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
A dress with a V-neck flatters a big bust and shows off some subtle cleavage. Forever21.com, $25
Hourglass
An hourglass body looks good in pretty much anything, but a pencil dress is sexy without looking to over the top. Hm.com, $35
Curvy
Show off those curves in a hip-hugging, mid-length dress. Black always flatters. Forever21.com, $16
Round
The key is to give the illusion of a smaller waist. Look for a belted A-line dress style. Forever21.com, $16
Short
Look for a dress with high-hem that will make your legs appear longer. Asos.com, $85
Tall
If there's one girl that can rock a maxi dress it's a tall one. A high-slit shows off those long, lovely legs of yours. Asos.com, $72
Big arms
Self-conscious about your arms? Look for a dress with lace, quarter-length sleeves. It slims your arms without looking too covered. C21stores.com, $50
Panza
Hide that pesky post-pregnancy belly with a chic wrap dress. It's figure-flattering and never goes out of style. Gilt.com, $79
Rectangular shape
If you have a boyish figure, opt for a dress that's going to create curves and volume. Something A-line or ruffled will do the trick. Topshop.com, $230
