| Top 10 Christmas Holiday Dresses by Sarah Testa With Christmas and New Year's Days only a couple of weeks, I thought it was fitting to remind you all of our final list of plus size dresses, which I recommend full figured women take a look at, as options to wear during the holiday season. If you have read the last issue of Loving My Curves, you will remember that I had released our preview list, which included the top 5 plus size Christmas holiday dresses I had our eye on. This was only the preview list, as it was a little too early to conclude things; I was sure our favorite plus size clothing stores still had more in store for us. And I was right! Our favorite stores brought out their holiday dresses and fashions. In fact the final list has been extended to list 10 plus size dresses which are perfect for the holidays! Some dresses have changed positions, some have stayed where they were, and others have been pushed out of the list by better options. Without further ado, I shall leave you to look at our chosen dresses, starting off with out winner:  1. Fiorella Lace Gown with Shrug in Red from IGIGIOur true winner from IGIGI still holds the top spot! This gorgeous gown remains our top favourite dress to wear during the special Christmas holiday season. Colored perfectly in red, the lace make it look chic and warm at the same time. Beautiful stretch lace has an iridescent effect due to a contrasting lining. Details include a skirt that is flared from the knee due to a number of the sheer chiffon godets; empire waist is trimmed with a velvet panel. This gown is shipped with a velvet shrug; saving you the added hassle of finding matching shawls and shrugs. This dress is currently available in sizes 14 to 32.

"There are many colorful sayings that we use to express and reiterate our uniqueness from one another: “different strokes for different folks” and “whatever floats your boat” are only a few that people use every day. Every woman is diverse in her shape, preferences, style, and even budget. My mother used to joke that she could send my sister and I into the mall for a white shirt and black pants. We could find almost similar looking items, but I would have spent under $50. My sister would spend $50 just on the top."

Missphit: Curvy Fashion Line with a Sparkle A few months ago, I got to know Yul Kwon, who is the managing director of a budding 'new' plus size fashion line called Missphit, a store which has already been featured in Loving My Curves, in past weeks.
