Sublimation Contrast Maxi Dress

 You know why maxi dresses are loved by many? Because there is a hundred reason why we should love it! Maxi dresses hide the bulging belly rolls from that hearty meal we just had (like the crowd favorite pizza!) and it also gives the illusion that the wearer is taller due to the vertical line of the skirt from the waistband down towards the level of your feet. Not to mention, maxi dresses are just effortlessly chic!

 Ivory Stone with Silver Pendant Necklace

 If we were able to add the illusion of taller height with the maxi dress, we can do the same with this Ivory stone with a silver pendant necklace. Necklaces with long straps give the illusion of a longer torso, in a way, this helps girls with a shorter torso like me. That is why I always consider necklaces like these as outfit-savers since it is both decorative and functional!

In this article, we will bust fashion rules that is fundamentally stopping us to shine brighter:

Rule # 1: Don’t Wear Fitted Clothing.

This is terribly wrong. Fitted clothing will make you appear smaller as loose clothing will make you appear bigger. Don’t be afraid to wear fitted clothing as long as it’s the right fit for you. You may be under the inverted triangle body type and you want to wear fitted clothing. It’s okay to do this as long as you create some illusion to the waist area to create balance.

Dresses with good tailoring details also help. Look for seaming that creates structure on the waist area.

Looking for plus size boutiques near me or you? Find great selection online or in-stores!

Rule #2: Don’t Wear Maxi Dresses.

In fact, you can wear maxi dresses if this really is your style. We suggest V-Neck or Halter top styles of maxi dresses because it looks very flattering to plus size ladies like you. An empire waist maxi dress is also great to create that classic A-line!

The length of the dress helps in elongating your body making you appear taller and leaner.

Rule #3: Curvy Girls Can’t Wear Pencil Skirts

There is a misunderstanding when it comes to wearing pencil skirts for curvy ladies. As we have emphasized, style really doesn’t need to limit you. What is important is the fit.

If think you can take the challenge of wearing pencil skirt with the right fit then by all means go ahead as this will look stunning on you. Black, pinstripe, or colored pencil skirts are great to achieve a more feminine look.

Rule #4: Wear Black.

You know it, black has a slimming effect but don’t you feel it is depressing to wear black all the time? Don’t get trapped onto this idea. It won’t harm you if you experiment on the shades and hues that is utterly lovely on you.

There you have it curvy ladies, the four fashion rules we have to break as a plus size fashion rebel. Shopping for clothes at big plus size stores will be epic, just don’t forget about these. You go girl.

How to Determine Your Body Shape

For all the curvy ladies out there who are looking for plus size brands that fit your shape very well, it is important to take note and pay attention to the pound you gain. This will likely give you the idea as to what body shape you have.

So here are the specific measures in getting your body shape:

1. Step a few feet away from a full-length mirror and observe your overall body shape.

Do this naked as underwear can also disguise what's really there.

2. Now, focus on the shape of your torso. And visualize a dress form - shoulders to hips.

It's the contours of your torso; from the thinnest part of your waist to your rib cage and hip line that will determine your overall body shape.

After analyzing your torso shape let's look at which category your body falls into: 


The Body Shapes

Pear: Torso and upper body smaller than your hips with waist definition

Inverted triangle: Torso and upper body wider than your hips - with little waist definition

Rectangle: Torso and upper body are the same width as your hips - little waist definition

Hourglass: Torso and hips are approximately the same width - with waist definition

Apple: Torso and upper body wider than your hips - with little or no waist definition. You might have weight surrounding your waist.

This article will guide you on the best way to find and incorporate empire-waist design to your everyday quality plus size fashion wear.

What is an empire waist?

This is a style of dressing where top cinches at the narrow point under the bust area. The style emphasizes one of the narrowest points on a woman’s body unlike the A-line style which emphasizes the waist area.

Because of that, empire waist can be a great style for shorter plus size women as raised waistline can create the appearance of added height. Also, this style goes well with curvy women who have wider lower body as it draws the eye to the narrow point under the bust area, which can make the bust area appear curvier.

Avoid gathered material or billowy fabrics

Skip the empire waist dress with billowy fabrics. Why? Because it backfires. Instead, look for a more buddy-hugging quality plus size  material and design.

Though you do not need to wear garments that are completely fitted, better find clothes with materials that will skim your figure than float away (e.g. jersey or cotton).

Try an A-line or sheath dress

The best cuts to look for in an empire-waist dress are A-line or sheath. These cuts will highlight your narrowest point and curves rather than completely hide them altogether.

Also, if you are fond of maxi dresses with empire-waist design are also great, but be sure to find one that skims your lower body too. Dress of this style are the best clothing for plus size women!

Avoid voluminous bottoms

One major rule in dressing up with empire-waist style is to avoid bottoms that are voluminous. Wide-leg trousers or A-line skirts are a big no-no to empire-waist style. This will only separate the two styles and won;t perfect match each other. Go for skinny or straight leg pants, or better yet leggings or jeggings to pair comfortably with a plus size clothing like this, for a more balanced proportions.

Choose deep necklines

Deep scoop, sweetheart and v-necks are some of the neckline you may want to choose from when styling with a empire waist dress or top. You may heard it before, but these necklines add more length to your natural neckline, which is a good thing. Thumbs up. Making your body apper a bit longer and slimmer can be achieved through these necklines.

Knowing all these, choosing the right clothes for plus size women won’t be that hard. Identifying which to accentuate and downplay is the key thing to do. Next, find the right CCF. Know how here:

1. Cut

There are three common dress styles in the market today: A-Line, Empire Waist, and Straight-cut. All of these styles are timeless, having said that these are the styles that don’t really go out of fad.

•         A-line: Symbolically, the letter ‘a’ in A-line illustrates this design. Also called fit and flare, A-line usually has a fitter top, then flows away from the body from the waist to the bottom. Every body type commonly looks good in an A-line design. This is because it emphasizes a woman’s natural waistline and curves.

However, for plus size female clothing, structure and fabric are very important for that natural effect. We suggest you to pick a dress with thicker fabrics if you want to follow this design. Clingy and thin fabrics will be a huge fail, believe us. The more structured the waistline is, the better.

•         Empire waist: Unlike A-lines, empire waists cinch right below the breasts. In fact this style is terrific for curvy ladies with pear or triangle body types. If you have a small upper body than your hips and legs, you will think about adding more volume to your bust and arms – where empire-waist is a good choice. This will draw the eye upward and provide balance to you upper and lower body.
•         Straight: A straight-cut dress has no natural waistline. Thus, not entirely fit for women with hourglass body type. This style however, is perfect for  women who have broader shoulders and chests and smaller hips.

Color

Keep in mind that light colours emphasize while dark colours downplay. Which by the way, why black is universally flattering.

If you are into light-coloured plus-size dresses and female clothing it is perfectly fine but be sure to find one that has a structured silhouette that is firm and rigid. Stay away or better yet avoid horizontal stripes and large bold patters. These can only add more volume in all the wrong places.
