We all want to look amazing when we don our party dresses for a big night out and many of us would love to loose a few pounds too. You may not have time to get to the gym before Christmas what with all the Christmas shopping and so many other things to do, but don’t worry, you can visually lose pounds instantly just by picking the right party dress to wear by following out top tips used in Film, TV and photo shoots to create a slimming effect.

One of the ways that you can get a party dress that makes you look slimmer is by choosing the right style to flatter your body shape. By wearing black or dark colours on the areas of your body that are larger you will make them look smaller and your whole body in proportion and therefore slimmer. The fit of your party dress is also important and you should always find a style and size that fits you perfectly. Finally emphasing the slimmest part of your body is a good way to look slimmer for some this is the waist and for others it will be just under the bust. The shift dress or black dresses for women can be a great choice but try a few different options to see which works best for you.

Here is our pick of the top 5 party dresses to instantly make you look slimmer:
