10 Perfect party dresses for your body type

The holidays tend to take a huge toll on our pockets and I'm not just talking about Christmas shopping. With every potluck, office bash or happy hour comes a much needed outfit. It's ridiculous how much money I've spent this season on dresses alone. Why? Because it hasn't been easy finding the perfect party dress that doesn't just work for the occasion but flatters my pear-shaped figure. The last thing any girl wants is to spend a ton of time try to pull her look together. You want something that does all the work for you so the only thing you HAVE to do is have a good time!

Pear shape

Pear shapes like mine tend to be smaller on the top than the bottom. Look for a form-fitted dress that's going to show off your hips and booty. I also love open-back styles. Missguidedus.com, $48

Big bust

Hourglass

Curvy
