This full-length gown is from Dunnes and it’s show-stoppingly stunning

And we're in love...

Whether it’s a black-tie wedding, a college ball, or just a fancy-pants event – there is no doubt that sourcing a full-length gown is all sorts of challenging.

You don’t want to feel like a wally in an OTT meringue, but still want something suitably fabulous and sweeping.

Which is why we reckon this gem we spotted in Dunnes Stores recently is just about perfect.

The head-turning shimmery dress is from the retailer’s Savida range. It’s pink, sleeveless, and is adorned in head-to-toe sequins.

And the real show-stopping element is the FAB black bow detail at the back. Otherwise, look out for a high-neckline, low-cut scoop, and floor-sweeping hem.

The shape is pretty simple – but we reckon it would be super flattering. It’s priced at €120.

In terms of winter accessories, this number would be just about perfect teamed with a faux fur stole or short jacket. A simple sandal in black with be ideal too – along with a patent clutch to seal the deal.

Dunnes is absolutely killing it at the moment on the fashion front. Recently, it released a Gossip Girl worthy headband.

The crystal jewelled piece was from the Dunnes Stores/Joanne Hynes collection and caught the eye of Lady Gaga – who was seen rocking it in October.
