Christmas is just around the corner, and for many of us that means it’s officially party season. Whether its family get-togethers or New Year’s Eve celebrations, the festive period is packed with opportunities to really dress to impress. However, for many of us, this can lead to some serious dilemmas. With the temperature rapidly dropping, your party outfit doesn’t just need to be beautiful; it needs to be practical too. Not to mention the ever-present difficulties of finding attractive plus-size clothing on the high street. Fortunately, you can usually get around these little challenges by following a few simple guidelines.

The first rule of thumb is this – every plus size woman should have at least one little black dress in their wardrobe. The little black dress a classic with good reason; it’s versatile, slimming and always bang on trend. This season is all about above-the-knee, so look out for mid-length skirts paired in light, flowing cuts to skim your curves. Don’t fall into the trap of wearing anything too baggy though. Ideally, look for ladies dresses that fasten just below the bust, giving your body ...
... definition but still draping attractively to disguise any problem areas.

If you don’t feel comfortable exposing your upper arms, consider a batwing sleeves or a shawl. This can add extra value by helping to keep you warm in colder weather. You may think shawls are ageing, but a lightweight ‘gauze’ style paired with some subtle jewellery like a pendant necklace can really nail on that elegant old-school Hollywood look.

Similarly, if you’re worried about cold legs, many black dresses look stunning with matching tights or stockings. Instead of the standard party heels, consider experimenting with ankle boots – far more comfortable and just as stylish! You can find many varieties of heeled boots that work just as well in terms of adding height and giving your legs some definition.

If you find that the selection of plus size clothing on your local high street is less than inspiring – as is often the case unfortunately – don’t despair. Many online retailers specialise in fashionable plus-size ladies dresses, often at lower prices than their competitors. Take some time to shop around – look out for established, trustworthy brand names with a good returns policy to ensure you don’t lose out. With a little creative shopping you should have no problem feeling like the belle of the ball this Christmas.
