Did Pippa's dress inspire Party Pieces Christmas outfits? Skimpy costumes sold on family's website feature same plunging neckline
A shimmering red dress worn by Pippa Middleton seems to have inspired a range of festive outfits sold on her family's website.
The risqué number, which the Duchess of Cambridge's sister wore to a charity boxing ball, featured a neckline plunging below her bust.
And a selection of sexy Miss Santa dresses on the Middletons' Party Pieces website seem to replicate the style.

The fancy dress costumes sold by the multi-million-pound company, run by Kate and Pippa's parents Carole and Michael, are priced from £19.99, revealed the Sunday Times.
Standout styles include a Miss Santa Halterneck Costume, £33.99, Cheeky Elf Outfit, £19.99, and Hooded Miss Santa Costume, £24.99. They all feature scarlet red fabric and extremely low-cut necklines.
The Mrs Santa Costume maxi dress comes in at £31.99 and, while it still comes with a striking plunging neckline, it features some extra fabric in the form of a maxi skirt.
There is also an ethereal white Angel Outfit with thigh-high splits for £45.99 and a fun Cheeky Christmas Pudding Costume with puffball skirt for £23.99.
In her Spectator Christmas column last year, Pippa revealed her family's penchant for fancy dress at Christmas time.
'My father has developed this funny tradition of surprising us at some point by appearing in fancy dress,' she wrote.

'He buys a new costume every year and typically gets a bit carried away - a couple of Christmases ago, he appeared in an inflatable sumo outfit.'
This year, Michael Middleton will have plenty of options to choose from on his own website, which includes seven varieties of men's Father Christmas costumes.
The revealing ladies' Party Pieces costumes are not likely to be worn at the royal family's festive get-together at Sandringham.
This Christmas, Prince William and Kate are expected to attend the Queen's private estate in Norfolk with the rest of the royal family.
Last year pregnant Kate was struck down with morning sickness and missed out on the royals' Christmas gathering, opting to stay with the Middletons.
