Show Off Curves With Fashionable Plus Size Dresses

By Carl Harris


When it comes to having a versatile wardrobe, something that is practical that can be worn at almost any occasion is the way to go. Ideal pieces may be a nice button down shirt that is easy to care for, or a pair of pants that are slimming. However, fashionable plus size dresses are often an underrated must for any closet.

Sometimes women who wear larger sizes may feel that a dress is impractical. This may have once been the case but these days, there is something for just about every body type. Clothing designers now realize that one size does not necessarily fit all. Body shapes are just as different as people.

Additionally, dresses are cut to enhance, or downplay, certain physical features. For instance, a person who is top heavy may benefit from dress details that make the bust line seem smaller. Another popular feature are dresses that give contouring to an ample waistline without use of uncomfortable undergarments.

Like all plus size clothes, designers recognize that not everyone is the same height either. More women are finding that they can live productive lives being a full figured or curvy individual, so there is a larger selection than in previous years. Taller and petite plus sizes are becoming more common, making a trip to the tailor less frequent.

Dresses are also made from materials that look good and are easy to care for. Microfiber materials can have a silky look and feel but provide enough support to slim waistlines. Other synthetic blends, especially those made with spandex can give one confidence when they find themselves between dress sizes.

Because there are so many body shapes for a designer to cater to, some dress styles almost never go out of style. In recent years, the A line dress has been more popular than ever. This style, with its small waistline and flared bottom, is ideal for those who are pear shaped or bottom heavy.

Besides the cut of the dress, designers are becoming more aware which colors and textile patterns complement fuller sizes. Ages ago, either black, dark blue or earth tones were the safest choices for a woman of size because they did not want to stand out. However, the growing size empowerment movement has given women all over the confidence to wear bright, bold colors that can be accessorized.

Even those who like to still play it safe can add excitement with bold jewelry or accessories, like a bright colored scarf. Large, chunky earrings are another way to give life to a simple dress. The possibilities are endless for those who are adventurous in their wardrobe.

Fashionable dresses of today are very easy to care for. Maxi styles are normally made from a lightweight fabric that can be washed and worn in little time. Sometimes, it is just nice to have a change from a skirt and blouse.
