Choosing the right dress needn't be a headache !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every girl loves to have a new dress for the holiday party season - but sometimes the vast range of colors and styles in the shops can be overwhelming.

Christmas Styles To Flatter Your Shape

If you want to show off your shape this festive season, an elegant well-shaped Christmas dress will help flatter your figure and boost your confidence.

Often women choose simple black dresses for the annual Christmas party.  It's a classic and elegant style with so many variations that there's some perfect for all women, whatever their size or shape.  You can dress it up by adding accessorise with a little shimmer or glitzy glamour.

If you prefer something different, why not ring the changes and wear something striking in red or gold, beautiful & festive, but designed to ensure you stand out from the crowd. (and avoid wearing red and white, unless it's a festive Santa hat!)

What length should I wear?

It probably depends on what tradition for that occasion suggests.  For your work 'do' the red or black Christmas dress is classic semi formal attire.  For a more formal Christmas party a short cocktail or long evening dress may well be appropriate.  Choose fabrics such as silk, satin or taffeta for very formal occasions. 

For the annual Christmas ball, elegant evening gowns are likely to be worn by guests. However, always check the invitation which will indicated dress code.

We love this Youtube video which has four young women sharing what style of dress they'll be wearing this holiday and why:-

So ladies, don't make the mistake this Christmas of choosing a dress that would look great on a friend, but choose something in a shape, style & color to suit you! 

Voluptuous in Velvet

Choosing a sumptuous fabric, such as velvet, will not only have you looking sexy but will fall around your body flattering your curves.

A pretty red cocktail dress bring a hint of the festive season with it with its vibrant red hue.

Unless specified on your invitation, formal evening gowns are infrequently worn unless for a special occasion.

Velvet is always seen as a luxury fabric - and is ideal for keeping warm whilst looking stunning this holiday season. It's ideal for special occasions as you can look fabulous without needing to wear vibrant colours or styles.

Strapless but stylish - this type of outfit will certainly get you noticed when you walk into the room !

Add simple but elegant jewellery - team with pretty sandals that make the most of your legs and be ready for a great night of partying.

Family Christmas - what to wear

Girls love to dress up for that festive party

If you're visiting family for the holiday season, pop in a couple of smart or formal options, just in case you're invited out !  A few gold or sparkling accessories will help to add that touch of glamour.

Even the woman who doesn't normally wear formal clothing, dresses up for Christmas dinner!

It's been a tradition for mothers and daughters to wear similar or matching dresses or complete outfits.

You'll find a range of matching dresses for mother, daughter and dolly at http://www.dollyandme.com/mother-daughter.asp

For boys, wear something smart but comfortable that can be worn on other occasions - smart trousers and a well-ironed shirt, or simply wear what's comfortable yet stylish.

Holiday Weddings - dresses and outfits to suit

If you're looking for ideas as to what to wear for a Christmas wedding or reception - remember that you're trying not to outshine the bride, so bright colours are probably not the best ones to choose.

Instead, choose dresses in deep burgundy, deep greens to reflect the season without stealing the limelight or an outfit with a simple print, such as this simple yet elegant cocktail dress.

If you're on a budget, rework an existing vintage dress by teaming it with a few fabulous accessories - a shimmering belt, a glittering necklace, or some fabulous heels!

Try and buy something which you'll be able to wear for other formal occasions, but team it with fabulous statement heels for an amazing look.

Wishing you a very fashionable & Merry Christmas !
