‘Tis The Season To Be Jolly

Right ladies it’s that time of year again where we’re all fretting about the latest crimbo presents and how big our turkey needs to be and the how Uncle Albert likes his vegetables cooked.

So in amongst all these worries it’s easy to forget about our LBD/party frock. Another thing to worry about, what to wear to our Christmas party ?

When you’re considering party dresses, anything goes. And at Christmas you can vamp things up to the max. Whether you’re having drinks out in a bar with colleagues or celebrating at home with family and friends, your Christmas look should be stunning !!

Sequins, Lace and sheer fabrics are all a big look this season and teamed with a pair of knock out heels and a few carefully selected accessories, you should be turning heads where ever you are.

Get the look with some of our faves like the BoudoirLace Dress in Red, The Luna Lace dress. The Ekanta Beaded Dress or the ever glamorous Garbo Evening Gown.

Whatever you decide to wear, everyone here at the Curvety Office hope you have a very happy, Safe, and Glamorous Christmas Season.

Last Minute Xmas Stocking Fillers

The big day is fast approaching and if you're anything like me it's just about time to start running round in a shopping panic.

Here are a few handy stocking fillers which can be ordered online to save you some stress this season.

This gorgeous stones necklace is made from semi precious stones. It is a beautiful piece which will complete an outfit in style without breaking the bank.

I also love this stunning scarf/shawl in black and nude which is the perfect accompaniment to the many lovely dresses around this season.

Finally my favourite bag of the season - the faux mink fur oversize bag. This is truly luxurious and is guaranteed to be appreciated!

Plus Size Party Looks

The festive season is truly here & with it numerous parties, gatherings & events. I thought I would share my top 3 party outfits for the curvy plus size woman to celebrate this fab season in style.

House Parties - I love a good house party which is the perfect way to catch up with all of your friends & family and have a good natter, a few drinks, and a bit of a dance in a relaxed atmosphere. It is often a hard occasion to dress for as you need to get the right balance between smart & casual. For this year's house parties I will be wearing this jewelled charmeuse camisole in Autumn's hot colour block trend with jewelled neckline. Pair with favourite jeans and some fabulous shoe boots.

The Office Party - Your work party is the perfect chance to let your hair down with your colleagues and show them the 'real' you - outside of your work suit or uniform. I like to keep the look sophisticated, whilst suitably dazzling like this layered dress in chocolate which is sure to wow the bosses - roll on promotion!

Dinner Date - Every year a large group of us visit a local restaurant for a civilised evening, chatting, eating and sipping wine. As always, I love an excuse to dress up but getting it right is important. This year I will be wearing this smart & on trend cashmere satin jewelled dress with matching jacket. By pairing the dress with opaque tights and the cropped jacket with long gloves you will ensure that your entire outfit is this season's hottest look.

Live it Large this Christmas

If you fancy a festive party this year then this may be the one for you. Biggie's is a club specifically catering for plus sized people, and for friends who are size accepting. They put on a number of events each year in the Brittania Basement Bar in Monument, London. The Christmas event is black tie, so a perfect excuse to get dressed up and look gorgeous.

Founder Lil says: 'We have worked hard to build a club with a friendly atmosphere, good reputation and to always provide great value for money."

"I have been asked for the last two years to make our Xmas shin-dig a bit fancy, so this year, I'm doing it. Our Xmas Party has now become our Xmas Black Tie Ball, so guys, dust off your swankiest suits and ladies, it's time to get those ballgowns out of mothballs."

A good number of tickets have already been sold for this event and it is recommend you buy your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. You can buy them online at Lovingitlarge.co.uk.
