This dress is available in sizes UK 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16

Style note: Each season, you can rely upon French Connection to bring out some glamorous sequinned dress, and this year they certainly do not disappoint. One of the things that I particularly like about French Connection sequinned dresses is the density of the sequins – the dresses are literally so covered in sequins that you cannot see the material beneath, and that is the way they should be. The quality of these dresses never disappoints.
Complete the look with French Connection’s Juines Platform Court in burgundy and the Bow Peep Clutch in burnt raspberry, and add a statement necklace to fill in that cowl neckline – try the New Organic Link Choker.
