Spinning in Satin

Iridescent satin looks gorgeous under the spotlight and creates added drama on the dance floor.

There's something so special about satin. This shimmering fabric is structured enough to add volume yet moves beautifully (and catches the light whilst doing so) making it the perfect choice for maximum dance-floor footprint! We love a full-volume dress, like this one from Mama Luma, with pretty bow detailing and adorable puffed sleeves. And for a swirling statement, look no further than a satin style with graceful movement and elegant accents.

Twirling in Tulle

Who could resist a spin in layers of chiffon, a tulle tutu or a fairy-tale dress that floats on air? 

A tulle dress is unrivalled for twirl-ability. This light-as-air fabric moves like no other and creates a high-volume, meringue-like swirl with the most graceful of spins. Needle & Thread's exquisite dresses are superb for twirling, thanks to their full-skirted, tulle-lined silhouettes — and the beautiful embellishments are too pretty not to mention. And if it's a pretty party dress they're after, look to Junona and RaspberryPlum for floaty tulle dresses in a confection of sweet colours.

Swirling in Sequins

They'll light up the whole party in these twinkly, sequin-spangled dresses. No disco ball required. 

There's nothing like a sequin party dress to bring plenty of sparkle to the dance floor. For a decadent shimmer, our Coeur by Childrensalon dress is scattered with butterfly-shaped sequins which catch the light beautifully. And if they are looking for all-out glitz, brands like Graci, Junona and EIRENE have embellished their party dresses with dazzling layers of sequins. They'll be twinkling like a mirror ball!

Fancy Footwork

And if they want to be the queen of the dance floor, they'll need shoes and the accesories to match.
