Holiday Savings for You: Dresses For Every Shape

1. Chic Styled Dress (NY & Co): This holiday dress is soft and pretty, with a hit of shape thanks to a tie-waist style. It's a little bit Grecian in design, but I can totally imagine someone like Padma from Top Chef wearing it with aplomb! Best suited for those with a smaller bust.

2. Isaac Mizrahi Pencil Dress (Target): Simple and classic, this holiday dress will probably find its way back out of your closet to accompany you to special occasion gatherings and possibly dates as well. All you need is a great strapless bra and an amazing pair of pumps to be ready for the night (fine, and some earrings).

3. City Style Strapless Dress: Another strapless beauty, but this time slightly more edgy. A contrast belt in black makes this dress easy to match with staple accessories like a black clutch and bag, and you can skip the necklaces if you like for a cleaner look.

4. Mossimo Black Tie Neck Baby Doll Halter (Target): A sweet look for a younger holiday partygoer, this halterneck dress is available in a vibrant pink color in the Mossimo Black label. Expect high quality and consider this a dress that will make its "cost per wear" very attractive indeed! Soft sheer outer shell is floaty and great for warmer holiday climates.

5. Retro Shirt Dress (Couture Candy): Sometimes you need something a little more "buttoned up" to meet with the in-laws or with your grandparents. This is it-- the red floral is rather festive and the overall look lends itself perfectly to a wrap, cardigan, or cropped jacket.

6. Mossimo Black Smocked Keyhole Dress (Target): A blousy dress can look super-sexy when you pair it with high leather boots, and you can even experiment with patterned tights and old-fashioned hats to set this look apart from others. A waist tie defines and shapes.

7. Goddess Cocktail Dress (Couture Candy): Show off a little cleavage in this shiny halter dress--I recommend Spanx as an underlayer to avoid any strange seaming underneath, and consider the use of some sticky Hollwood Tape to avoid any unwanted bust escapage.

8. Studded Dream Dress (Couture Candy): Love the adorementioned dress by need more edge? This studded dress in turquoise has a tough look and incorporates the same shoulder-baring look as the other, but without coming up and over the neck. Perhaps you should add both to your shopping list?

9. City Style Velvet Dress (NY & Co): Velvet is a holiday classic and one that we love to see in classic shapes. This dress is almost sleveless and has a deep v-shape that's alluring but tasteful.
