Dressing Tips for Plus-Sized Women

A mistake that many plus-sized women make is that they tend to buy baggy clothes to try and hide their physique. They hide behind an all black getup and tight fitting leggings to disguise their shape. Unfortunately, while they may think they are disguising their shape, they are in reality only adding to the bulk. Baggy clothes look sloppy and shapeless even on slimmer physiques; these types of items are unflattering, bland and boring.

Fabulous dressing is all about finding pieces that match your personality and your body type. No matter you shape, if you wear something that flatters your figure, you will look stylish and fashionable, despite your weight.

Just because you may shop for your clothes in a different section, doesn't mean you don't have to look absolutely fabulous.

Women with fuller figures should look for items that accentuate their good parts, while hiding the bad. A tailored dress that is slightly nipped at the waist and dressed up with a high waist belt can help you create the illusion of a slimmer waist. Don't pull the belt too tight and make sure you position the belt about one inch below the bust line for a fabulous hour glass figure.

Empire-waisted dresses and tops are really flattering, especially for fuller figures. They are tight fitting on the upper portion of your body and bust, and they flair out from below the bust line. These pieces are a must-have in your wardrobe.

Wrap dresses can also help you to achieve the perfect hourglass shape. A sexy black dress that ends just below the knees can look sexy and fabulous when tied in a wrap style.

So next time you're out shopping, avoid the drab and dreary clothes and look for items that accentuate your fabulous hourglass physique.
