What should plus size women wear?

This is a good question, and there is no real defiant answer, what to wear depends on many factors whether you have a fuller figure or a size zero it makes no difference. Every person’s body is a different shape, and that’s why it’s important to understand your body shape, and learn what works, and what you should avoid in the shops.

So many women are drawn to shopping in the sales, and whilst there are bargains to be had, you would be surprised how many women buy something that doesn’t fit their body shape correctly, or even worse, buy a size too big because it’s cheap in the sale. If you do this, then it must stop now. Learn what clothes flatter your body, which parts to show, and which parts to cover up. Just because you are curvy it doesn’t mean you have to hide your whole body. Make the most of what you have got. Another common mistake big breast women make is to wear a bra that is too small. Make sure you get rid of those old bras you have been hanging onto for years, and get yourself properly measured. A bra that is too small which push out the breast in places you don’t want it, and too large and you won’t be getting the support you need.    

Generally speaking, plus size women fall into two categories, if you have broad shoulders and or large breasts you are what is known as apple shaped. The best style of clothes that you can wear, is something that shows off your thinner lower half, like a flared skirt or trousers. This will draw the eye away from your breast area and help you achieve a balanced look. Wearing a dark coloured top and introducing colour to the waist area with perhaps a belt will also help this balanced effect. If you arms and shoulders are quite large, then defiantly go for something with longer sleeves. For evening wear, get something that more fitted around the waist area to show off your curves, and nothing too low cut. Avoid A line style as this will draw too much attention to the shoulders and breast area. The great thing about ordering dresses online is that many offer free returns. So order two, three or four and simply send back the ones you don’t want. 

The other main category is the person that has a large waist and or hips. If you are larger wasted then you want to do the opposite to the above. Enhance the breast area. Wear tops which are lighter in colour, and perhaps overhang the waist a little. Again accessories can really help you draw the eye to the breast area, how about a scarf or a piece of jewellery. Don’t go overboard on accessories, one or two is plenty. When it comes to plus size cocktail dresses, go for something that is long, and fairly low cut. An A-line cut gown could work very well.

There are some great options available no matter what you shape is, and there is not a better way than to try it on and have a good look in the mirror. If it’s the little black dress, 

Try and learn which parts of your body look best and which you prefer to cover up. Remember that what you find comfortable is not always the best choice when it comes to looking good in clothes.

Remember that a formal evening is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. Why not make the most of it, they don’t come around that often, head into town a get your make up done by a professional at one of the many make up stores. Many offer this service for free or have a small cover charge. Pop into the saloon and get your hair washed and blow dried by a stylist. So you are set, new dress, professional make up and a great looking hair do, go and “strut your stuff” at your ball and more importantly enjoy yourself.
