Check these out, too...

The holiday season is one of the most exciting times of the year, but finding the perfect dress to wear to all of the suave seasonal soirées is another story. The truth is, dress shopping is tough and because every girl has a different body type, and it’s important to find a frock that fits Y-O-U. Keep reading for GL’s ultimate holiday dress guide for every body type from curvy to boyish…

For curvy girlies...

For all you babes with rockin’ hourglass figures, show off your killer bod with a tight fitted bodycon dress. The hip golden studs give this frock the ultimate cutting edge vibe and the lines ensure to enhance your curves. Pair it with a super snazzy pair of heels and some stunning accessories and you’re ready to (jingle bell) rock!

For boyish babes…

Is your body petite with zero curves? Create the illusion of a more hourglass-esque figure with a peplum dress that amps up your waist and provides you with a curvier silhouette. Pale pink is so sweet for party dressing and the jersey fabric means you can easily take it from casual to formal, depending on how fancy the fête.

For long-legged ladies…

So you’ve got legs that go on for miles and miles? Show off those model legs with a short cut dress that allows your best feature to shine on! This taupe stunner is a high-fashion frock that’s sure to rock any long ‘n’ lean chica’s frame! Love how a rad embellished cuff adds the ultimate bling factor.

Mocha Deep V Dress, $32, makemechic.com
For pear-shaped pretties…

If you’ve got bigger hips and a bitty waist, then focus on the features you want to flaunt! This princessy gown is cinched at the waist with a flower belt to totally flatter your mini middle. The girly vibe of this dress is super pretty and will leave all eyes on you this party season.

Lacey Tulle A-Line Dress, $45, macys.com
For petite princesses…

If you’re a tiny chica, then come this holiday season you’re going to want to find a dress that gives ya a boost! This party dress has a tight fitting, corseted bodice which will accentuate your petite frame, but the poofy ruffled skirt is sure to fill you out a little too…which provides the perf contrast! This sweet, girly frock is beyond beautiful and will look totally stunning on.

I am sort of a mix of pear shaped, hourglass, and I have really long legs... What should I do??

Hey 1Derfulllife, look for clothes that make you feel comfortable. Anything that focuses on your waist will look cute. Sweater dresses with belts would be cute. High waisted skirts, jeans and shorts would work too. Hope this helps! Xoxo

MOD! what is the difference between pear shaped and hourglass? Thanks.

Pear shaped is bigger in the hips and hourglass is curvier all around.

@kpianoplayer It's not rude! That's an actual body type I'm a combination of long legged and boyish bod. It's just a body type and you shouldn't be so offended over the name.
