'I'm a size 14-16: I found 25 of the most flattering high street New Year's Eve dresses from Marks and Spencer, New Look and River Island for plus-size figures'

There is no right or wrong way to ring in the New Year, whether you are spending a night at home, or at a glitzy event with friends, loved ones or acquaintances that could turn into something else.

But I think we can all agree that the best way to say goodbye to 2023 and look forward to new horizons is by looking and feeling our best, setting the tone for the next 12 months to come.

As a size 14 to 16 myself, I know that it can be quite tricky to find the perfect New Year's Eve outfit that flatters my curves, accentuates the parts that I like about myself, and skip over all the lumps and bumps that I don't want to highlight.

Which is why I have scoured the internet to find some NYE outfit ideas that are guaranteed to stun. This year's partywear trends include sequins (of course) and velvet - a continuing trend from last year.
