For full-figured women, cocktail dresses made of velvet are elegant and chic. Jewel-toned velvet works wonders on curvy women and work to flatter your figure instead of hide it.

Today, I would like to talk something about how to find a suitable cocktail dress for yourself. When you put on a cocktail dress, your main goal is to look smokin’ hot. Easier said than done, because not every style fits every body type. Stylist and Chicago fashion maven April Francis (founder of The Haute Closet) strips down the basics of body types and spotlights what cocktail dresses we should be wearing to enhance our greatest assets. In other words, how to choose a most suitable cocktail dress to hide some flaws here and there. The first secret is Do a full skirt with a belt, or a nipped waist with a belt if you have a small waist, says Francis. If you want to hide your legs but show off your waist, Francis recommends a maxi dress — a floor or ankle-length dress that’s form-fitting at the top and loose and flowing at the bottom. Another secret is that Short and curvy girls should steer toward something short and sleeveless with a defined waist. But be sure to stay away from the maxi, as this will make you appear shorter.
