Thick Waisted: A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz ($295)
See ya, Spanx! Pleats flowing down the skirt make your waist appear nipped. The jeweled neckline draws their eye up. No need for jewelry with this sparkler.
Tis the season to celebrate the holidays! And with the holidays
come the sparkle and fun of dressing up! Not sure what would look
good on you or what's on trend? Don't stress!
SELF's fashion team has done all the work by
choosing fabulous holiday frocks and killer styles that work for
all different body types. Find one that works for you!

Can we get examples that costs less than or equals to $150? There is no way in Hades that I am going to afford (or even have the inclination to buy even if I could) a dress for $600... :-| but I would like to see some examples in the more reasonable price range...

I just get tired of seeing expensive examples for different body types. I don't have an eye to transfer these examples over to what's more affordable.

You have heard that we're in a recession right? How can anyone justify spending over $200 on a dress when we currently have the highest unemployment rate in years?! There are much more important things to focus on this holiday season. We should be with our family/friends, sharing in the JOY of the holiday season, not concerning ourselves with the latest trends/hottest dresses. The true meaning of the holidays is being b------ ized with so much focus on who's wearing what and what gifts everyone received. Open your eyes and you hearts this year, not your wallets.

The last one looks like dried up vomit stuck on a dress.

How about something a bit longer? Some of us are a bit mature for mini dresses...:)

I am a mother of two, who has the inevitable "pooch" where my c-section selltled. NONE OF THESE WOULD DO ME JUSTICE. And for the price of most of them I could spend the day at a spa and come out looking and feeling a bit better than my badgered self I am right now. This is CRAZY to put these type of dresses out there for the "general" public and try to pass them off as the only ones that could/will flatter "all shapes." Fooey on this group of people for even suggesting these as possibilities when the economy is in such a RUT!
