When looking for a plus size cocktail dress do not think about what you want to cover up. Instead accent what you like about yourself. You will be able to find a dress that is perfect for your body.
Plus size women seem to think that wearing something that is baggy will hide any heavy areas. The problem is that this type of clothing will hide all parts of your body. There are tips to follow when purchasing a dress which will flatter the parts of your body you like, while still camouflaging other areas.
If your shoulders are an area that you would like to show off, you can get a dress that drapes down off one or both shoulders. When you are happy with this look, it will be transferred to others who look at you. Your shoulders will be what other people notice.
Black dresses are not the only slimming color any more. Fashion has changed, and now you can find a great dress in a deep wine color or a dark teal. If black is the color you like, try a new style. A layered bottom or one that flows or overlaps is perfect for creating a slimmer look.
Avoid any outfit with horizontal lines, anyone will look heavier with these. If you do want to wear stripes go with vertical ones. These draw the eyes down for a slimmer look. Any large prints are also something to stay away from. If you find dresses with a print only in the area that you choose to accentuate that would be perfect, but too many prints are not good.
Never get a fabric that clings to you. A slender person even shows every little bump in a snug fitting dress. Dresses that flow or have layers on the bottom ad movement, which helps with the slimming look. If you are comfortable showing off some cleavage that will also draw attention away from another area that you may not be as happy with.
Always try to wear shoes with heals. Heals make legs look longer and thinner. This draws the eye upward and makes for a slender look even if you are wearing a plus size cocktail dress.
