THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS DRESS

This week on The Chrissy B Show the theme was Christmas cocktail dresses. Looking at the trends these holidayseason expect bold colours, shiny detailed fabrics including sequins and beadwork and elegant lace outfits with sheer panelling.

Host Chrissy B is wearing a silver Vivienne Westwood Aztec dress. The two-toned silver brocade fabric and asymmetrical cut and special draping really make this dress an “all-out” choice for that festive get together. The dress is the centre of attention and so minimal jewellery and footwear are needed. Heels by Sam Edelman.

I went for an evening gown by Diane von Furstenberg in a gorgeous dark blue. The silhouette is very 1970′s, so perfect if you want to channel a specific decade on your big night out.
The draping detail at the front of the gown is great for hiding any unwanted bulges in the stomach area, thus providing a slimming effect. This dress also makes the most of someone with a smaller bust. Wear with open toe stilettos and silver jewellery for a chic elegant look.

Maegan is wearing a dress inspired by Kate Middleton’s recent appearance at The Royal Variety Show, where she showed up wearing a gorgeous black lace Diane von Furstenberg Zarita short cocktail dress. I chose gold lace for the holiday season. I’ve paired the dress with statement gold sparkly heels to complete the look.

Sheer lace panelling is pure feminine elegance and looks great with hair swept off face and shoulders to showcase lace detailing around the neckline.
This style of dress fits all body shapes, looks great on ladies of all ages and can be worn year round. A true “staple” in your wardrobe!
