The Credit Crunch Christmas Party Outfit

Thought I'd post to tell you of my success in Finding the Perfect Christmas Party outfit without breaking the bank!
I'm beginning to like Credit Crunch Shopping!! :T
Little Black Dress - Matalan - £20
Sparkly Clutch Bag - Matalan - £2.50
Shapewear Tights - Matalan - £2.50
Shapewear Knickers - Matalan - £1 (Sale)
Lace Embroidered Bra - Tesco - £1.25 (Sale)
Leather Shoes (Heels) - Asda - £6
Total - £33.25 :xmassmile
And best of all I had £30 Love to Shop Vouchers saved from Cash Back Sites which I spent in Matalan!!
The Dress is pretty much the same as one selling in the Next Directory for £40 - Silky, Shiny and lined and it best of all it doesnt look cheap!
Can anyone do any better?

Not better, as such, but I found a nice blue dress on Evans website reduced from £60 to £10 (free delivery & returns over £30 at the moment & Quidco too!), which I'll team with some silver shoes bought ages ago for £10 and a wrap my DH bought my for an anniversary pressie. That'll do me for Christmas day...topped with my ultra-glam santa hat! :santa2:Cross Stitch Cafe Monthly Challenge Member #27
