Looking for the right dress to hide your curves? Try new colours and go for layering to make a style statement this Christmas.

Alla Buinowicz, managing director of Taking Shape - a plus size fashion brand, doles out tips to look perfect this festive season, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Here is what she suggests:

- Experiment with colours: Step out of your comfort zone and try on new colours. Christmas parties are the perfect time to do that.

- Layer up: Layer a long line body tank over trousers. Add a printed tunic, vest or top and a piece of chunky jewellery and you have an attractive outfit that you’ll feel confident in.

- Divert the eye: Try asymmetrical hemlines, crushed fabrics and textures such as mesh and lace to create stunning outfits.
