According to the study, it's not a just a matter of minutes or hours which women spend preparing for a Saturday night outing - but days.

The incredible amount of fore-thought, deliberation and discussion women plough into which outfit, shoes and accessories to wear emerged in a study of 2,000 women - with the day that they start planning their weekend look being on Wednesdays.

Such precision and planning typically requires over ten text messages, three emails, five phone calls, eight posts on Facebook and three tweets, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

Nearly two hours is spent on-line researching outfits, venues and even the weather, the poll found.

 

Three quarters of females said they liaise with their friends prior to the night out to find out what they are planning to wear.

The poll found that nearly two-thirds of the girls enjoy getting ready for a night out more than any other aspect.

Sixty per cent said that they like experimenting with fashion, with seven per cent swapping clothes with each other.

One in 20 partcipants will put in hair extensions, 20 per cent of girls will add fake eye-lashes and six per cent will even go for whitening their teeth before a night out.

A whopping one in twenty girls will also use fake tan and over half will straighten their hair.

Sixty-three per cent of those polled said they would insist on having a new outfit, spending on average 50 pounds.

On the night itself, women start getting ready at 5.50 pm, dedicating two hours to preen and perfecting their look.

And it's no wonder it's a lengthy process, with the average woman trying on at least three different outfits, the report said.

It's not until 8.23 pm that the group of girls (four polled as the perfect number for a night out) are ready to leave, uploading an average of eight photos to Facebook and Twitter throughout the evening.
