What does a woman really want? To walk into a room and hear a pin drop. Not because the party is slow to start. No, no. Because her jaw-dropping, traffic-halting, show-stopping outfit has brought all conversations to a standstill.

And how, then, does a woman render a whole room speechless with her fashion sense? I thought you'd never ask.

Plus-size brand Addition Elle is all about stealing the spotlight this holiday and beyond. With everything from sequin-embellished LBDs to velvet bustiers, it’s your one-stop shop for all things glam. Here’s a tour of what you’ll find online.

Sparkly sequins

They twinkle, they glitter, they dance in the light. Sequins add a glamorous glow to any outfit—provided they are used tastefully (read: not in excess).

Your outfit of choice for an elegant holiday shindig: go strapless with a blazing black sequin-embellished cocktail dress, and accessorize it with extra-long fireball earrings, a nice oversized ring, and a pair of cute party shoes.

Lacy details

Glamifying your style can be as simple as choosing the right fabric or pattern. Lace for example, or lace prints, inject your look with a touch of vintage elegance worthy of silver screen sirens.

Put a spin on the regular LBD with a strapless lace-print dress. The design’s pleated waistband and front pockets give it a modern feel, perfect for your next cocktail party. Tie up your hair, wear sky-high pumps, and show ‘em what you’ve got.

Nights in black (or purple) satin

Satin is as sophisticated as it gets when it comes to puttin’ on the Ritz for the holidays (or any other occasion for that matter). My advice? Keep it simple.

Slip into a strapless black satin dress and top it off with a black satin bolero for more coverage. Not bold enough for you? Opt for the striking purple variation instead and spice it up with purple-stone bangles.

Soft velvet

Luxurious, majestic, and irresistible to the touch, velvet encapsulates lavish sophistication. There's only one rule: apply with moderation.

Showcase your curvy silhouette in a gorgeous black or red MXM velvet bustier, and complete the look with black MXM Chloe pants. The only jewelry you need is a pair of long filigree teardrop earrings.

With an extensive list of sexy, chic and ultra-glam pieces to choose from, full-figured fashionistas will find everything they need to sparkle and shine their way through the holidays. Visit Addition Elle’s online boutique for a peek at what’s in stores now. And remember, ladies: less is more.
