I'm overweight but not by a lot. (have lost 40lbs and have 25 to go) I work out and have been losing weight over most of my body but my hips and lower body are still bigger than they should be. What type of dress or cut will minimize my problem area? The dress will be for a nice Christmas cocktail party.

A good rule of thumb is to follow Clinton and Stacy's advise from what not to wear. Accent the smalles part of you. If you are thinner through your middle Go with something draws attention to that area. If you have a thinner rib cage go with an Empire waist. Choose something that drops from the widest part such as an "A" line skirt and if you have really great legs and are younger than 35 you can get away with a short skirt.

Anything with a flare that starts at the waist will look great. If you've got an hourglass figure, find something that fits closer to your body on the top and flares toward the bottom. If you wear tights and a slip underneath, the fabric of the dress will slide over you and not stick to you with static, making the dress fit better..

One with a waistline that is higher than the natural waistline
(known as an empire waistline) in a fabric that will float away from the body would look good. You might want a neckline or jewelry that draws attention to the upper part of your body would help also. Congrats on the weight lose!

whilst it particularly is executed in one in all those Tweedy, or Tyler than yeah, it particularly is totally lulzy. Double standards are humorous. BQ: Tupac and Kanye West have lyrics that should be cosidered racist, they're arguably extra useful than Ice cube yet on the different hand Ice Cubes lyrics are particularly much less Black Pantherish and a sprint extra KILLAHONKYish..

Okay, I got you! You should try a halter top styled dress. It takes away from the midsesction and draws attention away from your arms. The length should be about 3 inches PAST the knee. My advice to you would be to skip the shawl, your taking away from the dress and yourself.

I think an A-line cut is flattering.
Here's a cute website for ideas

A-line would be flattering. It will flare out at the hips and not accentuate them so much.
