Sexy Layering Camisole Tanks |
A sexy camisole or tank can be worn under your clothes or
right out in the open for a more daring look. Silk, cotton
or polyester, printed, mesh or solid fabric; there are
more sexy camisoles out there than you can shake a spiked
heel at. Camisoles are great under fitted jackets and
cardigans and make them more work appropriate. So, what's
your choice? Start by deciding between a camisole and a
tank. Tanks tend to be more casual, but you can find them
with thin straps and lace trimmings on a ribbed cotton
top. Camisoles tend more towards the frankly feminine, and
their signature spaghetti straps will relegate you to tiny
bra straps too. If you are going to wear a plus size
camisole on its own, look for one with a little thicker
strap to avoid you bra showing. For a fun look, coordinate
your bra color with your top so that your green camisole
slips to show a bright blue bra strap, or your black tank
straps give way to hot pink.

Women's Plus Size Scoop Neck |
Scoop neck shirts can look nice on all kinds of plus size
figures, but you will want to choose the right neckline for
the occasion. If you want to vamp it up, a deep scoop and
cap sleeves can work well on a Friday night at the clubs,
but don't think about wearing it to work! A smaller scoop
shows a hint of cleavage without committing you to anything,
which is fun for weekends and first dates. It's especially
important with scoop neck shirts to wear the right bra: your
bust should be controlled, not constrained. And you
definitely shouldn't go braless under any conditions: a
scoop neck worn without the right underwear can turn even a
nice bust into a saggy disaster.

Plus Size Button Down Top |
A button down shirt with just the right seaming can help create an attractive curvy waist line. Avoid "oversized" shirts with no seaming since this can look too much like a man's button down shirt. Look for fun feminine details like embellishments, lace, bold colors and fun patterns. Also be sure that a plus size button down shirt fits the widest part of you to avoid button pulling and gapping. The rest of the shirt can always been taken in by a tailor to fit exactly.

Sexy Plus Size Baby Doll Tops |
Baby doll tops are characterized by an Empire (high) waist,
and a blousy bodice that flares out slightly in a light,
airy fabric. Baby doll styles are great for plus size
figures, since they can hide parts of your stomach you may
feel uncomfortable about. The empire waist also put emphasis
on the smallest part of your waist, creating a hour-glass
shape. The recent focus on '70's fashions has brought the
baby doll shirt again into fashion-forward status. Look for
retro classics in paisley gauze, or modern updates in tiny
flower prints. Baby doll tops are not for the workplace
unless they are covered with a tailored jacket; people won't
take you seriously. But wear them on weekends, date nights
and play dates like miniature golf or a day at the movies.
They're perfect paired with plus size jeans or a plain denim
skirt.

Fashionable Plus Size Halter |
A plus size halter top can be very good or very, very bad,
and a lot depends on its construction as well as the type of
body it adorns. If your bust isn't very large, a properly
fitting halter top can make the most of what you have by
creating cleavage where it normally doesn't exist. Medium
bustlines can also benefit from a halter top, especially one
with shaping that lifts, creating a longer waistline as well
as a fuller bust. Halter tops can also deemphasize wide
shoulders. But if you are blessed with a big bust, halter
tops can be more dangerous than fashionable. Halter top
straps wrap around the neck: women with larger busts should
consider tops with more width to the wrap, making the overall
look fuller. Skinny straps can look out of balance with a
large, full bust. Sexy halter tops also fit more snugly
around the midriff: for something more playful try an Empire
style halter top in a gauzy printed cotton with a looser fit.

Simple V-Neck Shirts |
If you don't like the way you look in scoop necked shirts,
chances are you'll be happier in v neck shirts instead. The
classic modest v neck gives depth without actual cleavage, or
you can get a wider v and show your stuff. V-necks tend to
lengthen your neckline and bring attention to your face. V
necks revitalized the flagging women's t-shirt industry years
ago and are now a wardrobe must have. They look great with
practically everything; little cotton t-shirts with jeans and
casual skirts, or silk v-neck shirts with dress pants and
evening wear all strike the right note. Most plus size women
look great in v necks: getting the depth of the v right means
everything. A shallow v can work in the workplace, but never
a deep v.

Dressy Special Occassion Tops |
A special occasion top is just the thing for the wedding,
anniversary, baptism, graduation or other special event when
you need a top to pair with ultra-dressy pants or skirts.
Special occasion tops tend to come in luxury fabrics: satins
or silks for warm weather or velvets and cashmere for winter
are the norm. You'll find them in long sleeves and
sleeveless; ¾ sleeves are popular too. The most important
thing for a plus size special occasion top is that you match
the formality of the occasion and pick a style that flatter
your body type. A slightly dressier top can take an unadorned
skirt from plain to gorgeous by the planful addition of
embroidery or beadwork. Even a white silk drape across the
neck of a plain dressy top can uplift the entire outfit.
Avoid so-called special occasion tops in synthetics: go for
the real thing in silk velvet or satins, dupioni silk, matte
wool jersey or sheer cotton lawn.
