Cocktail Dresses for Engagement Parties and Awards Nights

Cocktail attire lives between everyday and black-tie, so a knee-length or midi shape with a defined waist is your easiest yes. An engagement party loves a touch of shimmer. A milestone birthday can take rich colour and a flattering wrap. A corporate awards night suits a sleek line that photographs beautifully. Choose a shape that moves with you, so you can enjoy the night rather than think about the dress. When the celebration is a wedding, our wedding-guest dresses strike the balance between festive and respectful. For longer, after-dark dressing, our evening dresses take the floor.

Sequin Bodices, Satin and Lace

A sequin bodice shimmers across a crowded room, satin lends a polished sheen under low lighting, and lace brings romance to a fitted silhouette. Each fabric flatters in its own way, so choose the one that suits both the venue and the mood of the night. We cut these dresses to hold their shape from dinner through to dancing. A heeled sandal and a compact clutch keep the look sharp, while a statement earring lifts a simpler neckline. Explore our party dresses for more sequins and movement when the night calls for it.
