START Christmas-shopping early . . . by buying that killer outfit before the stores run out.

If you wait to buy something stunning for your festive nights-out, it's a safe bet that two things will happen.

You see a fabulous outfit but they've only got size 8 and size 18 left in it. Or, you see a picture of your dream dress like the one here, and they've already sold out and aren't getting any more in.

Be the early bird with a whole garden-full of worms to choose from at party-time by giving your credit card an airing now.

This stunner from Whistles Express at Dorothy Perkins is ideal if you want to be a Christmas cracker.

The pink strappy lace dress is £90, teamed with a purple pearl and bead-trim wrap-top at £55.

Don't think about it -- do it now!
