Frocks That Rock

Playing online bingo is just great. You don't need to wear anything fancy, you can play in your slippers and pjs, in your comfiest clobber or, if you really want to in nothing at all!

But whenever we step away from all the bingo fun and games, there is an underlying aspiration to look our utmost best. But for that big Valentine's Day dinner, that desire is even bigger. We want our other halves to see us and think "Wow! Being out with her on my arm is 100-times better that winning a bingo jackpot!"

Problem is for the large majority of us, shopping for our shape is far less fun than playing Littlewoods bingo games. We don't look like the women modelling the clothes and we feel bad about that, leaving the shop convinced we are the ugliest, fattest and most unsightly thing to try on that dress and hurry back to the comfort of top online bingo.

Well girls, it's time to leave those feelings the door because Tea Break's lined up a wardrobe of wearing wonders regardless of your shape. Seriously, it's bigger than any bingo prize, better than any bingo promotion and all at a price that doesn't need a bingo jackpot budget! So whether you're an apple, pear, oblong or 'Peter Crouch', we've got the dress for you.

Bingo Shape number 1:
The Bingo Ball

Bingo ball bodies, or Apple shaped, are usually the most body conscious. They concentrate on their round frame and fail to see that fabulous cleavage, toned arms (probably developed from all that online bingo playing!) and beautiful calves and ankles. It's these areas you need to focus your style around.

Wrap dresses are a godsend. They flatter a fuller figure by slimming the hips and disguising the belly. Bingo balls should stick to one colour per outfit and black is definitely the best colour for creating a slimmer look.

Try this elegant little black dress from Jasper Conran at Debenhams. Being sleeveless and just below the knee, it shows off all your best bits and the V-type neckline draws attention to those lovelies! To us at Littlewoods Bingo, this understated outfit speaks volumes.

Bingo Shape number 2:
The Hourglass

Probably one of the most sort after shapes, the Hourglass is the epitome of all things woman! With curves in all the right places, if you are an hourglass you are the envy of every woman here at Littlewoods Bingo!

Thanks to likes of Beyonce and J-Lo, curves are back and those of you bingo players with an hourglass figure should be flaunting it for all it's worth. Stop fretting if your bum looks big and just accentuate that waist!

This beautiful dress from Next is ideal. Nipped in at the waist with this fantastic bow, it is the perfect dress to slip onto an hourglass figure. We love it so much, we're going to buy one just to play online bingo in!

Bingo shape number 3:
The Peter Crouch

What is the Peter Crouch, some of you may ask? Well for those of you non-football fans, Peter Crouch is a footballer, 6ft7 with bambi-like legs and Stretch Armstrong arms!

That hardly sounds flattering, but there are some bingo players out there with a similar posture. They have short waists with long limbs and can often feel awkward and somewhat graceless.

The trick for this shape is to cover up part of those lengthy limbs so avoid short sleeves. This one from Marks and Spencers is ideal. ¾ sleeves make the arms appear short and this bold, bright pattern with side tie makes everything look more in proportion. And at £29.50, it's a bingo bargain!

Bingo Shape number 4:
The Pear

Women, who have a pear shape, love their bodies from the waist up. Problem is, they can't see past the bum, hips and thigh area. Those ballooning thighs are so much bigger than the rest of them and just seem completely out of proportion.

Like their fellow bingo players and fruit shape, the Apple, every Pear should have at least one wrap dress; they offer by far the most flattering disguise.

Why not opt for this very valentine-day red. A plunging V to show off your elegant neckline along with short sleeve to flaunt those slender arms. A nice red sash to emphasis that lovely waist and a full-bodied skirt to hide those saddlebags. This piece of perfection is by Amanda Wakeley and can be found Littlewoods Shop Direct.

Bingo Shape number 5:
The Oblong

The Oblong is probably the most unfeminine shape in our bingo body list. Unlike, the Hourglass, Oblong shapes don't have curves to boast about. They have broad shoulders with flat bums and no waists. All in all it's quite a masculine shape.

But despair not, because Littlewoods Bingo has found a perfect little number to inject some woman back into your shape.

Try this floaty, feminine black number from Wallis. The beaded neckline draws in the attention while the ribbon detailed helps creates a daintier waist. Finished off with a soft, silky hemline, you'll need to be bingo-quick to bag it as it's currently half price, just £30!
