As much as I [openly] despair of Autumn / Winter & its lousy weather, I do love the onset of Christmas Party Season and all the celebrating and festive nights out this time of year brings. I can't stop shopping for & looking at party dresses at the moment - I've found myself scrolling and favouriting festive season fashion constantly over the past week or so... and may or may not have [definitely did] blown a small fortune on new bits. #YOLO.
And yes, I'm aware people probably don't say that anymore and most likely never really did; but I'm sticking with it.
If you've got special occasions, hot dates you'll totes need a new little black dress for [amiright?], parties, New Year celebrations and the full month of boozing December brings each year on the horizon, there's never been a better time to get yo online shop on. Which is exactly what I've been up to - and the reason why I'm bringing you this lil wishlist of party dress must-haves with Very.co.uk today!
I can't flipping wait for an excuse to paint the town red - hellooooo party season! So I decided to pick out a few dance floor dresses that've taken my fancy to share in this post [all from Very] ... and wept over their beauty for a few minutes hours in the process. With brands such as Little Mistress, Topshop, River Island, Michelle Keegan, Lavish Alice and V By Very; they've got our backs.
I've ordered through Very myself many times... it's one of my favourite ways to get high quality brands affordably; with super quick delivery and a huge selection to choose from. Very.co.uk sellsmore than 1,800 famous brands in fact... from Adidas, Apple and River Island to Samsung, Superdry and UGG. They also offer Collect+ delivery [which I love] - something that makes collecting parcels so much more convenient - you choose the location your goodies will be delivered to, get notified when they're there and go and pick them up whenever suits you. Which is ideal if you work long, unsociable hours.
ANYWAY. Before I get derailed weeping over something else, let's crack on with my top party dress picks for AW19. My picks are a mix of standard, petite & plus size picks, so hopefully there's something for most tastes in my choices.

Second image, L-R | Little Mistress Petite Shimmer Midi Dress £80, V by Very Curve Sequin Check Tunic £65, Chi Chi London Bayra Dress £65
HOW BADASS IS THAT FIRST DRESS?! Flattering, sparkly and the nicest colour. I love sequins during party season [and all-year round really let's not lie... I'm like a giant tanned magpie, and only slightly less annoying] and all these shimmery, party-esque styles have got me going [moderately] wild. I've gone for mostly dresses which fall below the knee in these first two collages... which is unlike me, who normally embraces a 'just-over-me-arse' approach... but they look so classy & stylish that they've swayed my decision making.

Second image, L-R | Chi Chi London Benita Dress £65, AX PARIS CURVE Dip Hem Animal Satin Dress £48, Little Mistress Gunmetal Pleated Midi Dress £75
I AM LIVING FOR ALL THESE NAVY, GUN METAL, SATINY FABRICS HUNS. And dem greens. Something a bit different for the party season - and all effortlessly dressy / glam. That dusky pink Little Mistress skater dress is breathtakingly pretty & delicate... I'm defo not petite, but for you gals that are, please enjoy and represent it on my behalf.

I think I've saved my two favourite collages till last tbh. The colours & amounts of sequins in these two makes even me [the most miserable old crank in the North West] almost feel a bit festive & cheery. Everyone needs a bit of sequin action in their lives over Christmas - and those reds, green tones & burgundies have got me practically salivating. That Chi Chi dress in the centre of the second image is just too stunning for my smol mind to deal with.
Two of my friends wore Chi Chi dresses to a wedding we all attended recently; and the quality, fit and stunningly structured shapes this brands' pieces boast are pretty much unparalleled - I can vouch for that. Whereas I couldn't get the zip up on my el cheapo dress for ages 😂

What do you think of my picks? Would you wear any of these party dresses? Will you be placing an order with Very this Christmas?
