It’s party time! And there are lots of slinky, exciting numbers around. So all you Christmas sophisticates get moving. Add tops to simple, sleeveless dresses and Hey, Presto! You’ve doubled your party outfits. Search around street markets for strips of exotic fabric — wind them round your head or drape them around your shoulders. Go wildly Eastern by wearing satin pants and sexy, close-fitting blouses. Use a little imagination and transport yourself (and escorts!) into a fantasy world. Can you hear Middle-Eastern music? You’re in the land of The Thousand And One Nights.
