Plus Size Special Occasion Fashion Tips

My first suggestion is to go with a style that flatters your body style. If you are heavier on the bottom, go for a dress that has a fitted bodice and a higher, or even empire waist. If you carry most of your weight around the middle, choose something that shows off your great legs. If you have the coveted hourglass shape, find a dress that flaunts your beautiful curves. To downplay certain features look to dark colors and balance in your clothing. For example, if you happen to be well-endowed, a dress with a full skirt helps draw the eyes downward to give you a symmetrical look.

I know it is tempting to stick with black, and most of the time it is hard to go wrong with black, but at least consider a beautiful color. Bright vivid colors or subtle pastel shades are certainly a way to express yourself. If you don't know your best colors, or if you are "cool" or "warm", here is a primer on which colors would look best on you.

What part of your body do you want to show off?

Neckline: Off the shoulder dress, V-neckline or strapless dress or pantset

Arms: Short, sleeveless, halter style or strapless dress or pantset

Legs: Cocktail dress with heels

Curves: Fitted dress

Waist: Princess line or empire line dresses

What to Wear?

Informal Setting:

No need for satin and lace, go with the comfort of a cotton skirt.

Work:

Clothing options for a celebration at work depend a lot on your normal attire in that setting. Keep it professional, well-tailored, and low-glitz.

Clubs:

This is where you can be as flashy and playful as you want. Take a look at pictures from the club where you're going to get some ideas (then dare to be different!)

Evening dresses:

Go with a longer dress that moves with you with a few sparkling highlights.

Prom:

Bright and cheerful but not too clingy, and avoid ruffles.

Wedding:

Careful girl, no showing up the bride. Pick a comfortable dress (its going to be a long day).
