Around this time last year I was in the middle of a major fashion emergency! I needed to find a fabulous dress worthy of the Emmy's in less than an hour. Did I mention it needed to be a plus-size dress? Eek! The story ended well (thankfully!)
If you're stressing over sleek gowns for a formal affair, this list reveals a closet full of options. From ruffles to strapless, and even super sexy off-the-shoulder, I picked some sassy options that feature all the right curves -- and are totally flattering on fuller figures!
