Tip 1 - Vacay Ready, How to Pack For Holiday Glamour

For a seven day vacation, we suggest you pack just 4 night time outfits and swap them around. These dresses need to be versatile. By pairing different accessories, you can switch up your vibe. Black dresses are a lust-worthy addition to any suitcase. Try to pack at least 1 (or 2) LBDs. An anti-crease jersey gown is a must. A nifty trick is to roll the dress into a sausage like shape into your hand luggage - ta da, no creases when you unpack at your destination. You will find it's crease free and perfect for just throwing on, no fuss or ironing required.

Our Millie is a perfect example of a stylish, timeless little black dress. It features a glamorous one shoulder design with clever ruching to help give a fabulous figure flattering bodyshape. It's in a double jersey so it protects your dignity with much-needed non see-through funtionality.
