Wonderful 1930s nightgown – with the right underwear this would be an amazing Veronica Lake style dress

I can’t ignore it any longer: the Christmas ads started in major style yesterday and once M&S and John Lewis have launched their ever faboulous Christmas campaigns you just have to give into the festive season.  So it got me thinking about party dresses and how nice it would be to embrace my inner silver screen goddess this party season… I adore this Veronica Lake style dress below. Who will be your party-season style inspiration this year?
