Sometimes we want to dress up as glitzy and glamorous as possible. Getting ready for prom or any big event is the perfect time to go all-out when it comes to finding that perfect dress. In today’s age of mass media, being glamorous means looking like a Hollywood starlet, and this shimmering silver dress, “Strike It Rich,” is the dress to wear when walking down the red carpet.

Both the color and texture are reminiscent of the early 20th century Hollywood glory days. Pleated shimmering metallic fabric flows elegantly down the body. The ruched bodice creates fantastic texture that draws attention to the curvature of the breasts. A surplice V-neckline flirtatiously highlights the intricate design of the bodice, and brings the eye downward toward the rest of the gown. The empire waist is well defined with a rhinestone encrusted belt adding additional sparkle to the outfit. In the skirt portion of the dress, not only do the pleats create slimming vertical lines, but they generously gather the material to drape loosely over the midsection. Available sizes are unfortunately limited, so buying this gown may require costly alterations. This dress definitely flatters bottom-heavy women, but may not look so remarkable on large busted or broad shouldered women.

Since the gown is already fantastically shiny, it’s best to wear a minimal amount of jewelry. Earrings and bracelets would look lovely, but a bulky necklace would be a bit too much. Other accessories, such as gloves, would really complete the ensemble

Bellini cardigans are a definite must have for this winter season because they are such a revitalizing breath of fresh air from traditional sweaters and shrugs. They’ve become so popular that I would almost guarantee that a plus size woman could find one in every color if she wanted to. But even perfectly cut bellinis get old after a while, especially once you acknowledge that most of them don’t have the usual features of other sweaters like pockets or buttons.

The Saturday Front Tie Bellini from Kiyonna may change all of that. With a tie front that more like a built-in empire waist drawstring that a mere shoestring tie, this jersey knit fashion drapes in the most relaxed fashion from collar to cuffs. Because of its deep neckline and opened waist, it must be word with a second piece underneath, unless you seek to shock and awe.

Available in black noir and frost gray, my only legitimate complaint is that the sleeves on this rayon and spandex blend are not longer and more befitting. At $62.00, I need that little bit of extra length. Shortcomings aside, this front tie coverup would be the perfect accompaniment to a sleeveless holiday dress and a sturdy pair of dancing shoes.

Some women stop shows. Other women don’t. It’s as simple as that. If you would like to be a part of the legions of women who are known for always looking phenomenal from head to toe then come on over to the dark side by sporting the new Signature Satin Sheath Dress from Kiyonna.

Available in Imperial Purple and Jet Black, the knee length silhouette is the perfect piece to turn heads in 2010. It’s dry clean only which means it will require a bit more care than your other closet staples, but let me assure you that it is well worth it. A beautiful surplus neckline sits between two very thick straps while slight and delicate pleats below the bodice and at the sides of the waist.

While I’m not a fan of the t-crossing in the back at the zipper line, long hair or a winter shrug will cover up flaws as you see fit. For a night out on the town pair the beautiful sheath dress with a matching silk clutch, pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace to go from gorgeous to regal. Add to that a knee length wool coat in winter white and you’ll need backup to help you pick everyone’s jaws up from the floor.

I recently purchased a set of uber pricey shapewear pieces from Spanx. I was told that if I wanted to get rid of unsightly rolls and smooth out my overall appearance, that Spanx was the way to go. Well, I can’t remember who gave me that piece of advice, but I sure am glad that I listened. Now that I have a great body shaper, I don’t feel so bad about wearing a tight dress for New Year’s Eve.If you happen to have a naturally smooth appearance or if you own a great piece of shape wear, consider wearing the Anastasia Ruffle Neck Dress from Apple Bottoms to kick off the new year. With an artfully designed ruffle that runs from the neck to the center bust, this piece appears to mimic the peplum design popularized in the old days of Victorian England.

What’s so great about this form fitting silhouette is that unlike its youth inspired equals, the length of the piece makes the dress suitable for women of all ages. At 38.5 inches, the spandex and rayon fashion features a banded bottom that allows the dress to fall just above the knee. A bit too revealing for your winter weather tastes? Try pairing the dress with a bold shrug or bolero jacket for added warmth and a splash of color.

So recently I was in the store shopping for an upcoming formal event. I found the perfect dress with a seductively low neckline. I knew I didn’t have a bra to accommodate such a naughty neckline, so I searched around the store without any luck. Even though I absolutely LOVED the dress, I couldn’t justify buying it if I didn’t have the right undergarment to wear. When I got home I went online and found my solution with this Long Line, Low Back Bustier.

This sexy lace and tricot bustier is designed for complete support, even in some of your most revealing outfit’s. Lightly padded underwire cups push up and shape your breasts. The V-neckline was made specifically for low-cut tops and dresses. Body panels firmly wrap around your midsection, smoothing away your problem areas. Hook and eye closures are in the back. The garter belts are both adjustable and removable.

While the design is gorgeous, there are a few downsides to this bustier. First of all, the low back design and the lack of shoulder straps mean that your breast won’t be fully supported. The padded underwire will push your breast up, but it will feel more like a strapless bra, which some women find uncomfortable. Color is also a problem since this bustier only comes in black, so light colored dresses and tops are out of the question.

Even with the downsides, the alluring design and reasonable price of $55.95 are difficult to pass up.

For those of us with a dark side, wearing a corset as a top is tantalizing and exhilarating. This form fitting ensemble lets us show who we really are — sensually gothic divas, that is. Any fashionable vixen out there should consider adding this Rhinestone Cross Satin Corset to your wardrobe.

A shimmering rhinestone cross draws all the attention. More than just a simplistic design, this medieval inspired rendition has intricate curves that add bulk and depth to the cross. The horizontal line of the cross directs the eye toward the bust, while the vertical line points flirtatiously downward.

Beyond shimmering rhinestones, the overall design of this corset is built for all-around support. Exposed spiral boning creates shaping lines that produce a trimmer looking waist. Furthermore, the boning helps lift and define your cleavage. Shoulder straps keep the corset in place and reinforce the design for a secure fit. While the back does lace-up, this is mostly for show. Discrete hook and eye closures on the side make it easier to get in and out of this garment.

For the price of $61.50, this corset is kind of expensive. But you have to consider that certain extras are included, like detachable adjustable garter belts and matching G-string.

Wearing this corset with jeans creates a sexy casual look. Wearing it with a long skirt will make a more formal Goth outfit. Pairing it up with a short skirt and boots would be seductively stunning for women with shapely legs.

I love the lacing on a corset because it’s a quick way to tighten-up your figure. More importantly, the look and texture of ribbon that’s been laced up is seductive and risqué. For those of us who want the look of a laced-up corset without the discomfort, try this Corset Style Chemise.Immediately catching the eye, the ribbon-tie front crisscrosses provocatively over the stomach. To make sure that the ribbon stands out, the designers have chosen vivid contrasting colors. Bow accents on the straps match the ribbon and add some cutesy charm to the outfit.

Stretch knit fabric creates a sexy fit and flair style. Hugging your curves, this chemise flatters the contours of your hips and waist. A peek-a-boo hole flirtatiously shows off some skin and separates the bust from the faux-corset front. The sweetheart neckline, embellished with lace that matches the ribbon, will further accentuate your cleavage. Straps are adjustable for additional support. While this outfit is designed to give you a more hourglass looking figure, it may not do much for women whose bust, waist, and hips have similar measurements. Furthermore, this chemise was not designed for large busted women, so refer to the size chart before making your purchase.

Color options are wild and exciting. Buyers can choose between black with hot pink ribbon accents, leopard print with red accents, or pink animal print with black accents

Usually when I think of cargo pants I either think of jeans or military issue outfits. The idea of soft knit fabric being made into cargo pants seems strange, but kind of cool and interesting at the same time. I mean you get all the benefits of cargo pants, such as multiple pockets, along with the smooth comfortable fit of knit fabric. It’s definitely a combination worth considering.

There are some differences between these cargo knit pants and traditional cargos. For one thing, these are pull-on pants equipped with both an elastic waist and drawstring. A silver spring toggle adds a flash of metallic sheen. Instead of tying the drawstring in a bow, the toggle cinches down on the drawstring for a more modern industrial look. Vertical side seems along the pant legs add height, which helps to make the wearer look a little slimmer. Deep side-seam pockets are included, as well as two cargo flap pockets. Buyers should be aware that these cargo pockets are not super large. The flaps will keep the pockets covered, but not necessarily secured depending on your level of vigorous activity.

Darker shades of Chocolate and Olive Green are rich in color and fairly slimming. Since Chocolate is more of a neutral color, it will be easier to mix and match with multiple tops. Deep Wisteria is a vibrant shade of dark blue. Light khaki, an office-friendly shade, is also available

Losing weight tends to be the most common New Year’s resolution for women. Many of us have joined gyms or grouped up with workout buddies to keep motivated. A useful tip to keep up with your new workout regimen is to look good while you get in shape by wearing stylish exercise clothing, like these Side Striped Pants by Main Street Blues®.

Looking sporty will get you revved up to workout. No matter what you wear to get in shape, you need clothing that won’t slow you down. French terry cotton/polyester fabric stretches with every movement. Plus the fabric is soft on your skin as well as absorbent for when you really start to sweat. A two inch wide vertical stripe on each leg adds height and actually helps to make the wearer look slimmer. An elastic waistband with drawstring allows full control over the fit. With a generous 29 inch inseam, these pants should accommodate women of varying heights. Some hemming may be required for women shorter than 5’4”.

Colorful options are available to coordinate with multiple tops. Dusty Berry catches the eye with a vivid burst of color. Although an exciting shade, this color may not be so flattering for women who are bottom heavy. Dark Navy, True Olive, and Black are darker shades that will be far more slimming. For only $17.99-$22.99, you might have room in your budget to buy multiple colors.

According to fashion experts and magazines, wide-leg style pants are in style for spring. While I’m usually skeptical about blindly following the fashion-trend-train, especially on a tight budget, this particular style isn’t anything new or risky. In other words, it’s a classic style that’s been around for a while and has recently come back into vogue. Why not embrace the trend with items like these Wide-Leg Pull-on Peachskin Pants.

These stylish pants are actually pretty comfortable and practical. An all around elastic waistband adjusts to your body. Although the elastic causes the material to gather, which some women dislike, it can easily be concealed by a long top or jacket. Sideseam pockets offer necessary storage space. The currently trendy wide-leg design offers a non-constricting fit to keep you comfortable throughout the day. As these pants are most often worn in the office, long day comfort is essential. With a generous 29 inch inseam, these pants should accommodate women of varying heights with minimal hemming required.

As far as color goes, there are plenty of options. Black, of course, is the most neutral shade that is appropriate for almost any setting or work environment. To add more pizzazz to your outfit, however, you can try one of the four more colorful choices. Vintage Violet and Blue are darker shades that can have a moderate slimming effect on your lower body. Sage and Dusty Pink are vivid colors that will draw attention to your legs and midsection.
