Black Tie

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.

Gold & Navy for Film Festival

“The dress was amazing and I’d like to thank you again for the help in finding it, I had an amazing time.”

Matilde wore our gorgeous gold and navy gown to this years Venice Film Festival, to watch the premiere of A Marriage Story.

This is such a great dress, the gold high neck bodice adds a subtle sparkle, the slight a line skirt is easy to move in and gives the body great balance and shape. A great feature on this dress is the waistband, it breaks the bodice and the skirt up and creates a tiny waistline.

A great choice for this type of event, it stands out from the crowd without it being too much. Matilde has added simple gold bracelets, a good move as you cannot wear a necklace with this gown and only a simple earring will do, as the detail of the dress is on the bodice. Here she is looking very glam walking the red carpet.

Celebration

400th Anniversary Dulwich College Ball

Founded by Edward Alleyn for the education of ‘12 poor scholars’ and granted Letters Patent by James I on 21 June 1619, Dulwich College in South London is celebrating its 400th Anniversary this year. One Night Stand were lucky enough to dress several ladies for the formal Quatercentennial College Ball in May.

Confidence Is Key

Priyanka, on the left, didn’t have fixed ideas of style or colour so we encouraged her to try a range of dresses to discover which ones made her feel good. A full skirt wasn’t really on her radar but this black and gold gown felt right as soon as she put it on and walked to the mirror.

She liked the fact that the gown had sleeves and that the pretty lace bodice showed hints of skin, so she didn’t feel completely covered up either. The fullness of the skirt balanced nicely with her frame.

You need confidence in your outfit to let you really enjoy the event, and this one got a big thumbs-up!

Green Satin Ball Gown for Golden Unicorn Film Awards

Daria stood out from the crowd at the 2018 Golden Unicorn Awards and Russian Film Festival, adding a splash of colour to the party with this gorgeous green satin ball gown.

Gorgeous green satin ball gown, bodice is covered in sparkly glass beads & full satin skirt pulls in at the waist to create a beautiful silhouette.

The full satin skirt pulls in at the waist to create a beautiful silhouette. The bodice is covered in tiny green glass beads, adding a touch of sparkle and magic.

Reaching New Heights

Ladies of shorter stature sometimes worry about wearing ball gowns because of their height. We liked the deep V illusion panel at the front of this ball gown because it accentuates verticals and helps to create a beautifully proportioned ensemble. We have other dresses that pull off similar tricks in different ways, plus a bunch of tried and tested tips to boost your poise (and your confidence).

Daria fell in love with this gown the second she tried it on and you can see why, doesn’t she look stunning?

Party

Allover Sequin Evening Dress at Claridges Party

Black allover sequin evening dress for star-studded Clariges Birthday party.
“I felt a million dollars in the stunning floor length black sequin gown. It fitted as if it was couture, stunning detail to the sides. Lovely service from all the team at One Night Stand.”

Our wonderful client Victoria wore this allover sequin evening dress to celebrate Sir Cameron Mackintosh mother’s 100th birthday at Claridges. This dress has a low back but plenty of coverage in the front so you can move with confidence. It’s completely covered in sequins and has illusion side panels, this dress is sexy and sophisticated.

I heard that few of the guests commented that she was the best dressed there. Would love to get Ronnie to come for a fitting!
