This sequinned zigzag dress from Topshop is brilliant for showing off your curves whilst covering up simultaneously.River Island's ivory lace dress is great if you love midis. Just add a chic shrug for the Victoria Beckham look. Or channel old Hollywood glamour with the retailer's bodice dress. The faux fur at the neckline catches the eye and the fitted shape of this grown-up piece pulls in the waist to create an hourglass silhouette.Tess also loves to inject a bit of glitz on a night out.
