress is perfect for the holiday season.    Team it with black platforms and a clutch with a pop of colour for a wow-effect.

 

 

Finally we have Christopher Kane’s Yellow Orchid Dress.  Treat yourself to a piece of art with this bold number.  Its long sleeves and body-con fit, makes this frock the perfect choice for any cocktail event.  Team with black tights, ankle boots and a  white clutch for a fashion forward look.

 

 


Girls on Dresses: Olivia Phillips from mynewfavouritething.com on Cocktail and Designer Dresses

 

Olivia Phillips of mynewfavouritething.com gives us an insight into the past, present and future designer dresses she’s crazy about.  Here we take a peek into the wardrobe of this London fashionista to find out all about her favourite things…

 

Your first ever dress was:

A Kermit-green number covered in giant hot pink polka dots that came with a little matching jacket. Ah, the 80s. I think it must’ve cost a fortune as one of my earliest memories was my Dad manically scrubbing pen marks out of it in a desperate bid for my mum not to find out.

 

Your oldest dress:

A tailored grey wool-silk pencil dress with bra straps from Joseph that my mum bought me when I was 14. I’m pretty chuffed that I can still fit into it. Just. The wonder of Spanx, eh?

 

Your most expensive dress:

A white ruffled Temperley cocktail dress. It has tiered scalloped edging and plaited straps – it’s utterly beautiful!

 

Seen the most dancefloors:

A scandalously tight bright purple bandage dress from Reiss.

 

Favourite dress:

My silk-jersey Elizabeth and James LBD. It’s 4 dresses in one, really – you can wear it sleeveless, strapless, asymmetric or off-the-shoulder and every which way it looks amazing. I’ve had it mistaken for Lanvin, too which can never be a bad thing!

 

What was the last event you wore a dress to and what did you wear?

My birthday! I wore a bright orange draped H&M number that looks straight out of Studio 54. I paired it with sky-high leopard-print platforms and too much gold jewellery. And I wore it in the daytime, too. Well, if you can’t overdress on your birthday, when can you?

Mini or Maxi?

I love mini dresses but don’t like my legs so I wear maxis quite a lot. I like the sense of drama they create, too. Rachel Zoe can rock a maxi like noone else.

 

Who are your red carpet idols?

Ashley Olsen, Diane Kruger, Eva Mendes, SJP. None of them are afraid to experiment and they also all know what suits them and what will photograph well.

 

Who always gets it right?

Very few people! Christine Centenera and Miroslava Duma are two of my ultimates – can’t hurt that they’re both fashion editors!

 

What is your most memorable dress moment?

Probably my cousin’s wedding when I was maid of honour. I know the day was all about her, but I still felt like a princess walking down the aisle after her in my floor-sweeping cobalt Tibi gown and red Louboutins.

 

Which dress would be top of your Girl Meets Dress lust list?

There are so many! It’s a tie between the sapphire Gorgeous Couture Harlow maxi and the Alice + Olivia blush mini wrap Goddess dress. I think I could get into a whole world of trouble in either. In a good way, of course.

 

 

As someone who always has a new event to attend – how would Girl Meets Dress complement your life?

I’m so fickle, get bored of trends so easily, am constantly on the hunt for the next thing – it’s part of the reason I called my blog My New Favourite Thing. A service like GMD instantly solves all my bratty problems – ingenious!

 


‘Unique’ party dresses top priority for wedding guests in poll

The results are in and it seems that standing out from the crowd is the main priority for Girl Meets Dress fans when choosing a formal dress for a wedding.

We asked you the question: “Which three are most important to you when dressing for a wedding?â€

‘Looking unique’ came out on top, with 35.4% of the votes. It’s every woman’s worst nightmare – you arrive at the wedding, all glammed up feeling fabulous, only to find that someone else is wearing the exact same dress – oh the shame! Renting a unique designer dress, instead of buying a mass-produced high street replica, can help avoid any potential cringe-factor.

In the poll results, ‘uniqueness’ was closely followed by the need for your party dress to be suitable for both day and night, scooping 27.5% of the votes. Budget was the next important consideration with 15.7%, followed by wearing designer (11.8%) and seeking style advice (9.6%).

We’re just wondering whether anyone showed up at Robbie Williams and Ayda Field’s big day dressed the same? One thing’s for sure – it was definitely a unique, unconventional affair with reports indicating that they had dogs as bridesmaids, fry-ups at 1am and guests being made to believe they were attending a James Bond themed party until just moments before the ceremony began! Only Robbie.

Girl Meets Dress is perfect for weddings and avoids that awkward same dress scenario – rent a fabulous wedding guest dress for a fraction of the price, but for maximum individuality.
