Plus Size Party Fever

Have you planned your Christmas party outfit yet?

Gone are the days when choosing your festive party dress meant a disheartening trip to the high street for a choice of frumpy tent like outfits more suited to a night in front of the telly.

Now the choice in plus size evening wear can make you the envy of all fashionistas in attendance.

For example, the new satin jewels dress from Curvety is sure to wow at your festive events. Created with the curvy figure in mind, in sizes 16 to 36, this satin dress has a small element of stretch to guarantee a perfect fit, plus it's fully lined to give a flattering silhouette. It is available in black or dusky pink to suit your mood and finished with three oversize jewels to the ruched bust to dazzle perfectly.

The Colour Purple

If you wear one colour this season it has to be purple. Vibrant, sexy & powerful, The Autumn/Winter violet trend is anything but shrinking.

A huge hit on the runways, being utilised in the collections of many designers including Versace and Alberta Ferretti (pictured). It has also been adopted by the high street in both fashion and homeware and is sure to brighten up the colder months.

According to the rules of feng shui it also symbolises prosperity - which certainly can't hurt at the moment! Although bold, purple is very versatile. Mix it with greys & blacks for less of a statement look - or go all out purple to stand out from the crowd.

If, like me, you have fallen in love with the Alberta Ferretti dress pictured, there is a similar style plus size evening dress in purple chiffon (pictured) available at Curvety.com.
