What makes a great piece of clothing? Here at MyDaily, we think it's about the person who is wearing it – or more accurately, how they work it.

To prove our point, we took one dress and put 12 real women from our office in it.

At £510, the draped silk dress by Catherine Malandrino, might not fit everyone's budget, but click on the gallery below and it's clear that with the right attitude and accessories, this is an investment piece with a million personalities that will take you through the party season and beyond.

And if the women in the MyDaily office are anything to go by, you'll also see that every woman has a rock star, divaor vamp inside of them, just waiting to get out.
