Body con dresses are the perfect pieces for creating easy elegance at any party this season; their simple figure-hugging sexiness will ensure all eyes are on you when you walk into the room.

We love the contrast between the edgy sheer mesh sleeves and blue velvet body on Twenty8Twelve’s Mia dress – a luxe fusion of fabrics which will add texture and glamour to your after-dark dressing – and the midnight blue shade is both soft and stand-out in its style.

Wear with peep toe courts and sheer black opaques for a classic high-glam look, and finish with crystal jewels to add a touch of sparkle – it’s a fool-proof way to stand out at parties.
