What Is The Most Flattering Dress For A Plus Size Woman?
I was asked the other day what is the most flattering dress for a plus size woman. I did not have to think too long to come up with an answer as I had just finished creating a blog post over at Plus Size Clothing Ideas titled “What Is An Empire Waist Dress”. You can head on over to this post to read it in full or if you are lazy like me, the summary is below -
If you consider yourself as curvy or even plus size, then an empire waist skirt is your best friend when it comes to casual dressing. Put simply, an empire waist dress has the waist gathered near or just under the bust area. The fabric of the dress then flows from this high waist over any feature you want to minimize.
This dress is all about accentuating and directing focus. Often the best feature of a plus size woman is the bust area. By positioning the waist just below this area, you will immediately draw the eye here. By directing focus, the eye skips over the hips and stomach area quickly to be drawn where you want them to look.
Another benefit of the high waist is that these plus size dresses will use a long, loose skirt which skims the body. This will create the illusion of a longer body shape, making you appear more balanced. In short, you maximize your best feature, skim over features you want to hide and create the illusion of a longer body – 3 pluses with no negatives to this fashion style.
