'This flattering high street dress got me so many compliments at a formal evening event'

We tried on five different styles from the online retailer Nobody's Child in the search for an outfit for a smart evening evet, and one of them was a clear winner...

So, when I received an invitation to a work awards ceremony and realised I had nothing suitable to wear, I immediately headed over to the Nobody's Child website – a favourite of mine for fetching and flattering dresses for all sorts of occasions. There were two reasons why I didn't pick it, however: firstly, I thought the hem was a bit short for a work event, and secondly, I'd be getting ready by myself in a hotel room, and would have no one to tie up the bow on the back for me. I loved the flattering shape, the statement sleeves and the little flash of skin from the slash neck and low back (you can probably still get away with wearing a bra though).
