occasionwear by Ambrose Wilson
For some, dressing in occasion wear may be an all-year-round thing. For others, it could be the lead-up to the festive season, Christmas and the New Year celebrations. Velvet, sequins, sparkles and lace come into their own when the party season ramps up!
In this blog, I’ve featured some of my favourite dresses from the Ambrose Wilson collection and from today there’s up to 50% off some selected items as an Early Bird Black Friday offer.
Whether you’re entertaining at home, going to an office party, dressing-up for book club, going out to the pub or to a bar with friends or family, going to a cocktail party and more – whatever the occasion, Ambrose Wilson have a dress for you. Here are some of my favourites and I will add colour, styling and fit details to help you buy better. I’m 5ft 4″ tall so you can see where the hemline finishes on me.
Here’s a short three-minute video I put together: click here
Joanna Hope Metallic Dobby Spot Midi Dress
50% off, now £60
This gorgeous dress is available in red and black. Although the colour is described as red, it’s actually a very warm red, think tomato red or almost orange. It has a high neckline which may not suit a fuller bust. It’s a snug fit, so definitely size up.
The metallic bobby is in a gold, leaf-shaped print.

Joanna Hope Metallic Dobby Spot Midi Dress
This colour way isn’t reduced. £120. Black worn so close to your face may overwhelm your complexion, so if you’d like to wear a black dress, choose one with a lower neckline.
