Sequined & Glittery Dresses That Dazzle
Sequin dresses are Christmas party gold, but they're also where things can go spectacularly wrong for curvy figures.
One of the winning approach is focusing sequins in specific zones rather than covering every inch of fabric. Concentrated sparkle directs attention exactly where you want it while avoiding the dreaded "disco ball" effect.
Another technique is sequins that transition from heavy concentration to sparse coverage across the dress. This creates natural eye movement and a visually slimming effect that's incredibly sophisticated.
Standout Sequin & Glitter Dresses
ever ORIEL: Think this burgundy dress with leaf sequin accents along the bodice and skirt. The tulle fabric creates incredible shape while the strategic sparkle adds just the right amount of glamour.
ever NOIRE: Consider an dark green dress where sequins are dense at the strap area. This dress features glitter fabric, twist front detail and sexy slit. The bodycon cut complements your curves beautifully.
ever BRYM: If you prefer more coverage, consider a sparkly long sleeve dress. This dress features eye-catching v-neckline and glitter see-through fabric - allows comfortable elegance.
Velvet Is Having A Moment
Velvet dresses are absolutely having its moment right now, and curvy women should definitely join the party.
Why velvet is perfect for curves? The natural characteristics of velvet – its drape, subtle stretch, and rich texture – make it incredibly forgiving while looking undeniably elegant.
Always choose stretch velvet over stiff velvet for the best fit and comfort.
Velvet Color Strategy
Rich jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, burgundy): These shades create visual depth while being naturally slimming.
Classic midnight blue or black: Timeless options that complement every skin tone and photograph beautifully under party lighting.
Skip these: Light-colored velvets can add unwanted visual weight. Keep pastels for other fabric choices.
Standout Velvet Styles
ever SYLVA: This navy blue stretch velvet in an a-line silhouette combines everything that works – flattering cut, luxurious feel, and perfect holiday colour.
ever AZALEA: Dark green velvet featuring a fitted top and flowing skirt creates beautiful body proportions.
ever REINE: Deep brick red velvet with statement sleeves draws focus upward while the fitted torso showcases your waist.
