Without a doubt, it is one of the most exciting parties of the year, the one that everybody has been looking forward to, but… what are you going to wear? To get or not to get a new dress is the question and the answer can only be one. How is it fair that we put so much effort into buying Christmas gifts for our dear ones but forget to treat ourselves? First and foremost, love yourself. And it will be easy to do so with our collection of evening dresses. Check out our seven top picks:

Wine Sequin and Mesh One Shoulder Maxi Dress (£120.00)

If you want to dress to impress, this is the gown for you. It’s the absolute winner’s pick for prom dresses and the most fabulous choice ever for New Year’s Eve. Wherever you wear it, this delicate mesh gown embellished with red wine sequins, a single wide balloon sleeve and a one-shoulder neckline will stay forever in the memory of all the party guests.

Black Burnout Velvet Maxi Dress (£95.00)

For parties where you will end chatting on the balcony under the moonlight, a long sleeve dress is always welcome. Maxi gown plus elegance equals this mesmerising dress and its geometric burnout velvet number with a thigh split. If you’re looking for long sleeve maxi dresses, this is probably one of the best ones you will find.

Plus Size Dark Wine Off The Shoulder Maxi Dress (£56.00)

If you’re looking for plus size dresses for New Year’s Eve, this one will melt your heart. Flattering, romantic, sensual, elegant… this number is beyond words. A figure-hugging floor-length skirt with pleated detailing on the stomach, a lace bodice, long sleeves and bardot neckline – the dark red wine colour is just the perfect match!

Magenta Cowl Neck Strappy Back Maxi Dress (£85.00)

Now let’s open the bright colours chapter. Take a look at this sleeveless number in magenta; it’s the sassiest of party dresses. The colour gives it the bold look but the asymmetric features, cowl neckline and cross straps in the open back are nice details too.

Emerald Sequin and Mesh Long Sleeve Maxi Dress (£99.00)

Because emerald green dresses are one of the favourites of our Goddiva Girls, we have picked a special one today. Pay attention to the detail of the sequin embroidery work in this gown; it’s one of our most fabulous sequin dresses. The see-through long sleeves and illusion neckline add a bit more elegance to this flawless number – it’s also a great pick for bridesmaid dresses!

Navy Sequin Halter Neck Maxi Dress (£79.00)

When we’re looking for something to wear on a special occasion, isn’t this really all we need? Navy blue is one of the most flattering colours for maxi dresses, but here it is combined with silver sequins in a wavy shape that matches the halter neck.

Black Sequin Bodice High Low Skirt (£95.00)

Let’s wrap up with a wonderful midi dress. If you wear this on New Year’s Eve, there will be many people inevitably falling in love with your look… Lace bodice and long sleeves embellished with sequins and a satin floaty high-low skirt… what an explosive combination!

If you’re going to purchase a new gown, it's better to invest in high-quality items that will serve you for many years to come on special occasions. Check out the new dresses at Goddiva.
