How To Dress Your Body Type When You’re Plus Size
I get tons of questions about how to dress plus size. Which most women really mean to ask is how to dress for your plus size body type. Dressing for your shape takes patience and a lot of trying on clothes. Most people think they are limited when it comes to dressing their body type but that’s simply just not true.
For me, identifying and understanding your shape is about knowing what works for the largest and smallest parts of your body. Think of shape identification as a guideline to your best looks. The most common shapes in women are apple, pear, hourglass, and a rectangle.
Most apple shaped women have large chests but there are some apple shaped women with small breasts and high waists which can blend in with the pear shape.How To Dress For Your Body Type Plus Size Style
To help make shopping a little more fun and less strenuous I've created a mini shop your shape post. I've listed characteristics of each of the most common shapes, your style goal, and what to buy. Since I'm a visual learner I added some remarkable celebs with the common body shapes.
Here are some specific styles to consider when buying your plus size dress. These styles are great for many plus size women, but be sure to try different styles to see how they work on your particular body. All of these dresses help create that fantastic hourglass silhouette.
A line dress is a classic shape that bends at the waist and tapers smoothly. This type of dress is flattering for most body types.
The Pintuck dress is one of the latest trends that is very beautiful. It's actually a modified A-line style that features a flowy skirt for a flirty look.
The wrap dress (or faux wrap) is a shape that is very compatible with the body of a larger woman because it is adjustable to any body and embraces curves very well. Just make sure there is enough material in the dress to cover your body.
The long dress is a style that can be attractive to a plus size girl if you are careful to choose the right style. For maxi dresses, be sure to keep a defined waist and don't let it look "mu-mu". Also, you may want to consider a side split to break through most of a maxi dress. An open neckline at the top also helps offset the long length of the dress.
The shark bite hem dress is a very charming style featuring asymmetrical hemline. This dress line is very flattering for an older girl because it creates a diagonal, which makes the woman look smaller.
Scam dresses are known as bar dresses and are very tight. At night, they can be very attractive and tend to fit a woman very well. However, these dresses are very revealing and tend to appeal to women in their twenties.
