FABULOUS PLUS SIZES- CLOTHES AND MORE FOR THE BIG BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN
Choosing the Perfect Plus Size Formal Dress
Let's face it-at least once in your life you have to wear a formal dress, either
at someoneelse's party or your own. But choosing the right one isn't as easy as it may sound. Buying everyday
clothes is like a walk in the mall, so to speak, but formal dresses are an entirely different
department, and is especially difficult for the plus size woman. So for all women who lack the experience,
we've come up with some important things to keep in mind-once it's set on getting thatplus sizeformal dress.
Where exactly are you going to?
Is it a ball or wedding, cocktail party or awards night? The event is important,
as the activities involved may vary. In some you will be expected to dance, in others to give a speech, and still
in others you may simply just remain seated. Your formal dress should adapt to the requirements of the formal
occasion. If your dress is too long it may cause you to trip during a tango, or if it's too short you may have to
keep pulling it down while giving your opening remarks. Now imagine how embarrassing both would be.
What exact style are you looking for?
A good way to find out the latest styles in formal wear is to search the internet.
Check out the work of major designers and get ideas from them. It may not seem to make a difference, but the hem
lengths and colors matter in the overall effect. The shape of the skirt and necklines can also spell the difference
between a swell time and time wasted at a formal event.
Some formal dress styles can come in the A-line (slimming and a flared skirt),
ball gown (natural line of waist and full skirt), the sheath (no defined waistline, good for petite sizes), and
mermaid (body hugging then suddenly flares off at the knees). The neckline types can come in halter styles,
spaghetti straps or jewel.
When it comes to color, one must remember to be very careful. You may have a
particular favorite, but that doesn't mean it will look good on you. The right color for your formal dress should
always match your skin tone, body shape and hair shades. It should complement your features and blend with your
figure. Some colors provide the illusion of volume on smaller women (lighter colors) and other colors present a
minimizing effect on larger women (darker shades). The same principle applies if you want to focus on amplifying a
certain body part.
Other stuff you should think about…
1. Consider the budget. It would save you a lot of time if you set a price range
before you begin your search for that perfect formal dress.
2. Start early. You may end up getting the dress online, and that would mean
reckoning with delivery schedules, and possible alterations if and when the piece doesn't fit-which is equally
possible even when you don't order the dress on the internet.
3. Prepare the accessories. The shoes, jewelry, and handbag should also go well
with that formal dress.
And one final piece of advice-no two women are the same, so what may look good
onthe girl next door may not look good on you. And even when you're
full-figured, plus size does not mean one size.
