Our Top Five Picks – The Black Lace Dress
November 20, 2010 by Ceri ·
The black lace dress has been on trend for a season or two since it appeared at the Prada catwalk shows. Ever since then it has been reappearing in various guises which make a great alternative to the traditional little black dress for a Christmas party or one of the most stunning choices of short prom dresses in the UK . The black lace dress is incredibly versatile though and can also work really well as a day dress. The beauty of it lies in its ability to flatter but also its intricate detail, texture and seductive look which make it our favourite of all the black dresses for women.
Lace has also been a popular fabric throughout history and it adds a great retro or vintage look to many modern styles of dress inspired by the fifties, sixties and seventies. For winter 2010, there are a variety of styles of black lace dress from the long sleeved mini dress to a more formal party dress with a flared and full skirt. Here are our top five picks.
This vintage inspired Fair trade lace dress is perfect for Christmas parties with its fifties style ballerina skirt and off the shoulder top. For a really on trend look throw on a leather jacket to keep you warm when travelling to and from the party. The dress is by Nomad a company which make Fair trade certified clothing which benefits communities in their own countries.
Another great Fairtrade choice is this Ruby rocks lace dress. It has a flattering empire line and cross over bust style with ruffles and subtle sequin embellishment. It would look great with a pair of wedge heels for any party this Christmas.
This one shoulder lace dress by Oasis is incredibly elegant. When it comes to accessorising it, our advice is too keep it simple. Perhaps a pair of chandelier earrings to compliment your elaborate hair do or a very simple pendant necklace that will not interfere with the neckline. A great pair of heels and a clutch bag are also a must for a great evening outfit.
If you want to channel seventies disco glamour that has become so popular since the recent Halston revival, this lace one shoulder dress by Warehouse is just what you need. Super stylish but with a loose fitting swing skirt and bell sleeve, which allows for an extra mince pie or two if you wish.
If you are looking for a longer style of lace dress which work well for a formal evening event, we would recommend this http://tidd.ly/8c051bd3. It has a beautiful chiffon overlay and tie at the back. It also has intricate lace detail around the neckline.
The great detail in a piece of lace means that very little in the way of accessories are needed to complete your party outfit when wearing a lace dress. Just a pair of sheer tights and one or to simple pieces or jewellery and you will be good to go.

Gentlemen Prefer Reds (The Colour Of Women’s Clothing)
October 5, 2009 by Womens fashion Team ·
Yes ladies, it’s official, If your looking to attract a man, make sure you dress in red.
Scientists at the University of Rochester, New York have conducted an experiment in which 100 undergraduates were asked to rate the attractiveness of women associated with various colours and it transpires that your more attractive if you wear Red women’s clothing.
They were asked to rate three variables – “how pretty is she?”, “how much would you like to kiss her?” and “how much would you like to have sex with her?”
This might be a little subjective dependent upon who the woman was in the picture? Quite frankly, if it was Cheryl Cole for example, she could be shown wearing a plastic sack and this story would have been entitled “Men Prefer Women in Bin Liners”!
However, the scientists report that the men found women associated with the colour red more attractive than others.
Now, you may have thought that this is due to millions of years of primal evolution as “hunter gatherers”, but no, apparently it’s more to do with western cultural norms over the most recent history that associate the colour red with, well… erm… to be blunt. Sex!
So ladies, we would never condone flinging yourself at he opposite sex, but if your interested, it might be worth conducting your own little experiment.
