Instant glamour with Work to Flirt

Anyone who has experienced the dilemma of getting from work to a date without spending hours changing clothes may be pleased to hear about a new dress which has been developed to combat just that.

Designed by Tansy Hamley on behalf of DatingDirect.com, the Work to Flirt Dress enables the wearer to technically wear the same outfit, but to change it so that it is sexier and virtually unrecognisable.

The dress includes an adjustable hemline to make it shorter, sleeves which can be folded back to reveal a splash of red, a reversible waist belt, a hidden split and an adjustable neckline.

Katie Mowe, of DatingDirect.com, commented: "With the typical career girl spending longer at the office and heading out straight after work, dolling up pre-date can often be more than a little tricky.

"We decided to find a way to make dating easier in the week and help make every woman feel as confident as possible."

Ms Hamley said that the dress had been well-received, although it has not been revealed if any of the top brands are to stock it.

The idea came from research carried out by the site, which found that 68 per cent of women thought taking a change of clothes for a date to work was a hassle and 42 per cent would not want to wear their office clothes on an evening out.

Anyone interested in convertible fashion may wish to hear about Camileon Heels, a product that is growing in popularity across the pond.

They are a range of adjustable shoes which allow the wearer to alternate between a 3.25" heel to a 1.5" heel, making walking easier on the feet.
