Plus Size Shopping

by Andrea Dilea

Even if you are a "plus size" woman, you can now enjoy that visit to the mall to find just the right outfit for a special event. In the past you may have had the unhappy experience of discovering that the prom gown or party dress you wanted wasn't stocked in your size. Finally, clothing manufacturers have gotten the message, and you have a new world of style options waiting for you. Nevertheless, you must still take your body type into account if you want to find a dress that makes you look truly terrific.

Plus size women often fit into one of three figure types: apple, hourglass or pear. Women who have apple shaped figures are largest around their middle and have similar bust and waist measurements. Hourglass shaped ladies have their weight evenly distributed on their body with the bust and hips having the most balanced measurements of the three. Finally, pear shaped women carry their weight mostly in their hips. When looking for a flattering dress it is important for women to know their shape to prevent the dress from being too tight in one area but too loose in another.

Remember you should choose a size that is a good fit to your body and its measurements, and not the number you think you are. Dressmakers have clothing that is so varied that the size number is almost irrelevant. Look into structured undergarments that are designed to smooth out the body line under the dress. These garments prevent lumps that distort the line and appearance of the dress.

Full-figured women have heard for ages wearing black is a must, in order to appear smaller. Black agrees with a portion of us very well, however there are those who yearn to dress in color, and if you are the sole individual in a group dressed in black, you will be more likely to stick out! Throw out your completely black outfits and dress in colors if you desire. It is pointless to attend special occasions resembling a governess. Just don't forget to maintain equilibrium among color choices and analyze them as you build your outfit.

It's a good idea to try on any outfits you are considering before buying them. Make a point to bring the shoes and undergarments you will be wearing with each outfit so you can correctly gauge fit and hemlines. Wearing the wrong bra can completely change your look from a "do" to a "don't."

Last but not least, don't rule out a trip to the seamstress. If you find an otherwise flattering outfit that's just a little long, or needs to be taken in a little, your local alterations shop can often make it fit the bill. Fashions are designed for a body that doesn't exist. Remember to take the initiative to make them fit yours.
