As today is the 1st of December the festive season is officially among us. To kick start my first post of this new month I think a party dress selection is a total must! Whether you are preparing for your work Christmas party, catching up with friends for cocktails or planning a New Years Eve event, I have picked out some gorgeous pieces that are figure flattering, practical and that won’t break the bank. Horrah for the last part I hear you say.. as not one item exceeds €100 or £100.
River Island : Baroque inspired flare dress. Ideal if you are trying to create curves or if you want to balance out your figure. This dress will suit most body types. Currently a favourite style of
X-Factor starlet Ella Henderson!
River Island: Black satin and velvet prom dress – £70/ €86
Sizes 6-18
This is a flattering number, if you’ve had a few to many nibbles at your Christmas party or if you are not quiet feeling those pair of spanx on the night this will give you a great sihoutte but with some extra breathing space.
Dorothy Perkins: red and black sequined lampshade dress -£30/ €40
Sizes 6- 22
I love this Asos curve bodycon number, great for tall and curvy women. This green midi dress should come to the knee or just above. Its winter friendly with some fitted long sleeves.
Asos Curve: Exclusive body con with sleeves -£22 / €30.56
Also available in black
Sizes: 20-26
This Ax Paris curve number is a very cute party number for this festive season. Perfect for petite and curvy girls.
Ax Paris Curve range: Gold Sequin Chiffon Dress – £40/ €50
Sizes : 16 – 26
*also available in sizes 6-14 from Ax Paris
This stuning red peplum dress is a great buy as the shape is simply devine! The squared neckline is extremely flattering. If you are broad on your top half (i.e diamond shape) the thicker straps along with the detail will give you a really slimlined look. This dress is great if you want to enhance curves for apple or pencil shapes or even show them off if your an hourglass figure.
River Island: Red embellished peplum pencil dress – £50 /€62
Sizes: 6-18
*Style Me Curvy bargain*
This black dip hem number is a total bargain for under £35 and €35. Its sophisticated and will give a beautiful shape to most body types. The belt adds extra emphasis to your waistline giving the illusion of a smaller waist and a more streamlined look. Ideal for apple, pear, hourglass and diamond frames. If you have a large bust go up one size, the shape will still be extremly flattering.
New Look: black chiffon dip hem dress – £27.99/€ 34.99
Available in green, wine and deep blue sizes : 6-18
