16 Plus Size New Year's Eve Dresses That You'll Want To Keep On Way Past Midnight

The end of 2018 is approaching at a lightning fast speed, which means the biggest party night of the year is also almost upon us. Excitingly, it's an evening where shining like a disco ball is not only acceptable, but encouraged. Below are 16 plus size New Year's Eve dresses that will help you dazzle appropriately and ensure that you'll turn major heads, no matter what kind of party you step into. If you're not into sequins or glitter, fear not. While I don't understand your aversion to shimmer (the more, the better, as I see it), I made sure to include some non- glitzy selections that will still be sure to stun.

From sweeping silk gowns and sexy body con styles to off-the-shoulder necklines and yes, plenty of glitter, the below selection of dresses will have something for everyone. Pick out the one that calls your name, scout out the perfect piece of jewelry to compliment it with, and sling on your favorite pair of heels. Or, let's be real, flats. Because no one wants to be on their feet well past midnight in sky-high stilettos. To finish off the look, why not go with uber glittery lids or a strong pout? Bring on the drama.

Happy shopping and happy (almost!) New Year!
