Nordstrom topWhether you're shaped more like Christina Hendricks or Christina Applegate, you can be on top of your style game New Year's Eve. Why wait for January 1 to start living your resolution to dress in a way that flatters the body you have, right?

This week's Flatter Your Figure has some suggestions for tops that will flatter your body, whatever your body's shape may be. The right neckline, sleeve, or waist detail might be all you need to be eye-popping and jaw-droppingly gorgeous at that New Year's party. Check out the gallery to see how you can ring in 2009 in style.

New Year's Looks for All Shapes

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • Goal: Show shapely shoulders while hiding belly bulge.
  • Goal: Show some cleavage without looking skanky.
  • Goal: Disguise a big bust, remain modest, but still look sexy.
  • Goal: Create a more feminine shape.
  • Warning!
