While there is a time and a place for a form-fitting dress, the festive period arguably isn't one of them. It's the time of year for parties, which, if you're doing them correctly, should involve dancing (the more questionable, the better). What you certainly don't want is to be restricted by your attire when your favourite (probably Beyoncé) song comes on.
Well, rejoice, dear reader, for we've found the perfect outfit that'll allow you to do both the aforementioned activities without fear of feeling bloated or that your clothes are too constricting. Cue the oversized dress.
