Looking for an hour-glass shape, but you were not blessed with those curves? Use the gifts of fabric neatly designed with panels to gain that va-va-voom shape. Paneled dresses offer a little magic that guides the eye to believe that you have that oh-so-longed-for shape. Some might even offer that “bandage” effect where it will hug you in the right places to hide the holiday calories.
