Do you need to go shopping for a new plus-size dress but are feeling frustrated? It's time to empower yourself and spend a little time determining what it is you love about you and only buy a dress that flatters your shape. It can be so easy to simply grab the closest dress, but that just continues to feed your negative relationship with clothes. Women come in every size and shape. You simply have to find the design that makes you shiver when you slip it on. No matter what is trending in all the glossy fashion magazines, there is a cut and color that will always work for you now and for years in the future. Read on and learn how to feed your inner goddess by choosing a dress designed just for your body.
Don't hide under tons of fabric when dressing for an elegant evening out. Long side slits show off your long legs and shoulder and bust cutouts can offer some flirty skin. Go for a nude-colored sheath covered in patterned lace. Sequins and beads will dazzle your partner. By pulling your hair up, the slim line of your neck is highlighted.
If you love prints, bold colors and big patterns, then wear them! Just be aware of how vertical and horizontal lines and geometric shapes move over your curves. If you want to downplay your hips, avoid a pattern that swerves with your body and go for a solid instead.
No matter what size you wear, always accent your curves. Do you have an hourglass, pear, apple, or carrot shape? You will look fabulous when you highlight your best assets. Study the shape of the gown. If the cut reflects the curves of your body it will literally hug you. So, always shop for you and don't just grab the first thing available.
Yes, yes, yes. You can find A-line, pin-tuck, wrap, handkerchief, princess, maxi-dresses and more, all in flattering plus sizes. If you see a style you love in a store, but it isn't in your size, use the internet and find the perfect size in the perfect style just for you. Never settle!
Of course! Find a dress in a silky knit fabric. Go shorter if you have killer legs. Opt for the plunging neckline and a snug waist with a glitter buckle for your hourglass body. The pin-tuck flatters your bosom and skims over your generous hips while flirting with your calves. When you feel sexy when you try it on, you have found your little black dress.
Just like casual wear, you need to find a gown that is comfortable and flattering. Talk to your local wedding gown designer about shapewear and boning. If you dream of a hand-beaded confection that hugs your every curve, it is totally possible. Tailoring is absolutely your best bet for finding the dress worthy of your ceremony.
When you look in the mirror and love the shape of your ankles, knees, and even thighs, then show them off! The maxi-dress will swirl around your ankles while dancing. The a-line provides extra movement to your square build while leaving your calves and killer shoes visible to party. A tight sheath will hug all your beautiful curves, including your bottom. How fun is that?
It's all about balance. If you are wearing a sequined gown, opt for smaller earrings with bright gems. A plunging neckline demands a slim necklace with a pendant that doesn't overtake the bare skin. Add a belt to your sweater-dress to accent your waistline. A solid high-necked gown can come to life with a large beaded necklace that also creates some shaping over a smaller bust.
