Do's of Plus Size Women's Dresses
DO toss that outdated sequined cocktail evening dress out
this season and hit this season’s events in a trendy full figure
dress. While vintage is certainly in style, if you haven’t
bought a new party dress in more than a year, it’s time for
change! We recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
DO go for a women’s romantic style dress for the Spring
season, playing up on your beauty and femininity. Large floral
print dresses in pastel colors are the easiest way to achieve
the romantic look. Look for flowing cuts made of light materials
for the most slenderizing effects. We
recommend
Roaman's for this item.
DO dare to wear sleeveless dresses this year! If you’re
going to an outdoor event in the sun, there’s no reason to hide
under a heavy jacket. Instead, work on toning your arms at home
with light weights to get them ready for the bare season. If you
don’t have time for toning, think about using self-tanner.
Tanned skin naturally looks slim and sleek! We recommend
Avenue.com for this item.
DO find an adorable womens wrap to go
with strapless dresses. If you’re attending an evening event,
but still want to go strapless a wrap will save you from a
chilly night. A sheath wrap can take any summer dress
comfortably into evening hours, while still maintaining perfect
style. We recommend
One Stop Plus for this item.
DO beware of this year’s trendy cotton shirt dress
frenzy. Many of today’s casual shirt dresses are made to hang,
which is not flattering on anyone. If you can’t resist, search
for a shirt dress with slight tapering in the waist area. Some
linen shirt dresses even come with adorable belts that can be
perfect for those women with smaller waists. Remember, clothing
should skim the body instead of swallowing it or clinging to it. We recommend
Woman Within for this item.
Style Don'ts of Full Figure Dresses
DON'T feel the need to always reach for your favorite
little black dress. Whether it’s long or short, the truth is at
the end of the day it’s still a bit boring. Instead, experiment
with color this year! Red, white and gray are the hottest colors
of the season with polka dot being the hottest print. We
recommend
Coldwater Creek for this item.
DON'T forget to consider your most flattering length of
dress when searching for a summer dress. Many women toss all
fashion sense out of the window when hot weather comes around.
However, while a mini skirt may beat the heat it may not be the
most flattering on every body type. If you’re an hour-glass
shaped women, an a-line dress is the best option for you. A knee
length hippy dress can be perfect for any body type for an
informal event, while a long full length gown usually works for
any body type during a formal gathering.
DON'T forget to play up your best body areas by choosing
a dress that plays up your best parts! Pick a cute halter dress
to draw attention to a full bust. To accentuate your eyes,
choose a complementary color of dress. For example, if your eyes
are blue think about wearing a turquoise, royal or cobalt dress.
Another fashion designer tip is if you want to hide an un-toned
tummy, go for an empire waist or high waist dress that flows to
the ground!
