This is the time of year when every girl is looking through her wardrobe for a favourite party dress to sparkle in. The sequin dress always seems to be the perfect option, but, as you may well have noticed from the pictures from the stores, when the models tend to be less than rounded, they can make the straightest, slimmest person look less so.
Sequin dresses can make you look larger, rounder, lumpier or bumpier, or they can flatter your good parts and camouflage what you don’t want to show too much. The trick is in how to choose one that will work, particularly with a curvy figure. Which quite often means dresses with strategically placed sequins rather than all over and spandex so that they fit properly. So you still get the same sparkle without going overboard.
The worst for exposure you don’t want are those with all over shiny sequins. The best have matte sequins or are cleverly designed to give you just enough shimmer but no more.
Few have long sleeves, unless they’re made in stretch sequined lace, so wear yours with a simple wrap or cardi if necessary. Polished bare legs for preference with high heels will work best with these dresses or the .finest of stockings if you must. And very little jewellery – these dresses will always speak for themselves
