Wedding

Wondrous Black Asymmetric Ball Gown: Wedding at The Dorchester…

Black asymmetric ball gown with cascading appliqué flowers, a dazzling swoosh over the sheen of the black satin

After being locked down for so long, what better time to receive an invitation to a friend’s wedding at The Dorchester Hotel with a lavish dress code?

An excited Kieu came to us wanting something dramatic but also elegant and wedding-appropriate. This timeless white and black asymmetric ball gown was the perfect solution and a perfect fit.

Off-the-shoulder necklines project femininity and can flatter your topline; it’s a subtle and classy way of being sexy and looks good on many body shapes. The gown exaggerates Kieu’s tiny waistline then flows into a beautiful full skirt—very Audrey Hepburn! See our advice page for more hints and tips.

The asymmetric cascading appliqué flowers form a dazzling swoosh over the sheen of the black satin, and the fitted underskirt helps to pump up the volume (but in a nice, sweeping, kind of way).

How stunning are these photos? Kieu looks amazing in this dress and we can only imagine how amazing the Wedding was. Bit jealous, actually!

Red Hi-Lo Evening Dress at Chateau de Fontainebleau


”Thank you so much for the amazing dress! I loved it.“

Hortense wore this beautiful red, hi-lo evening dress for a friend’s wedding at Chateau de Fontainebleau, France.

The colour against her complexion is just stunning. It is a really fun dress to wear, different from the rest and not too showy to upstage the bride.

The high-low hem makes the movement of this dress mesmerising, great for dancing in later after a few glasses of Champagne. It also has hidden pockets to store your lippy in (and who doesn’t love a pocket).

This is a perfect dress to wear to a wedding as it gives you great coverage but still allows for a bit of leg. Sexy yet tasteful.

Don’t forget when wearing a dress like this you will need to have nice shoes and toes painted if you wear open toe shoes.

Celebration

Roaring Twenties Birthday Bash: Champagne sequinned gown


”Thank you so much, it has been an absolute pleasure using One night Stand and I couldn’t have felt more special for my 40th! I received so many compliments from not only my friends and family but plenty of strangers too!“

The 1920s live again for this customer’s 40th birthday bash. The candlelit event, held at the Candlelight Club, was attended by 30 of her closest friends and family. This strappy champagne sequinned gown plunges daringly at the back and the front. Top-to-toe in sequins this really is a stand out dress.

Fiona has cleverly taken one of our contemporary evening dresses and, by adding a beautiful feathered hairpiece and some accessories, has put the dress firmly into the 1920s themed event. Fiona was so pleased with her dress and had the most wonderful evening. Eat your heart out Downton! Doesn’t she look spiffing?

Royal Blue Evening Gown Has Hidden Secret

Corniela came in to us needing a long gown for her Creating New Beginnings charity event at the Hilton, Kensington. Like most big-busted women she was conscious of having to wear a bra with every outfit and worried about finding a stand-out formal dress that would suit both her and the occasion. We persuaded her try this Royal blue evening gown and she loved it.

Technical Support

This dress has secret cups stitched into the top and also has boning to hold everything place. You don’t need a bra at all, the dress does all the lifting for you. A straight finish across the bust doesn’t show any cleavage; instead you end up with a really flattering neckline with attention going to your neck and shoulders instead. The elbow length sleeves are good for those of us who fret about our upper arms.

Dress For A Formal Dinner?

This slinky halter-neck dress in burgundy jersey hugs your figure comfortably & all of the detail is on the top. Perfect for a formal dinner!
“Thank you so much for all your advice and direction to find the prefect dress which left me feeling relaxed and fabulous.”

How about this slinky halter-neck dress in burgundy jersey? Although it hugs your figure, it does so rather gracefully, and the cut comfortably leaves a little room for supper. A beautifully beaded petal shaped collar around the halter-neck accentuates the shoulders, showing a little skin, just enough to satisfy decorum.

Top Table

This is a great dress for a sit-down formal dinner because all of the detail is on the upper half of the dress and it has a chic neckline. Burgundy red isn’t a colour she would normally wear. There was a slight hesitation, truth be told, but she absolutely loved it when she put it on!

The combination of autumn hues worked well with her skin-tone and hair colour, so with this in mind we paired it with a champagne chiffon scarf to keep off the London winter chill.
