A NEW dress is a surefire way to banish those winter blues. But you don’t need to splash out, PrettyLittleThing.com is flogging frocks for A FIVER. But will you look a million dollars or dressed down?

Here, model Lauren Innes, 33, gives SIOBHAN O’CONNOR her verdict on ten of them and marks them too.

Nude bandeau - 3/10

'This could definitely be classed as a naked dress, though I personally think it’s more of a top.'

“There’s not much to this dress at all, it’s tiny with no detail.

“No wonder it’s so cheap, as they’ve obviously saved money on fabric."

Green on shoulder - 8/10

'And with asymmetric being a big trend, baring one shoulder oozes sex appeal – I don’t mind the olive shade either.'

“A good choice for something a little more covered, though super short. The long sleeve makes it a better choice for a night out, as it provides a little extra warmth."

Nude strappy - 5/10

'Personally, I’d probably wear this as a slip underneath something instead of an actual going- out frock.'

“This isn’t the most flattering colour, at a glance it would look like I was naked.

“But you can’t go wrong with the style, it’s just a basic, strappy midi dress – and it’s a bargain."

Strappy floral - 2/10

'I don’t think the style is flattering at all, but I like that it’s a different colour and pattern.'

“This looks more like a nightie than a party dress.

“It’s super sheer and the fabric is thin and flimsy, I reckon it would rip easily."

Blue cut-out with straps - 4/10

'It’s a sexy look, but unless you can brave the cold, I would save this for summer.'

“The fit isn’t great, the straps are meant to be tight against my stomach but instead hang loose.

“The fabric sags around my bum and tum too, I have to tug it down as it keeps gathering up."

Black pu bardot - 9/10

'It’s perfect for any drink spills on a night out too, as you can just wipe it clean.'

“Off the hanger this looks hideous. . . but once on I think it’s the best.

“The material is slightly thicker and doesn’t cling to any lumps and bumps, while thankfully the length keeps my bum safely under wraps."

Pink cut-out  - 6/10

'I like it shows my torso instead of underboobs too, that looks a little classier.'

“I have never seen a dress like this, I thought the cut-out section was for the back.

“If you are confident with flashing a little flesh then this is a good choice."

Blue off shoulder with puff sleeves - 7/10

'It’s more interesting with the puffy sleeves too, it is well worth splashing a fiver on.'

“I like the sweetheart neckline, it is really flattering. The fit is figure- hugging, though you can’t wear lacy undies with it otherwise the fabric will cling."

Blue with side split - 6/10

'I really like the pale blue hue though, and putting your best leg forward is super sexy.'

“I prefer the longer length, though the side split takes some getting use to. The slit is thigh high which I didn’t realise on the hanger, so you can’t get away with wearing big knickers."

Green bandeau with strappy side - 1/10

'The fabric is clingy yet not supportive, I’d be worried this would keep falling down.'

“I can’t believe women are going out in this, I feel practically naked. You have to go commando unless you carefully line up your knickers with the straps, which is just hassle."
