    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Heeeeeyyyyy two questions
1)I don't know what body type I am
My waist is very noticeable
My hips and bust are almost the same (my hips
are a little bit bigger but I'm not developed yet)
And my legs are about the same length as my torso
2)is there anything you can do to make your legs
longer or at least look longer
Ppppllllleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee respond
Thx Smile




Hey babe,

Since your bust and hips are fairly equal with a defined waist in between, you sound like an hourglass shape to me Smile To create the illusion of longer legs, try wearing boots with heels and pointed toes. Avoid cropped pants (like capris) and wear full length pants. Skinny jeans could be gorgeous and make your legs look leaner/longer. High waisted, pleated skirts are also super cute for you! Smile

ok so I've hit puberty but I don't have boobs but I've got really big hips and a teeny tiny waist is that like an hourglass shape???? Oh and then do you think these would go with a denim jean jacket???







Hey girlie,

Since your bust and waist are small, but your hips are big, you're actually more of a pear shape!




And absolutely! Rock that denim jacket with confidence and it'll go with pretty much anything Smile I love the denim texture with a soft and girly dress!

hEY, i'M CONFUSED... WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'HOURGLASS' OR 'RULER' GIRLIES??? I KNOW IT'S A BODY SHAPE BUT WHAT DOES AND HOURGLASS PERSON LOOK LIKE??? WHAT ABOUT A CURVY???

 

Hey girl,

 

An hourglass shape means you've got curves and a tiny waist -- think hips and boobs, but a small natural waistline. A ruler is a thin gal who's about the same size throughout; a curvy girl has boobs, a bum, and hips (similar to an hourglass type, but you may have a waist). Here's an article that will give you the whole scoop! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/06/06/The-scoop-on-body-shapes.aspx?cp=all

Lol hey hey hey! I just got these Sugar Rush Studs from Pastry and not quite sure what to wear with them. Well, I know I could wear skinny jeans, or shorts, but I want to know what type of shirt I could wear. Help!

 

Hey girly,

 

I would totally just go with a T-Shirt. With skinny jeans, that would look totally cute.
