Want to look good for a night on the town? Well nothing says sexy like a plunging neck line, but just remember to keep it classy ladies! This ASOS Metallic Wrap Dress ($80) is sexy with a plunging neckline but keeps it modest with the 3 quarter sleeves and a bit of a ruffle in the front. Plus the cooper coloring looks on lots of different skin tones. Body-con dresses are another feel sexy dress. Of course not all of us can pull off a body-con dress but one that can be flattering on curvy girls is the Nasty Gal Shine On Dress ($68). The ruched and twist on this dress can hit you in all the right places showing off your body! Since this dress is so stand out, like any stand out dress, stick with simple sleek accessories. When doing metallics still with black accessories especially when you aren't sure about your pairing since matching metallic with metallic can be tricky. If you are feeling daring try and pair up you metallic dress with a sparkling accessory like the Topshop Amethyst Multi Glitter Boots ($140).
