Sequins & Sparkles at Banqueting House Gala

Black sequin long dress and ivory & black low-V dress at Banqueting House gala evening.

Kelly and Anna came to us in need of dresses for the Lord Mayor of Westminster’s Gala, in which they were both on the committee. Something chic, sophisticated and suitable for the occasion was what we needed!

Anna had her eyes set on the high neck, illusion panel black sequin long dress, after spotting it on a previous blog post of ours. She put it on and loved it right away. The illusion panels, embellished with beautiful beaded patterns, make for an interesting feature and the low back makes you feel sexy without the dress being overly revealing. The dress is covered in black sequins which gives a subtle sparkle.

Kelly settled on the beautiful ivory and black low-V dress. The dress supports V-shaped front and back, embellished with gorgeous silver beads and jewels. The Empire silhouette on the dress extends down on each side, making a slight arch shape. This softens the edges and creates a beautiful outline. The black jersey skirt is figure-hugging, great for showing off those curves! Both dresses are great for an occasion like this, two suave polished looks.

Here they both are having a whale of a time at Banqueting House with the Lord Mayor of Westminster Lindsey Hall and husband Robert.

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.

Guide

#One Dress: Sophisticated A-Line Summer Party Gown

A-Line evening gown, floral embroidered, with plunging neck and back.
Floral embroidered A-Line evening gown: plunging V-neck and deep V-back, ribbon belt and full A-line skirt with tulle overlay. Embroidered with flowers and leaves in pink, red and green.

What Makes This Dress Great?

If you have broad shoulders or a shorter upper body, a plunging V-neckline creates the illusion of a more elongated torso and it narrows the shoulders. An A-Line style dress, like this one, is usually fitted to the hips and then flares to give the skirt volume, which can do wonders for your silhouette.

How Does It Do That?

Formal Ball Gown for White Tie Livery Dinner

Classic ball gown for Livery Dinner at the Guildhall, London

Our lovely client, Agnieszka, wore an elegant, two-tone, formal ball gown for a white tie Livery dinner at The Guildhall last night. The forest green skirt has an ivory embellished bodice with a compelling v-neck, not too low to be distracting, not to high to be overly modest.

The skirt had multiple petticoats making it very Cinderella, which we reduced to achieve a better shape and it also made the gown easy to wear at the event.

She is here with her handsome husband and they look so happy, don’t they?

Wedding

Tulle Evening Gown With Rose Gold Sequins

Tulle Evening Gown With Rose Gold Sequins

Taken at a Jordanian wedding earlier this month, we love the colour of the skyline almost as much as our client looking so ravishing in a cappuccino tulle evening gown embellished with rose gold sequins.

The deep v-neckline compliments her décolletage and the back of the gown has another deep v-line, but not so deep that you can’t wear a push up bra. The midrift is semi-opaque. All in all a very naughty dress!

We look forward to having you back soon.
