French Connection Aztek Beads Dress in Black
The French Connection Aztek Beads Dress is a party dress with a scoop neck and short sleeves. The dress is brown (“Far East”) with all over horizontal lines and patterns in white, grey and bronze.
The dress is fully lined, but the lining is shorter than the dress exposing a sheer hemline.
It is available in sizes UK 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16
Fabric and care: 100% polyester; dry clean only.
Code : 71BR6
Length: 82.6cm / 32.6″ (all measurements are approximate)
Style note: This is a cute party dress which is easy to wear and offers a sexy flash of thigh thanks to the sheer hemline. Add evening glamour with a faux fur collar shrug such as French Connection’s Maud Fur Crop Jacket, or perhaps Vivienne Westwood’s Faux Fur Collar Jacket and a pair of plaform booties.

French Connection Winter Bex Beads Dress in Red or Navy (Ink)
There are two versions of the French Connection Winter Bex Beads Dress and this is the sleeveless one. The version with sleeves can be found here.
This version of the French Connection Winter Bex Beads Dress is a sleeveless, above the knee dress with bead and sequin embellishment to the front and back. Made from pure silk, the dress is fully lined and has a hidden zip fastening at the back.

Style note: The Bex Beads dress is a classic French Connection dress which appears in different guises each season. And this season there are two to choose from! It’s easy to see why this dress is an enduring and popular design as it is made from pure silk and embellished with beads and sequins in the most creative way possible. I think that French Connection get more and more creative with their embellishment of this dress. Great for evening and party wear, team it with towering heels, a sparkly clutch and perhaps a faux fur shrug for maximum glamour.

Forever Unique Stardust Dress as worn by Selena Gomez
Forever Unique Stardust Dress in Nude
The Forever Unique Stardust Dress, as seen recently on Selena Gomez and Amelia Lily from the X Factor, is a pretty in nude pink prom dress with a boned bodice with built in cups, which provides a sweetheart neckline. The bodice is embellished with mirror jewels and bugel beads, and it has a lace up fastening at the back. The skirt is made from layers of tulle net in nude, ivory and gold. The hemline is wired for shape, and the dress has a concealed side zip fastening – so you don’t have to keep lacing up the back.
The dress is hand embellished so each one is slightly different.

Available in sizes UK 6, 8, 10 and 12 and plus sizes 16, 18, 20 and 22.
Fabric and care: 100% polyester, professional spot clean only.
Length: from underarm: 68cm / (all measurements are approximate)
Style note: Absolutely divine and no need to wear a separate bra with this one, the Stardust will leave your head in the clouds as you dance the night away. Look for accessories in either nude pink or sparkly silver. Nude heels will make your legs look longer anyway so it’s always worth having a pair in your wardrobe. Some dangly silver earrings, perhaps set with Swarovkski crystal, would really make a great finishing touch.

All Saints Mallu Chain Dress in Bitter and Black
The All Saints Mallu Chain Dress is a silk, sleeveless, above the knee strappy dress with a v neck and stunning low cut back with multi chain embellishment.
The dress is made from washed silk which has been over dyed. Further embellishment is provided by peacocks, birds and flowers created from a combination of matt and shiny beads and sequins.
Available in UK sizes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14.
Material: 100% silk
Style note: This is an amazing dress with superb attention to detail. The most stunning detail is the back and the resplendent chain detail, but if you need to wear a bra you will have to look at some of the more innovative concealed options (I find “liftits” to be very useful in these circumstances!) This dress gives you a really sleek and sophisticated silhouette.
Complete the look with the All Saints Elsa Chain Clutch in black – it’s such a great match it must have been designed with the Mallu in mind – and a pair of heels – the Omega in black, also by All Saints, are rather stylish.

Available in sizes UK 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.
Fabric and Care: 100% viscose; dry clean only
Code: 71CS4
Style note: This is a sensational, sexy and sparkly dress. The ornate sequins and beading are fabulously created and this dress looks very different to other sequinned dresses around at the moment. This dress should be teamed with killer heels and nude tights for maximum effect, a piece of chunky silver or pewter coloured jewellery around the neck would also add to the glamorous appearance.
