Party dresses that will love your curves
Party season is here, so if you're searching for some fabulous plus-size party dresses, then look now further. Office dos and family celebrations call for a special dress code, so you don't want to sling on just any old dress over the festive period. The Christmas and New Year period gives you a great excuse to opt for something a little more glitzy than you’re used to (ideally something velvet, satin or covered in sequins).
While some look forward to getting glammed up for these annual events, it's no secret that party dress shopping can be a headache. That's why we've done the hard work for you and rounded up some of our favourite plus sized party dresses for the festive period, including a range of styles, fabrics and finishes.
We've got dresses in magenta, bright red and mocha. Plus, of course, plenty of sequins. From etherial creations at Needle & Thread to festive glamour at Live Unlimited, we should have something for every preference, at a range of high street price points.
Not sure where to start on your search for the perfect dress? Don't worry, the Good Housekeeping team has selected an array of gorgeous options that will result in a showering of compliments. So, without further ado, here are our favourite plus-sized party dresses to wear now and for years to come.
