Party Looks This Season
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 curvy ladies out there...
Curvy ladies are the envy of most people, as they have the bust and the boobs to pull off some spectacular outfits. It's important not to go for trends which will cling during this festive period, instead opt for loose, floaty fabrics.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that loose fabrics mean frumpy, as there are some stunning kaftans out there, covered in glitzy sequins and sparkly lurex.
Also don't rule out leggings for a party choice, as they can look great teamed with heels and a long top to cover your bum. Even the skinniest of ladies do not want to be flashing their rear in leather, sparkly or wet look leggings this season.
Going for mid-length skirts, which have a style to them and will also flatter your figure. For example choose a tulip style which is fitted on the hips and flares out a bit further down. Tuck in a party top to create the illusion of a thinner waist and off you go!
Lace is a huge trend this season and if you don't fancy flashing your arms off, then why not pick a dress or top that has lace detail sleeves? It will look elegant and chic, plus teamed with tummy tucking in pants, will give you a slimmer outline.
Here's our top picks for the curvy lady out there...
Gothic Girl
Come over all gothic in this outfit, which will look great on curvy ladies. We've teamed this stunning backless lace top with a tulip skirt and platform high heels. To complete the look we've added a sparkly bow bag clutch to add some sparkle this Christmas.
