Velvet crush
Velvet makes for an elegant style that’s timeless. Wendy Rigg picks out luxe buys to make your party look stand out
Ilove velvet for evening style as it can look opulent and classy. I’ve chosen two black dresses by designer names – one with a fitted waist and the other more relaxed so that all figure types are covered.
As we get older the tummy area can be a problem and you want to keep it concealed. If you’ve a great waist, please do show it off – it’s a great asset!
Another way to flatter the waistline is with a great fitted jacket. Sometimes it’s worth investing a bit more for something cut expertly to give you a great shape.The red velvet suit does just that.
However, it might be out of your price range.You’ll find a black velvet jacket at Damart for £59.99, and Next do some nice styles from £60.
Whatever you choose, make sure it gives you that confidence boost when you put it on. Have a fabulous party season!
