Finding the perfect New Years Eve dress can be as difficult as finding ‘the perfect man.’

Never fear, its mission un-impossible for local designer Sofia Polak who’s got a few fashion insider tips to ensure a ‘frocking’ success.

Should we be rocking the minis or maxis this NYE?

Minis! the shorter the better, but keeping it classy of course. I have seen some great maxis around but I feel they should be more of a staple, casual garment.

Should we be looking at black, brights or prints?

New Years Eve at the Monkey Bar is going to be hot annnnnnnnnn steamy! With an exciting “Back To The Future” party planned to take you into 2010!
