Colourblock Ponte Dress from Dorothy Perkins
With every batch of new Christmas frocks in the shops it's beading and sequins that we see most of all. For something a little more subtle and classic, this Colourblock Ponte Dress from Dorothy Perkins is an ideal choice.

It's available now from Dorothy Perkins for £36.
