When the holiday parties [1] roll around, you can't just put on any old thing. You're going to be visiting old friends and family you haven't seen in a while, many of whom will scream, "Hey lady, let's take a picture!" While your goal shouldn't necessarily be to impress everyone in the room, you definitely want to feel confident.
That's why we did a little searching and uncovered the most flattering dress trends for every body type [2]. Since the weather has taken a turn [3] for the cold, these silhouettes all have cozy details, like turtlenecks or longer hemlines. And all it takes are a few simple accessories to jazz them up for a get-together. So relax — have a glass of Champagne. Regardless of whether you have a small bust [4], are petite [5], or were blessed with a booty [6], when you've got on one of these styles, girl, you'll look good.
