Red velvet for a Christmas party
It’s Christmas. It’s party time and I need a saucy red dress that’s going to stop traffic. Where shall I look? Where shall I go? OK let’s start with shopbop and whammo first pitch and a home run. Whoops, wrong season! Anyway I have found my winter party dress, it’s a Jill Stuart Jaclyn Strapless velvet dress with sweetheart neckline and underwire at cups. Bow detail and ruching at waist. Hidden zipper at back. S-o-o-o pretty. Lovely and short and perfect in every way for holiday parties. Something else? You’re in a wild mood, I can tell. OK then this one is another Jill Stuart in peacock green silk. A little more trad with a lower hemline. But you know what, It’s a very beautiful dress and you would definitely make a splash in it. Could catch the Managing Director’s eye (if you care!).
