Still looking for that perfect party dress? Panicking about what to wear over the Christmas period? Well we've found the perfect outfit for you, no matter what body shape you are.
FemaleFirst is on a mission to get everybody looking fantastic this Christmas, working the key winter trends but adapting them to your shape. Today we'll be dressing all the plus size ladies out there...
To streamline a plus size figure try and include vertical lines in your outfit, but avoid horizontal lines.
Choose darker fabrics such as black, navy or brown and avoid ditzy prints. If you want a pattern on your clothes go for something with overlapping shapes, as it is the space between patterns that makes them unflattering.
Avoid clingy clothes but don't think that baggy clothes make you look slimmer. Body conscious clothes that hint at your curves.
To smooth out any lumps and bumps invest in some control pants or an all-in-one shaper.
Also take advantage of accessories and jewellery and use them to highlight your best features such as your face or cleavage.
This black Evans dress is perfect. The floaty skirt will hide any problem areas and the empire line will cinch you in at your narrowest point. The sequins add a festive feel. Add a splash of colour to the outfit with these hot pink T-Bar shoes, £31.32 from ASOS.
Finally draw attention to your face with these drop earrings, £8 from Miss Selfridge. perfect!
