Christmas party blunders can come in a whole variety of guises, from getting
off with the host’s husband to throwing up in her best vase. But, as revealed
by the results of a recent survey of women aged 20-30, carried out by leading
online fashion retailer Very.co.uk, there's one thing that all women fear: the
same-dress catastrophe.

Over half of women said that bumping into someone at a Christmas bash who's dressed in an identical outfit would be the ultimate social embarrassment. Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus are just one pair of celebs who have turned up at posh Hollywood events wearing matching frocks. But whereas the professionals more often than not simply cuddle up and strike a pose on the red carpet, it’s not quite so easy to see the funny side knowing you may have to face the person in question in the supermarket the following weekend. With a quarter of those questioned also admitting to spending days tracking down perfect party dresses, it’s easy to see why they might find this scenario so upsetting.
One way to avoid such social faux pas is to try to stand out from the crowd. Although many of the women surveyed did appear to share similar fashion tastes – with 6 in 10 favouring midi-length dresses over minis and maxis and the same proportion citing a pair of killer heels as their ultimate Christmas accessory – there are many easy ways to make a statement. Liven up a simple black dress with flashes of bright and beautiful accessories, or wear red or a statement print rather than classic black to really make a splash.

Luckily, the fear of coming face to face with an identical dress twin at a party
doesn’t seem to be too much of a deal-breaker. A very respectable 6 out of 10
claim that getting dressed to impress is a key part of the fun of going out, with
a similar number even willing to run a similar risk in the future by recycling
an old outfit. If the worst does happen, there's no need to either fight or take
flight. Just smile sweetly, safe in the knowledge of being one of two people
united by good taste.
Which is a lot more than can be said for those favouring the elf ears and
Santa hats…
