'Elegant' Dorothy Perkins dress is 10% off and is perfect for Christmas parties

The flattering leopard print dress is available in the Debenhams sale but you'll have to act fast

With the festive season fast approaching, many may be on the lookout for a new outfit to 'wow' people at Christmas parties this year and this eye-catching leopard print dress from Debenhams could be the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

The Dorothy Perkins Leopard Keyhole Midi Dress has been reduced in price as part of the Debenhams sale, with 10 per cent off, now costing just £34.20, down from £38.

But you'll have to act fast, as the "flattering" garment appears to be a popular one - with sizes 10, 12, and 14 sold out, and just sizes 8, 16, and 18 currently available.

This stylish piece is perfectly tailored for cooler weather, with its long sleeves and crew neck. What's more, the dress' midi length makes it perfect to pair with knee-high leather boots, to really complete the winter chic look.

Crafted from soft, stretchy material, this dress sports a striking leopard print pattern throughout, with a stylish keyhole detail at the back of the neck. It is also machine washable, making it easy to look after and keep it looking fresh and new.

Customers have rated this Debenhams gem highly, granting it an impressive 4.5 out of five stars based on more than 50 reviews, reports the Liverpool Echo.

One wrote: "Love this dress. Full length on me as I’m only 5’ tall. It still looks really nice and fits well. It’s very much on trend. Wore it to a party and felt very up to date."

Another added: "I’m really delighted with this dress! I love the flattering fit, the beautiful fabric, and the style, especially the sleeves which are slightly puffed at the shoulder. I am waiting for slightly warmer days to wear it but I have an occasion in mind."

A third commented: "Absolutely love this dress. Very flattering when on and loads of compliments." And a fourth review read: "Bought this dress for Christmas, lovely dress, fits perfect."

However, one shopper did not get what they expected with the dress, as they wrote: "Nothing like the online photo. It’s a lot darker and has huge puffy sleeves. The material felt cheap, too. I really begrudge the £2 return charge when the actual item is so different to the online picture."

And another ran into a problem with getting a refund, writing: "Still waiting for a refund, I returned this item 10 days ago."

If you're looking to complete the outfit, you can also buy the Debenhams Stretch Wide Calf Block Heel Knee High Boots, which feature a solid 6.35cm heel, and are currently available at a bargain price, down from £122.99 to just £41.99.

Or for those after a more subtle dress pattern, the black Embellished Mini Waisted Dress at M&S is a beautiful choice, at £45. It boasts long sleeves with fitted cuffs and a waist-emphasising fit.

Alternatively, the Burgundy Cord Long Sleeve Starlight Midi Dress from Nobody's Child offers a festive vibe with its rich red colour. At £85, it's pricier than the other options, but features long balloon sleeves and an attractive row of covered buttons below the neckline, making it an excellent pick for Christmas dinners and workplace festivities.
