Performances to Remember: Leeds Grand Theatre

The Leeds Grand Theatre and Opera House was built in 1878 in a backlash to the music hall tradition which was thought by ‘polite society’ to lower the tone of entertainment via the sort of humour presented in these pub-based establishments.
The theatre was built on a site of approximately three quarters of an acre with a frontage on New Briggate of 56 yards, including the Assembly Rooms.
The theatre cost a total of £62,000 and took 13 months to build. The architect, George Corson, was heavily influenced by his assistant James Robertson Watson who had undertaken a tour of Europe’s churches and theatres.
Many of the design inspirations came from these continental influences, in particular the gothic, ecclesiastical spires. The exterior is in a mixture of Romanesque and Scottish baronial styles, while the interior has such gothic motifs as fan-vaulting and clustered columns.
The first performance at the theatre was Much Ado About Nothing on 18 November 1878 and stars that have trodden the boards over the years have included Sarah Bernhardt, Ellen Terry, Julie Andrews, Felicity Kendal, Morecambe and Wise and Laurence Olivier.
The Grand Theatre celebrated the 125th anniversary of its opening in 2003. It is widely regarded as a major milestone in Victorian theatre building.

The cold season is here, the nights have become longer, and the time to go back into our wardrobes to find those warm coats and rain boots, has also arrived. Even though boots and warm coats are great allies for the everyday life, when it comes to Black Tie events, a bit more preparation is highly advised. As you may know, Girl Meets Dress anticipates all your needs, and that is why we have created a special list of dresses that you can impress with at your next Black Tie event!

Sleeves:

Because not all of us dare to bare it all in Winter! Whether that is your excuse or not, a long sleeve dress will guarantee you both elegance and sophistication whilst not having to go through the stages of hypothermia.

          

Dynasty Molly Gown

Gorgeous Couture Ida Dress

Dynasty Delina Dress

Strapless:

The strapless dress is a great look if you always aim to look your sexiest. If the November rain is not an issue, then get camera ready, as with this group of dresses you are to get your own little red carpet moment!

  

Swing Strapless Cocktail Dress

Ariella Catherine Gown

Ariella Scarlet Gown

Black:

Classic and eternal are probably the two best words to describe the ‘black’ look. Add a little jewellery to these dresses and you are guaranteed to win the title of ‘most elegant woman of the night’.

     

NLY Pamela Long Dress

Carmen Marc Valvo Crepe Halter Gown

Alice and Olivia Chantilly Lace Peplum Dress

Bold:

If ‘bold’ is the look you are going for, and ‘daring’ is the best compliment someone can give to your outfit, then this is your category. This selection of dresses will allow you to never look dull. Be it with a bright splash of colour, or a little dash of gold, your edginess will have no limits.

 

Virgos Lounge Ivana Maxi Dress

Unique Mirabel Grey Gown

Opulence England Gold Sequin Prom Dress

Halloween is fast approaching and whilst most of us won’t be attending Heidi Klum’s famous party, we all love a good excuse to go out and dress up!

Worry not, we have got your dress sorted! Girl Meets Dress loves this time of the year as so many of you reach out to us and asks us for some extra help. If you are not the experimental type and always aim to look sophisticated no matter the occasion, this post is for you.

The Devil:

A classic Halloween go-to. Stand out from the rest of the devils with our pick of red designer dresses to hire. This Carven Red Draped Dress is perfect for its bright stand out colour. We’re also loving this Gogeous Couture Paige Jumpsuit if you’re looking for something a little more edgy. Finally we have this classic Herve Leger V-neck Bondage Dress, its daring cut will make heads turn. Just don’t forget to add a pair of horns!

                                

Princess:

For those of you who love to dress up, but not keen on a scary look. Why not go as a princess? We’ve picked out our favourite sparkly gowns that will definitely have you looking the belle of the ball! First up is the Opulence England Gold Sequinned Prom Dress. The full skirt and all over sequin design is a must have for any princess wannabe! Next, is this gorgeous Dynasty Gold Jasmin Gown  which is a perfect fairytale fit. Finally, the Forever Unique Jemima Dress with its beautifully beaded bodice. Grab a tiara (and maybe a prince) and make sure you’re home before the final strike of midnight.

           

Catwoman:

For those of you who would like to follow the mysterious allure of Halloween night. Catwoman is the alter ego you want to go for. First up is the Supertrash Darling Dress which oozes catwoman appeal with its size split. Also we’re loving the mesh on this  NLY Hallow Dress. Last up is the AX Paris Sequin Wrap Dress which speaks for itself. Order quickly before someone else steals your idea.

                             

Wimbledon finals are just around the corner, which means what?? You’ve guessed it.. it’s time for another outfit choice!

Whether you’re going to the actual tournament, watching it on the big screens or just viewing from the comfort of your sofa, its an opportunity to style it up.

Luckily for us, the dress code is nowhere near as rigid as that of the Henley’s. Apart from looking good, its important to stay comfortable through sun, rain and whatever else UK weather decides to curse (or bless?) us with.
Go ahead and cheer on Murray, Federer, The Williams sisters and all your other favorite players in the adorable outfits below!

Malene Birger, Zullah Dress (£39)

NLY, White Shirt Dress (£12)

Victoria Beckham, Wrap Linen Dress (£129)

MSGM, Gloria Dress (£59)
