It’s important to plan ahead, so in this week’s Spend v Save we’re going to be looking at two similar one-shoulder party dresses that’ll see you through all your important shindigs up until the New Year. Finding the ultimate party dress can be a weight off your mind and save you a fair amount of money. If you pick a dress that is simple in design you can accessorise it in different ways to make sure your look is fresh each time you wear it. These one-shoulder party dresses tick all the right boxes for wowing at a special occasion, whether it’s an office do, fancy dinner or red carpet event!
BRIAN LICHTENBERG Glitter One-shoulder Party Dress
First up we have this fabulous glitter one-shoulder party dress by Brian Lichtenberg – a show-stopping, jaw dropping delight available exclusively to Selfridges at £390. Brian Lichtenberg is an L.A. based designer specialising in contemporary designs for both men and women. He has dressed some of the biggest female performers on the planet including Beyonce, Katy Perry and Shakira. He also custom made Lady Gaga’s famous crime-scene tape outfit in her “Telephone” video. So if you’re looking for a glitter dress endorsed by the celeb glitterati then this one’s for you!
This one shoulder dress is made from a mixture of acetate and spandex so the fabric will give a little when you wear it. It has one strongly padded shoulder with a long sleeve which makes the asymmetric design flow beautifully down the body and draws attention away from the waist. It has a side zip and special care must be taken as it is dry-clean only. I’d keep things simple when wearing this dress as it’s eye-popping enough on its own! Maybe add a gold cuff onto the exposed wrist to balance out the look and add some glam glitter heels for extra VA VA voom.
John Zack Shimmer One-Shoulder Party Dress
So you like the dress but can’t afford the price tag? Well fear not friends because this John Zack Shimmer One-Shoulder Party Dress is practically identical! Those lovely people at New Look offer us this online exclusive for a mere £44.99 – that’s peanuts compared to the Brian Lichtenberg dress. John Zack is a London based fashion label located in the West End and was established in the 1970’s. It offers luxury style at affordable prices and delivers fresh off the catwalk looks to its customers. This brand has had a few famous outings lately. “The Only Way Is Essex” star Amy Childs wore it for a recent Reveal magazine shoot.
Why not add an elegant satin clutch bag, to keep the look chic and elegant? Or some patent black shoe boots for a simple sexy vibe?
This week I’d have to say that SAVE emerges triumphant; although the Brian Lichtenberg dress carries the glamour of being Hollywood endorsed I just can’t turn down a bargain when I see one. But which shimmering one-shoulder party dress gets your vote?
