It's getting to that time of year again, when twinkling lights are going up around the town and the smell of Christmas is in the air.  That means one thing, Christmas balls and parties are on the horizon.  Which in turn means the hunt for the perfect Christmas party dress.  I was recently introduced to Aviva Dress, an online store that sells an array of evening dresses that are perfect for Christmas.  At such great prices there's no reason you can't feel super glamorous in beautiful cocktail dresses.  Here are just a few of my picks for the Christmas party season.

Red


If there's one colour that really makes me feel Christmas-y when it comes to dresses it's red.  With Rudolph's nose and Santa's suit it is a colour we automatically associate with Christmas and probably pretty much the only time I've worn a red dress.  I especially love the middle dress, it has such a lovely flattering neckline and would be perfect for dinner out as well as a Christmas party.

White

Now, I think white dresses can be a little hard to pull off, especially floor length gowns which can look a little wedding-y.  However I love the idea of a snowy white dress and the embellishment on these to long dresses make them look a little less bridal and a little more party.

Black

Then there's the classic black dress.  When I think of classic dresses for Christmas I instantly picture something black and gold.  Black to me is an all time classic and what is Christmas without a little twinkle of gold.  That's why I picked this sequin dress because for me if there's ever a time you can get away with a dress covered in sequins, it's Christmas.

Navy

Another classic colour to me is navy and a great alternative if you want to try another colour besides black and aren't quite brave enough for brighter colours such as red.  Adorned with sequins and beads these navy dresses are perfect for Christmas.

Aviva Dress have a style to suit every single body shape and size and also offer custom made dresses for a small fee of £9.99.  This is perfect if like me you have a bigger bust and small waist and find it hard to find form fitting formal dresses that fit perfectly.  I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you're on the hunt for a beautiful dress.

What colour and style of dress will you be opting for this Christmas?

Havren is a fairly new London based design studio, founded in 2012, whose collection is inspired by a love of strong silhouettes and colours, whilst ensuring their pieces are wearable and feminine.  Their Autumn/Winter collection is fashion forward with feminine silhouettes of bold shift dresses and floaty tea dresses.  The collection also features a lovely selection of soft cashmere knitwear.  Here are just a few of my favourites from their online store...

 

 

If, like me, you love a good bargain then eFoxcity is the site for you.  I only very recently discovered the China based online retailer and I was very impressed with their range of clothing, mainly consisting of women's clothing, cheap homecoming dresses and prom dresses, and with prom season fast approaching if you need a dress eFoxcity is definitely worth a browse.  They have a gorgeous selection at a fraction of the price of your average prom dress.

 

The main thing about this site that caught my eye is the prices.  They just scream "Bargain!" at me, with many of the women's clothing pieces costing a mere £10 or less.  For example, the little white lace mini dress I have picked out above is a bargainous £7.62 and the pretty little collar necklace will only set you back the tiny amount of £3.53.  What's not to love?
