Millions of women see their confidence levels actually drop on a girls' night out - say it ain't so!

Despite spending hours beforehand getting ready, researchers found that worries about their friends looking better than them and their outfit being too skimpy, mean almost one in four women suffer from low self-confidence on a night that should be the highlight of their week!

A spokesman for New Look, which commissioned the research said:

"Most women have moments where they struggle with their body confidence, whether it's for one night or days on end," they explained. "But it's worrying to think that so many women feel that way on a night out with some of their closest friends. Not only are they among their own friends, but a girls' night out is usually when you get dressed up and look your best."

But almost a quarter admitted to feeling lacking in self-esteem on a night out with their closest girlfriends, while another one in ten feel the same while attending their office Christmas party.

It also emerged that 95% of women would change something about their body or appearance, with their overall size the most popular thing to transform.

16% would like a different waistline, while 14% wish they could change their boobs.

Legs, general body shape and height are also among the parts of a woman's body she wishes were different.

And around three quarters of women admit they have an 'ideal body' they would like to achieve, but more than three in ten of those admit that in reality, that perfect shape is unachieved or even 'impossible.'
