Paillette Halter Backless Mini Dress

Wore it on a hen weekend in Manchester. The open back with its second tie made me feel confident and nothing slipped once.

Wore it to my 30th birthday party with silver heels. People kept coming over to touch the paillettes. Easy to wear.

The gold is warm without looking brassy. Halter tie sits neatly and I wore my hair up to show off the back.

Stunning, but at 5'10 it's very short. I wore bike shorts underneath and did a lot less bending. Still a lovely dress.

Wore it to our uni ball and it was the best decision. Gold paillettes, open back, no cardigan because I was dancing the whole time.

Black paillettes under strobe lighting look incredible. I needed no jewellery at all, just a small bag.

The loose skirt means no sucking in at dinner. The tie at the back is easy to do on my own, which helps.

Lovely and swishy. The discs catch my hair when it's down, so tie it up. Wore it for my friend's engagement party.

The discs move and catch the lights as you dance. The loose skirt means I could actually breathe, which is rare for a party dress.

You tie the halter yourself so you can set the neckline height. Short, loose and sparkly, a perfect Christmas party dress.

Pretty dress, but it runs small across the chest. I'd go up a size, especially with the halter tie pulling in. Gorgeous otherwise.

Short at my height, but that's what I wanted for a summer night. Gold paillettes at sunset were the best.
