Hands up who loves Party Dresses from Motel Rocks? Well that includes Heidi from the Sugababes who wore a digital print body con dress by Motel Rocks for her performance at the V festival recently.

Heidi one of the founder members of the all girl pop group Sugababes performed live last week with the group at the V festival in Chelmsford and the West Midlands. The V festival has become legendary for its great music line up but like so many of the other UK festivals fashion and what everyone is wearing has also become a key focus with summer dresses and welly boots being a popular choice.

She chose to wear the Celia Peacock Dress by Motel Rocks (pictured above), a short bodycon dress with an eyecatching digital print. The dress is available in red or blue and has a futuristic look to it with the brightly coloured and distorted abstract print. It also has  a cutout back panel with a mesh material for a slightly Goth feel. The dress works really well as a party dress due to its ability to cling in just the right places. Follow Heidi’s lead by teaming this body con dress with tights and killer heels for a really sexy look. The dress can also be dressed down with work boots and a leather jacket for a much more casual look.

Heidi and the other Sugababes often wear bodycon styles and mini dresses. Heidi combines high street and designer clothing for a fun  and stylish look that is very much a part of the Sugababes trademark. Heidi admits to keeping herself in shape by working out and exfoliating her skin regularly to ensure she looks her best in the revealing clothes that she wears on stage. She is also  big fan of fake tan to give herself a healthy glow.

Digital prints like the one featured in Heidi’s Motel Rocks dress are big news this year and have been seen all over the catwalks including at shows like Peter Pilotto and Alexander McQueen. The bright colour and abstract designs are perfect for interesting and eye catching dresses.

Motel Rocks also has a range of other Party Dresses featuring eye-catching  graphic digital prints.

The Motel Emerald Dress is also available in red and blue and looks absolutely stunning for the evening with a pair of heels. This body con dress nips in at the waist and has a a flattering tulip skirt. It also has a great plunging neckline and bodice style top.

The Motel Jean dressin Peacock purple combines a flattering black skirt with an eye catching graphic print on the top half. It is great for both daytime and evening wear and can even be worn to the office.

The Motel Belinda Tiger Dress is a colourful version of  a tiger print for a wild party dress look. It is another body con dress this time with shoulder pads to enhance the shape. It can be worn on its own with wedge heels or with a pair of denim shorts for a more casual look.

Victoria Hesketh AKA Little Boots is a songstress with more than her fair share of style. Even her stage name alludes to the fact that she pays quite close attention to what she wears particularly on her feet. Her concerts showcase some wild outfits which she admits are ‘ a visual aid’ and all part of the performance.  With Little Boots signature style of electro pop gaining her more and more fans and her latest album ‘Hands’ released this  year and reaching number 5 in the UK charts, it looks like we are set to see lots more of Little Boots and her style.

But there is a lot more to Little Boots than her shows and performances, like most celebrities she loves to party and is also considered a style icon off stage. Little Boots is known for dressing eccentrically but also for her cute party dresses and the quirky prints that she wears. She loves disco dresses and prints that feature magic and fantasy. She likes shopping in vintage shops but also mixes high street pieces and has often been spotted in clothes from Motel Rocks. Here are some great Motel pieces that we know Little Boots would love to party in.

This Motel Belinda Cloud and Bird Dress features an amazing image which is just the sort of magical scene that Little Boots would love. The muted colours would look great with a faded denim jacket and it can be dressed up for a party with some silver jewellery or worn with an over sized chunky knit and boots (little ones!) for a more casual look.

This Motel Wanda Feathers dress is reminiscent of some of the quirky prints that Little Boots has been seen out and about in. The tulip style skirt is flattering for everyone and it would look great with a black tuxedo jacket and some killer heels.  The strapless sweetheart neckline is perfect for showing off a quirky statement necklace and you could also add a belt in a contrasting colour.

Little Boots has also been spotted partying in a black lace dress by Motel. This Motel Jean dress in black lace is their latest version of the lace dress which is perfect for the winters lace trend. This dress needs very little in the way of accessories just a simple necklace and a great pair of heels. For a party cover up wear with a tailored jacket.

Little Boots like so many of us is a little partial to a LBT (little black dress) which is the most versatile party dress that you can get. She has previously in a black peplum dress by Motel which has now unfortunately sold out but we think she would also love this Barbara dress which has a really flattering neckline and three quarter length sleeves. Try wearing it with a sleeveless vintage denim jacket for a real pop princess look.

Little Boots has also designed a range of disco inspired clothes for high street store Oasis in the past, loves big shoulders and confesses to shopping in other mainstream high street shops when she has time.

Just as enjoyable as a party itself is the getting ready and choosing which party dress to wear. One of the big decisions this season for any parties that you attend will be whether to opt for a long or short party dress. Both are very much on trend and both have lots going for them. Which one you decide to wear will depend on your own taste and the party that you are going to. For those of us who are impulsive, it will also depend on which dress catches are eye when we do our shopping. Everyone perception of what is a long party dress and what is a short party dress will differ but for the purpose of this post long dresses will include anything below knee length and short dresses, knee length and above.

Long Party Dresses

Rare Fashion Tassel Maxi Dress

The ultimate long party dress for this summer has to be the maxi dress which has been seen in various guises throughout the season. From formal styles in black, satin or chiffon to more causal printed maxi dresses with bold and bright patterns or pretty vintage style florals, there are plenty of maxi dresses to choose from. But long party dresses also include those with three quarter(or mid calf)  length skirts which are particularly suitable for daytime parties and occasions such as weddings and racedays. These dresses look great with either flared a line skirts which look amazing on ladies with larger hips or straight pencil style skirts which look stunning on slim ladies and those with hour glass shapes, particularly when accessorised with a belt.

The beauty of long party dresses is that they are suitable for more formal occasions, they are great for those who are a little self conscious of their body and they are incredibly stylish and subtly sexy without showing too much off. The strappy and fitted top of most maxi dresses help to balance the flowing skirt and show a bit of your body shape and the empire line is particularly flattering for those who want to cover a round tummy.

Short Party Dresses

Short party dresses are ideal for party animals who want to party all night. They are also great for hot balmy summer evenings when you want to keep as cool as possible. If you have amazing legs then a short party dress worn with killer heels is probably the best way to show them off. Short party dresses can range from cute baby doll dresses (also great for covering round tummies) with frilly details to vampy body con dresses, sequin or embellished dresses and the ubiquitous classic LBD. The trick to looking really stylish in a short party dress is to balance the hemline with the neckline. So if you are looking for a super mini dress opt for a higher neckline which will avoid it looking too much.

Party Dresses – The Long And Short Of It is a post from: Party Dresses

Strapless and strappy dresses have always been popular choices as party dresses but lately one of the most flattering and fresh styles of party dress is the asymmetrical style. This dress goes against many of our desires to look completely symmetrical but the one shouldered look is incredibly flattering and great alternative for those who don’t like wearing strapless party dresses. There are also a variety of other asymmetrical styles of dress, some of which use embellishment to give asymmetrical detail on the front of the dress, others which have an asymmetrical hem. 

This trend has been bubbling away for quite a few seasons now but this summer has exploded into a huge trend with ruffled, draped and little black party dresses all featuring the one shouldered look. The celebrities have also been working this look on the red carpet as they already know all about how sensual and sexy revealing one shoulder can look.  The draped styles have a definite feel of Greek Goddess about them, they elegant and perfect for a party. Other variations on this look include dresses with one long sleeve and dresses with one strap that crosses right across the chest.

The one shouldered dress trend is particularly good if you have great shoulders that you would like to show off. It also works well for wide shoulders as it cuts across the chest diagonally making it look narrower.

This Coral One Shoulder Dress by Miss Selfridge is the perfect colour for a party on a hot summer evening. It looks amazing with a sun tan and is right up to date with the ruffle which runs diagonally across the body.

This Black One Shoulder Ruffle Dress by Miss Selfridge has a Spanish feel about it and would be perfect for partying the night away on holiday. This dress is incredibly flattering due to its colour and also the diagonal ruffles which have a slimming effect.

This One Shoulder Tulip Skirt Dress by Lipsy has a beautiful draped design and gorgeous coloured satin fabric that fits in perfectly with this summers trend for luxe neutrals.

This One Shoulder Print Dress by Lipsy is a great party dress option for Ibiza party peoole or anyone heading somewhere hot. Its bold print makes it slightly less dressy than a black party dress but just as, if not more eye catching and perfect for keeping cool in the heat.

This Asymmetric Gathered Corset Dress is the ultimate bodycon party dress with an asymmetric neckline and hem that creates the illusion of a longline and lengthens the body.

Accessorising the asymmetrical party dress

As with any dress that has an unusual neckline, it can be difficult to find the right necklace to go with it. Look for a simple pendant style of necklace where the pendant hangs about an inch above the neckline of the dress. For higher necked asymmetrical dresses it would probably be best to avoid a necklace all together and instead opt for a pair of long earrings which mirror the line of the dress. A clutch bag and heels or wedges are the only other accessories that you will need to complete your party outfit.

The Asymmetrical Party Dress is a post from: Party Dresses

The trend for maxi dresses has been bubbling under the surface for a number of seasons now but this season it seems to have really gone full throttle. Perhaps it is because of the beautiful hot summer that we are having, perhaps it is because so many celebrities have been wearing them and showing us just how amazing they can look or perhaps we are just catching on to what a great style of women’s dress they are. If you go out this summer, you are bound to see countless girls working their maxi dresses to the maximum with strappy sandals, wedge heels and plenty of accessories. There is definitely a case of maxi dress mania this summer with a whole range of styles available from pretty florals to bold tribal prints, classic neutrals and the latest way to wear the maxi dress in jersey. Maxi dresses also make great party dresses with the addition of some great heels, a clutch bag and some sparkly jewellery. You can achieve a range of party looks from casual glamour to elegant chic, really dressy and even formal or black tie.

You may have thought to yourself that you can’t wear maxi dresses (a common misconception) but there really is a maxi dress for everyone and all you need to do is make sure that you find the right one. Maxi dresses are particularly good for ladies who prefer to keep their stomach or hips, thighs and legs covered up. They create a smooth and elegant silhouette without showing too much of what is underneath, yet they are fitted at the top giving some shape allowing you to show off the narrowest part of your torso which is often just under the bust. For those that do have a great waist that they would like to show off this can be achieved by adding a belt or wearing a jersey t shirt style maxi dress. Those with a bigger bust may struggle with the strappy nature of most maxi dresses but their are two possible routes that you can take. You can look for a maxi dress with short sleeves or you can layer a vest top underneath. For  gorgeous look for your party dress you could even look for a sparkly or lacy vests top to wear underneath.

Some people avoid maxi dresses because they do not like to show off their arms but there are maxi dresses with sleeves available and you could also add a cropped cardigan, shrug or bolero which will not affect the line and flow of your maxi dress. Maxi dresses can be slightly tricky for petite ladies, but don’t avoid them all together. Look for maxi dresses in petite ranges to ensure that the skirts are not too long and trip you up. You should also look for dresses with skirts that are not too full as these can be a little over powering for short people. Plain colours or small scale prints will also look best on petite ladies. If you are tall you can pretty much take your pick of maxi dresses styles although you may want to shop around to ensure that it is long enough for maximum glamour.

Little Mistress have some great maxi style party dresses at great prices. They are also offering an additional 10% off for anyone setting up a new account. Choose from one of these gorgeous styles or visit their site for more great party dresses.

Animal print has got a bit of a reputation for being a bit racy, the expression ‘a bit of an animal’ says it all really. There certainly are plenty of racy animal print party dresses around if that is what you are looking for like this halterneck leopard print dress by Goddiva. In fact animal print is perfect for party dresses with just the right combination of flattering colours and that ‘look at me’ factor. Leopard print can be really bold and eye catching with its contrasting dark browns and cream but if you really want to stand out from the crowd a zebra print dress combined with some brightly coloured accessories is the ideal choice. Zebra print is a great way to work the animal print trend and is definitely more Pixie and less Pat Butcher (from Eastenders).

If you would love to party in an animal print dress but want a slightly subtler and more sophisticated take on the look, there are variety of ways to wear it. The freshest and most on trend way to wear the seasons animal prints gives them a much softer and romantic edge.

Animal Print Maxi Dresses

If you want to get away from that vampy animal print look, the easiest way to do so is by showing less flesh. A maxi dress will cover you up completely from top to toe and can give leopard prints a whole new lease of life. The look is much  more boho and romantic than a traditional lycra leopard skin dress and perfect for summer parties, barbecues and weddings. You can make the look even softer and more romantic by adding chiffon which gives the print a slight translucency and effervescence and also by adding frills which are the ultimate feminine detail.

Another very stylish way to wear animal prints on party dresses this summer is to mix them up in a kind of patch work effect. This look is proving particularly popular for maxi dresses as it breaks up the print a little making it softer . Leopard, zebra and tiger prints can all be mixed together or different versions of prints from the same animal. Mixing animal prints with grey marl is also very now as seen at the Alexander Wang collections.

Scale it down

For a fresher and cuter version of  the animal print dress, look for it but on a smaller scale. Mini versions of the leopard skin print look great on mini dresses.

Mix it with Florals

Dana Zebra Dress by Boohoo

Florals are a complete contrast to animal prints and a clever mix of the two combines neutral colours and brights for a really eye catching and eclectic look.

Just a little bit of animal print

Animal Print Jaquard Dress by Goddiva

By using just a little bit of animal print on a dress designers have given it a really subtle appeal which is great for those who find it difficult to move away from the safe choice of the little black dress. This dress (above) cleverly mixes animal print with a jacquard design but you may also find party dresses with animal print on just a small area or animal print trim.

Brightly coloured animal prints

For those who don’t like neutral colours, animal prints dresses in bright colours are also a great way to work this trend.
