What to Look For in Plus Size Party Dresses

Plus Size Party Dresses
It is often very hard to find plus size fashions that are truly flattering for all types of body shapes and sizes. It is also an unfortunate truth that fashion often is designed for smaller persons, without really taking others into account. However, there are certain ways that you can make sure that you know what to look for in a plus size party dress. Before you go out and look for the right party dress for your figure, take a look at some of these guidelines, so you can have an idea of what you should look for.
Where to Go to Get Started
While you may be able to find some plus size party dresses at regular clothing stores or at your local mall, if you go to a retailer that specializes in plus size fashions, you will probably have a much larger selection to pick from. This will definitely work in your favor, as it is usually the case that it is hard enough to find the perfect dress, even without having only a few to pick from. A larger selection will always work to your benefit, especially if you have a pretty specific idea of what you are looking for. If the fit is a little off but you love the dress, you may also want to have it tailored by someone who has worked on plus size fashions before.
Narrowing Down the Style that You Want
You may have some ideas on what style you are going for, but you should have an open mind and be receptive towards what style will look best on your figure, too. While some plus size women favor shorter dresses, you will have more of a slimming effect if you go for at least a knee-length dress. You will not only appear slimmer, but also taller, which works to give you a more appealing figure overall.
You may want something with a narrowed waist, and even empire waist dresses are often very flattering for plus size women. What you want to avoid is the temptation to cover yourself up with excess fabric that billows out from your body. This is not a good look and will only add more weight to your appearance! You may feel as if you are covering up, but you should definitely not fall for that trap.
Finally, the All-Important Color Choice
Just as with petite women, you should stay away from large, elaborate patterns, flashy colors, or sequins. Instead, you will find that the best choice is a solid color, and you can usually go with bolder, deeper colors as well. Brighter colors tend to make you appear larger, so they should generally be avoided.

  1. Party dresses are my absolute favourite to wear for multiple occasions.I love wearing heels because they look elegant and lift your entire look almost instantly. Don't put in too many colors in your outfit as it would end up looking too bulky.

  4. We live in a fashionverse where there is a constant battle for what you want vs what you need. I saw this lovely solid dress at an event and I couldn't get my mind off it, the next thing you know, am searching for solid dresses online, Found one :) not like the one I saw but even better.

    The package arrived a few days later and I ripped it open. I try it on and it's perfect !!! I can't wait to go out with my girls to flaunt this one. 24 hours later, the dress is with the cleaners and the question I ask myself, Did I need this, or I just wanted it so bad?
