Ugh, we know. You procrastinated long enough and now you’re without a dress for whatever parties you still have to attend, including New Year’s Eve. Well, consider this the one and only time that waiting until the last minute will be in your favor — we found the best holiday dresses, and we did it by body type too.

Got a long and lean silhouette? Embrace your supermodel height with a sinuous midi- or floor-length dress that easily skims over your frame.
