Wouldn’t it be fabulous to wear one of these on New Year’s Eve? These are clearly not for the H&M crowd, but feel free to lick the screen, then shop for budget lookalikes.

Here’s a dress I’m not wearing on New Year’s Eve. I wore it earlier this week. It’s in brown velvet and was made for me by Zang Toi. You can see the original, short version of the dress in light blue here.
Trying to hold up the train so y’all can see it.
i like that citrus dolce and gabbana dress! it’s gorgeous!
Hott. Mega hott.
AAAAHHHH! The girl in the seventh photo HAS NO HEAD!
I just love the 1970s Robert David Morton and the pink dress. Both gorgeous!
The canary yellow Dolce and Gabanna makes me want to sing “Auld Lang Syne.”
You’re looking gooood again!
the yellow one is simply smashing.
Man, am I lucky not to be a lady. I think I’ve been wearing the same pair of jeans for the last month. Maybe for the holidays, I’ll get a second pair. If I feel like splurging.
That yellow Dolce & Gabbana, goodness.
Oh my, you look gorgeous…but how does one manage a train that doesn’t involve little kids holding it up in a church, without having it rip?
My favourite is the Malandrino one. You look really cute in that velvet dress.
Your dress is gorgeous! I’m partial to the D & G of the other pics
The Dolce and Gabbana is stunning. You’d look great in it! I really love the Catherine Malandrino. Now if I only had somewhere to actually wear it!
BTW I love the dress you’re wearing. As usual, you are fabulous!
oh love the first dress & the vintageous one! I have to start thinking about my dress now!
Any of those dresses would be such stunners.
OMG, you look fabulous in that pic!!!
Pistols at Dawn, you could go crazy and get a three-pack of Hanes undershirts too! Floppy, you can bustle a train or you can be convinced by a flamboyant gay man to hold it up all night via a little loop on the end. The (non-gay) guy who was sitting next to me a dinner that night nearly passed out when I told him that should I have to get up at any point, he needed to crawl under the table and pick up my skirt for me (I didn’t make him do it, don’t worry, but it was fun to say). I love that everyone loves the yellow dress!
I just saw “Enchanted” – Amy Adams wore some lovely gowns and dresses. And of course Susan Sarandon’s evil witch queen outfit was to-die-for.
love the short and sassy sequins!
you look beautiful in your gown. Where did you go in it???
Ummm, they carry boudicca at NM???! How could this have passed me by!? Anyway, I like the Dolce, and I’ve read such great things about Frock as a store…
YOU HAD A DRESS MADE FOR YOU BY ZANG TOI????!!! You socialite, you!!!! Jealous!
those dresses are delish! – def looking for some look alikes!
Dolce, Dolce, Dolce. Fabulous.
the dolce and gabanna dress is to die for!
and the pink vintage dress is absolutely delicious!!
Riz, I highly recommend check out Frock if you get a chance. Ask for my friend Evan, the owner! Practically Perfect, I went to a fundraising dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists (check out cpj.org)
Damn…some fine frocks you have shown there…one day perhaps…
Dress schmess. You’re HOT!!!
Will do – now i have incentive!
i licked the dolce & gabbana dress and also the catherine melandrino one. i might have slobbered a little as well on my keyboard…
Oh, Evie, now I have to clean all this up.
that’ll teach you to invite others to lick the screen.. lol
oh oh oh, i have a severe crush on that boudicca.
SEVERE.
The Boudicca one looks strangely similar to one of the Jil Sander dresses this season, but I think I preferred the Sander one. Though preference doesn’t really matter when you haven’t got the £££!
One and short and sassy to go, please. (Not you! The dress.)
Why, Jenn! I feel so rejected!
Beautiful yellow dress!!!! I have always longed to wear a GREAT yellow dress. Alas, yellow is never to be my colour. You need a certain something to pull that off (the colour not the dress, perv!) I’m just too pinky-pale and strawberry blonde and well…no. I think a rocking yellow gown would be awesome sadly just not on me. Why can’t I be dark haired and olive skinned like the rest of my damn family who can wear all sorts of fab colours when I’m resigned to boring ones? I particularly love a deep vibrant blue but it overpowers my delicate celticness. Damn.

Love the yellow dress!
