    Ravishing red

    Ah, the classic red holiday dress updated with flowy dolman sleeves. So chic! Plus, the subtle draping at the bust won't add too much of a good thing up top.

     

    Dolman Wrap Dress – Crimson, $48, nastygal.com

    Twinkling tinsel

    It's not a holiday party without shiny metallics on the guest list – especially when it's dainty brocade. We love that the fitted princess seams on the bodice bump this dress full VIP status.

     

    Proclaiming Pretty Dress, $58, modcloth.com

    White in the winter? You bet! The contrasting ribbon and flower against the snowy white draw all eyes to your narrow waist. Who can resist?

    Blue Christmas

    Normally billowy dresses are a no-go for girls with curves, but this brilliant blue number defines your  figure without hiding it.

     

    Paper Snowflake Blue Dress, $41, lulus.com

    Green no-sleeves

    Green and lace, two festive faves, come together at last with this curve-hugging number. Polish it off with a bitty gold belt at your waist.

     

    Silence & Noise Bodycon Lace Dress, $69, urbanoutfitters.com

    Rosy glow

    Yes, there are winter florals that aren't poinsettias. Pair with a black belt at the gathered waistline and opaque black tights to avoid looking like a way-too-early-for-spring bloomer.

how do i dress if i have an hourglass figure, am medium height , is athleic, and busty




Hey girl!

An hourglass figure is a great thing to have! You need to show it off. Belted high waisted shorts or a dress with a belt will accentuate your waist. Flared jeans with wedges will show off your awesome athletic legs.

how do you figure out your body shape? i always have no idea what to wear to flatter my figure




Hey girlie,

It's all about proportions. How are your shoulders, compared to your hips? Is your waist tiny in between larger boobs and hips? Are your hips bigger than your shoulders/chest? Are you skinny and straight all the way down? You gotta figure out where you carry your curves (if any), then you can figure out what your size is!
