Size18+ - please tell me what you wore for your Christmas Do, or are planning to?

I went shopping today and nothing at all grabbed my attention. I could wear a maxi, leggings and top or midi dress. Bad legs, good boobs. Please inspire me!

This is nice.

This might not be your thing but I always wear lady v London stuff. It is ace.

I'm contemplating this : link

Never bought online before as I'm crap at sending stuff back but choice in shops is rubbish!

This is anathema to s&b afficionados but have you got a Roman near you? I got a silver sheath/ shift dress for Xmas parties. It was £40 and looks a lot more expensive, and fits my size 20 bulk very well, especially if dressed up with good accessories. They have ghastly tat and then one or two good pieces if you spend time sorting through it.

You know what, I like all your choices. I think it just shows how bad things are in "bricks and mortar" shops if the best picks are online. Also, more retro lines suit curves better. Thanks.

I'm wearing a dark green fit-and-flare dress with 3/4 length sleeves and a bit of frippery on the cuffs and hem. Can't link as not on the site anymore. I do recommend shopping online for plus-size clothes in general though.

Frippery - that's what I need more of in my life

If I had a Christmas party to go to I think I might wear this

I tried it on (size 18) and it was lovely but I don't have anywhere to wear it at the moment.

I've bought that dress magicpuppy. I'm a 16 but with massive boobs and I thought it might be quite flattering. Sadly, on me, its really clingy and makes my arse look huge! It's a shame as it was a bargain.

That's a pity napoleon. Will you be able to return it? I'm an apple and an 18 on top but smaller on the bottom so maybe that it why I thought it looked ok on me.

Yes, I can take it back. I have a 'do' tonight that I was planning on wearing it for, and thought it would be nice and sparkly and festive. I do have a largish arse at the best of times, so that's probably why it didn't look great. Never mind, I have a fall back dress, so all OK :)

i also have that tesco dress (size 18) - big tum, smaller boobs and thought it looked good! there's another similar one that has a v neck back that i thought looks nice too (but not tried on!)

Top from Wallis with black trousers. Their stuff is pretty flattering and the sizes are very generous.

Off to check out Wallis now

I wore a black wrap dress from Asos with red tights and a red necklace, bracelet and clutch bag.

Standard LBD from Wallis safe but a bit boring compared to the lovely dresses everyone else has.

Jenna, the lace makes it gawjus. I bet you look stunning.
