Description

If one dress has to cover the office party and New Year's Eve both, we'd pick black velvet, because the fabric already looks like a celebration before you add anything.

The pile is soft and warm, nice in January when the restaurant door keeps opening onto the cold. Its neck is round, its sleeves long. Your legs are the part on show.

Rhinestones? Leave them home.

Big earrings and stilettos at the work party. With friends later in the week, a cropped blazer and ankle boots do it, and the tights can be sheer black.

Hips decide the size. Get that right and the mini won't creep up when you sit down at the long table, wedged between your boss and the colleague who orders dessert for everyone. We steam our velvet from the wrong side instead of ironing the pile, and after a cool wash it goes on a hanger.
