Can you believe we're in Christmas week already?! The biggest party night of the year fast approaches - New Year's Eve. Its just typical that mere days after stuffing ourselves full of mince pies, turkey and pudding (not to mention all the booze!) we attempt to squeeze ourselves into a party dress and feel our most fabulous. Here are my top tips for rocking your party frock this December 31st.
- If you're looking to cover up post-Chrimbo lumps and bumps, look for rouching and draping details on dresses, especially over the tummy area. These will disguise a multitude of sins!
- Get the length right - if you're petite, a shorter dress can be easier to carry off. If you're determined to go for a maxi, make sure it's not too voluminous so you don't get lost!
- Look at the waistline of your dress - if you're straight up and down or are rounded then look at empire lines which will disguise your lack of waist, or straighter, more tailored styles. If you have a defined waist, show it off with a nipped in or belted style to instantly lose visual pounds!
- If you're not happy with your arms after a winter of them being covered up, you don't have to resort to a shrug. There are loads of party frocks out there this season with sleeves.
- Sparkle is fantastic, but if you are curvy be careful with the all-over sequin styles that are about this winter. They can reflect light off, and therefore draw attention to the areas you'd like to hide. Instead look for sequin panels, and sparkly details to show off your festive spirit.
- Remember, it doesn't have to be an LBD! Wear one of your best colours to feel like the belle of the ball.
- Look at the scale of the dress details compared to your own scale - larger ladies will be able to carry off larger details such as buttons, bows and pattern, whereas petites will look better with neater styles.
