The ball, the prom, the formal - it’s a very special time in a girl’s life. The build-up is fraught with decisions, from hair to shoes and everything in between. We think it’s best to stick to your guns, choose a dress you’ll wear again, and opt for something special, simple and pretty. Here’s a selection of Miss Crabb favourites, from the traditional to the something a little wilder …

How beautiful. The ‘Diamanda’ dress is everything good about 90s fashion - a slick slip, shoestring simple and cut to make curves look mind blowing. Available in black, cream or a beautiful nude. All you need is a pair of killer heels, simple do and you’re set for a wonderful night.

The Penny Sage ‘Sun & Moon’ dresses are sleek, simple and timeless. In black, cream and assorted one off colours, their sheer panels depart them from demure, while the silhouette is ever so ladylike.

’100 Years Ago’ Dress - A soft, crinkled silk in a relaxed teeshirt shape, this full length dress is available in mustard, black, lilac and more.

For the real wild child. The ‘Sanguine’ jumpsuit is flaming, fire engine red and not for the faint hearted. We love it’s 1970s allure and coolly relaxed slouchy shape.

The ‘Arise’ dress is perfect if you’d like to show off your pins. Team with ankle boots for a look with a little sass. Available in ruby red and black.

The ‘Dalliance’ Dress is a one-shouldered confection, with a nod to disco and just enough skin to keep things exciting. Available in black crepe de Chine silk.

Super elegant, this two-tone beauty is the ‘Festival in the desert’ romper.

The Penny Sage ‘Someplace’ dress is offered in raspberry, black, cream and khaki-green. It’s silk, slightly sheer and a lovely asymmetrical shape - you’ll wear it again all through summer.

The ‘Rise’ dress is a Miss Crabb classic for a reason. Demure on top, flirty on the legs - it’s flattering, extremely comfortable and ideal for the dance floor - watch that skirt swirl. We love this dress with staggeringly high heels.

‘Sunrise’, can be worn with or without a belt. Beautifully floaty and flattering on any shape. Tie above the waist for a look any Grecian goddess would be envious of.
