Dress of the Day: Nicholas Millington floral print dress
Floral print isn't something we generally associate with party dresses, because it tends to have something of a daytime feel to it. We'd make an exception for this Nicholas Millington dress, though: the silk-look fabric glams it up enough for evening, or special events, and the green colour is gorgeous. The skirt is the ubiquitous tulip shape, which we know some of you object too, but it's a little hard to avoid right now, unfortunately. This is £69 from Additions Direct.





As the Christmas party season starts to get into gear, any dress that isn't black tends to stand out and grab the attention of The Fashion Police.




We know what you're probably thinking, and yes, you're partly right. This dress is mostly here because of the gorgeous green colour, but it's also the kind of classic, easy-to-wear shape that needs only a great pair of heels and a pretty clutch bag to be one of the most stunning looks of the evening.
If you thought (or, indeed, hoped) the trend for bows on everything was drawing to a close, we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but: it's not.
We don't know if the "blonde bombshell" look being worked by the model in this picture had any influence over our decision to feature 



Sometimes simple really is best. This
Yes, yes, we know what we've said about tartan in the past, but The Fashion Police can be fickle, and although we still hate the traditional "Royal Stewart-esque" look (especially on
Sequin-covered dresses are the kind of thing you have tread very carefully with. Many of them are fashion-criminals-in-waiting, and if you get it wrong, you can end up looking like a cruise ship singer or a Vegas showgirl. Which is fine if you're in one of those professions, of course, but otherwise not such a great look...
We're still loving the 60s-inspired shift dresses that are cropping up everywhere at the moment and this polka-dot dress from the Marc by Marc Jacobs label is a great example of all the things we love about this style, from the simple neckline to the gathered sleeves and short skirt.
This dress may not look like much to write home about in the picture, but we're willing to bet it'll look a whole lot better in person, especially when worn with a pair of high, high heels, and maybe some seamed stockings, to play up that 40s look.
The Fashion Police are partial to the odd bit of flapper-fashion every now and again. So are Miss Selfridge, apparently, hence the appearance of this

Ah, the colours, the colours! They're as refreshing as a long cold drink on a hot day, aren't they? They're also a really good way to make your dress stand out from all of the LBDs as the Christmas cocktail party, and that fact alone gets
Fashion seems to be going through something of a 60s-inspired stage at the moment, and this is a movement that meets with The Fashion Police's full approval, especially when it means we get to look at lots of lovely little shift dresses.
This is a very simple little dress, but the rich purple colour, and the fact that you'll be able to dress it up and down so easily makes it nice enough for us to feature it here as Dress of the Day.
It's a dress designed only for those with supreme confidence in their figures, but hey, if that sounds like you, the Herve Leger bandage dress is a classic and it'll also have a "molding and sculpting" effect, making you look even better.
The words "heart print" can be a little alarming when used in the same sentence as "dress", conjuring up images of something too twee for words.
Given our love for forties-inspired fashion, 
If you're going to wear a little black dress with a bow on it, we'd suggest this is a good way to do it.


Nordstrom describe the colour of this dress as "platinum". Nice, isn't it?
Let's be honest: this dress probably isn't going to send you crazy with desire for it, so hopefully you won't be too disappointed when we reveal that it only appears to be available as part of
This dress has grabbed our attention every time we've clicked onto the Net-a-Porter website this week, so we figured it deserved a turn in the Dress of the Day spot.


Can't you just see Serena Van Der Woodsen wearing this dress? We can, and we bet she'd look fantastic in it, too. Us, probably not so much, but then, there's not much call for the wearing of sequined dresses in the course of our police work, so we guess that's not something that's likely to be an issue for us.
Once again, it's the colour more than anything else that drew us to this
Yes, we know, we know - some of you are going to just hate this with every atom of your being. Why? Well, take a look at
