The Nobody’s Child Black Velvet Bow Front Eliana Midi Dress is a top pick for the festive season and is a hit with shoppers having sold out previously
Bows are always a constant around Christmas time with their whimsical charm and deeper representation of the joy of giving and unity. And so as the festivities continue over Christmas and towards New Year, you can’t get a better party look than a black velvet dress adorned in delicate bows.
While Nobody’s Child offers a range of trendy styles for all your New Year’s Eve bashes, as soon as we laid eyes on the stunning Black Velvet Bow Front Eliana Midi Dress, we were in awe.
And we’re not the only ones as when it launched a few weeks back, the dress sold out pretty rapidly. Thankfully, it’s back in stock, and according to the fashion brand’s website, the stylish dress is a ‘top pick’ and has been purchased several times in the last 48 hours (at the time of writing).

Costing £110, this midi dress is a stunning choice for all your festive commitments and has a main, eye-catching feature of three statement bows fastening the centre of the bodice (with a bit of skin peeping through).
The dress also has an A-line skirt that skims the body and leaves you with a flattering silhouette.
Perhaps best of all is that the dress can be snapped up for a discounted price with 15% off thanks to a special discount code – JOY15 – that’s available for a limited time.
This reduces the price to £93.50, saving you £16.50. While the Black Velvet Bow Front Eliana Midi Dress is still in stock for UK sizes 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12, with 14 currently sold out, reports OK!, with many people snapping it up, we can’t see it being that way for long.
Perfect for upcoming New Year’s Eve parties, the dress features a V-neckline, zip-back fastening and thin shoulder spaghetti straps that draw your eye to the bows.
If your size is out of stock by the time you race to Nobody’s Child, fear not – the same dress is on ASOS for £95, which is slightly more than the discounted price after applying JOY15 at the checkout on nobodyschild.com. It’s also available at Marks and Spencer for £110.
In keeping with the brand’s their eco-conscious mantra, this dress is also available for rental from the Nobody’s Child website from £22.
The Eliana dress has no negative reviews online, and we can see why, but one potential drawback is that it doesn’t come in different lengths and stops at size 14. The model, who stands at 5’9 and wears a UK size 8, may make the dress appear longer on women who are 5’4 or shorter.
If you’re between sizes, be sure to check measurements online. Complete the look with Dune’s Madrina Ankle Strap Open Toe Sandals in Black, priced at £75, and this Coast Satin Embellished Hard Clutch Bag from Debenhams, now reduced to £33.75 from £45.
Alternatively, Next offers a similar style with their Black Velvet Bow Embellished Bandeau Corset Top, £42, which can be paired with jeans or trousers. French Connection also sells a Velvet Carey Satin Bow Mini Dress for £55, down from £110.
