Overweight women, trying to hide figure flaws, often wear baggy dresses and robes. If you look at the models that designers offer for curvy ladies, it becomes clear. The first step to choosing things wisely is to avoid large, shapeless styles.
What types of dresses are suitable for a full figure?
Models with a length just below the knees and ½ sleeves look very feminine on overweight women. These options are suitable for everyday, summer and office outfits. Long dresses are more suitable for evening events. The range of styles is very diverse - these include flared, multi-layered and straight models.
ATTENTION! The disadvantages of some models, which sometimes make the shapes immense, can be hidden or turned into advantages.
Open shoulders or an asymmetrical neckline will distract attention from problem areas. Such options are more suitable for floor-length evening dresses, or light, airy summer dresses.
Suitable for plus size models are plain ones with a curly edge and a closed top, where there are no decorative elements.
How to choose the optimal length
Girls with curvy figures will be interested in models whose length reaches the knee or slightly higher:
- dress shirt;
- robe dress;
- with drawstring;
- sheath dress;
- trapezoid;
- flared options.
IMPORTANT! A straight dress looks organic if it is knee-length or slightly higher.
The midi model is current. But floor length is inappropriate for short girls. If you still decide to take this step, complement the look with high heels.
Suitable colors for dresses
When choosing an outfit, pay attention to the prints. A large drawing makes the figure more voluminous and attracts the eye. The best option would be a small pattern: checkered patterns, polka dots, flowers, thin vertical stripes. In addition to such models, it is worth using plain items and accessories.
For an evening outfit, the ideal color is black. It flatters the figure and is suitable for various styles. You can dilute the color with embroidery or bright accessories. A bright fuchsia or scarlet dress looks very impressive and unexpected.
A chic solution is translucent inserts made from lightweight materials such as chiffon, choose delicate, pastel colors. Outfits in these colors also look irresistible.
What materials will highlight the advantages of a full figure?
When choosing a product, you need to pay attention to the material from which the product is made, the quality of tailoring, how comfortable you are and whether it is possible to complement it with accessories.
- If freedom of movement is important to you, choose knitwear; it is suitable for both casual wear and office wear, depending on its density and color.
- Dense materials create a unique style for plus-size women.Such fabrics include tweed, wool, denim. This season, velor and suede have come into fashion; a thick but flowing outfit looks rich and advantageous.
- There are woolen models in large sizes, but in order not to look enormous, it is better to choose products made of fine wool with a vertical pattern.
- Chiffon and any other lightweight material, plain or with a small print, are well suited for floor-length dresses.
ATTENTION! The denser the fabric, the calmer the colors and simpler the style.
Unusual short models for plus size people
Models up to the knee or slightly below are the most practical. They fit both into the feast and into the world.
- An unusual, but effective, light and cheerful look will help you create a “flutter” sleeve. This sleeve cut, like a ½-length sleeve, will brighten up full arms. If the dress is made of chiffon, it will add airiness to the image and thereby hide the volume.
- Dresses with patterns look very advantageous. Of course, it is important to look at your figure, and if it allows, then a dress with a thin strap, or just a fitted one with a print, will become your highlight.
- Another unusual model is a wrap dress. The silhouette becomes slimmer due to oblique lines and looks very elegant. It can be complemented with ruffles and draperies.
- Models with a beveled shaped edge help visually correct the shape of the legs. The minimum length of such a dress should be just above the knee.
IMPORTANT! Summer models should be bright, have colorful patterns, harnesses, straps or flounces. All this adds lightness and playfulness to short outfits.
Unusual long models for plus size people
For evening outings, models with a maxi hem length are suitable. Decorate the outfit with a neckline or deep neckline. Double straps look unusual.
The decoration that emphasizes the waist is an imitation wrap that goes into the side seam of a straight dress.
If the dress is combined from several colors, then the color accent will distract attention from problem areas. When the model contains black, variations with any other colors are possible. Properly combined dresses look good in any length.
If you want to emphasize the waist in a long outfit, pay attention to models with a belt.
How to choose an unusual dress for celebrating the New Year 2018–2019
The New Year is approaching, and it’s time to think about an outfit for a corporate party, and even the celebration of the holiday itself. What new items this season will help curvy girls be at the peak of attention?
- Of course, floor-length dresses are the best option for a celebration, but don’t forget about your height and look for shoes with suitable heels.
- A win-win option is a flowing skirt. A double hem with transparent flowing fabric over dense fabric would be trendy.
- An above-the-knee dress is also great. The main thing to remember is that if the bottom is short, then the top is closed.
- The balloon dress remains in trend. The hem, slightly gathered at the bottom, allows you to hide your tummy and sides. It is better to choose a light fabric for the model.
- A model with dark-colored inserts on the sides will sit beautifully and nobly on you; it will visually elongate your figure.
- In the area of the shoulders and along the edge of the hem, lace can be located to match the main fabric or, conversely, contrasting.
IMPORTANT! Accessories, lace, ruffles should be in those places that you are proud of. Without hesitation, you can place emphasis on the chest, shoulders, arms, diverting attention from problem areas.
For the New Year, you can wear a model with sequins. They should match not only the color of the dress, but also your skin tone and eye color.
Cold lemon color is very fashionable and relevant this New Year. It suits almost everyone.
Dark blue alone or in combination with white lace will look elegant. Noble satin for this combination is the best solution.
All attention will be focused on you if the choice falls on a scarlet dress. But here it is important to remember about evening makeup, the main thing in this image is you, and the dress is only a cut.
And, of course, the classics:
- beige;
- light gray;
- powdery;
- black and white (better in combination).
These colors will look elegant in lace, silk, and satin.
And once again we will place accents - a deep neckline, a piquant slit in the skirt, open shoulders. Drawing attention to the most beautiful parts of the body.
