The Perfect Birthday Dress-Ask Anna
“My birthday is coming up and I am having a party where both family and friends will be attending. I’ll be turning 18 so will need a dress that will wow my friends but won’t shock my family. I am on a budget so please only suggest dresses under £100.â€
For such a special occasion such as your birthday we can understand your desire to have a show-stopping dress yet one that won’t make family members (particularly grandparents) want to cover you up in a coat as soon as you arrive! A special dress that will stand out for all the right reasons is what you’ll need to create the desired look that will impress all of your attendees, whatever their age…
Our Marc Jacobs Rainbow Paillette dress is the ultimate in glam and was even worn by Fergie at the Teen Choice awards. Â On its own, the black bustier may be a little too ‘little’ for the grandparents however, with its sheer black tulle overlay and beautiful detailing consisting of horizontal rainbow sequinned stripes it’s the perfect party dress. Â Team with a colourful chunky necklace and sky-high heels as illustrated below.
Another great choice is our Winona Dress by Amee Lou. Â In gorgeous plum, this asymmetric frock screams luxury couture with its layered taffeta-chiffon. Â Accessorize with long earrings and a metallic clutch and you’ll be head to toe glam!
Finally, our Alice and Olivia Salmon Sequinned Dress will ensure the limelight is all yours. Â Particularly girly, make this ballerina-esque with your hair wrapped up into a bun and show-stopping silver platforms .
