The holiday season brings holiday parties that you shouldn’t avoid attending just because you’ll have to go shopping for plus-size holiday dresses. Here are the top five tips you should keep in mind when trying to find the perfect holiday dress to make you stand out at any holiday party you find yourself invited to this year.
plus-size holiday dresses
1. Avoid buying clothes made out of extremely light material, very clingy material, or silky material. Very light material is more appropriate for warmer times of the year. Clingy material plays up your body’s flaws and tends to bunch and pull at inopportune areas on your body, and even some super thin women cannot pull off silky material. It’s also a good idea to avoid buying plus-size holiday dresses have pleats, gathers, or extra bunches of fabric since it will just add to your bulk and make you appear heavier than you need to. Organza, silk shantung, and velvet are wonderful fabrics for plus-size holiday dresses. You can find the dress here.
2. Halter tops and v-neck dresses are ideal for plus-size holiday dresses since they accentuate your curves while still allowing you to wear a bra underneath the dress to give you any support you need. Try to avoid turtleneck or mock-turtleneck tops, which can squeeze your bust together and make it look less defined and less sexy. You can find the dress here.
3. If you choose a dress with short sleeves or straps, find a matching a coordinating wrap or shawl to help you cover your shoulders. Not only will it keep you warm if it’s cold at the party, but it will camouflage your arms if you’re uncomfortable with how they look. Wraps made out of velvet or silk are wonderful pieces with most plus-size holiday dresses.
4. Black is a wonderful color for plus-size holiday dresses. Black is extremely slimming any time of the year, but for the holiday season, it is especially hot and appropriate. Pair a black plus-size holiday dress with a wrap in a bright color or with a bright pattern, along with some oversize earrings to complete your holiday party-ready ensemble.

5. Make sure you’re wearing the right underwear for your body so your plus-size holiday dress fits correctly. There are many undergarments available that are skintight and will smooth away any unsightly bulges that you might normally have under your clothes. If you are a plus-size woman who is larger on top, it is absolutely essential that you wear a bra that is extremely supportive and has an underwire. Holiday parties tend to last a while, may include dancing, and will definitely have you standing around talking with people for hours. You don’t want to take a chance of being uncomfortable in your dress or underwear while you’re mingling with the crowd. Even worse would be if you start dancing at a holiday party and jiggle or bounce too much in relation to the amount of support you have.
