Plus size dresses

We women have so much guidance when it comes to fashion, after all, there are TV shows and magazines dedicated to that exact subject, but it can still be daunting to go shopping and find something that actually suits you.

It’s even harder for plus sized women who have to perform a balancing act with their bodies to try and get everything to look in proportion. This can be especially hard in the matter of plus sized dresses. After all, you don’t always want to be swamped in mounds of material to hide those so-called ‘problem’ areas.

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t flaunt the curves you’ve got, and there are a couple of dress designs in the collection of plus size dresses at the K & Co shop that will let you do just that.

First of all there’s the wrap dress. The design on this dress is perfect for emphasizing your bust while hiding wider hips or a wobbly tummy. Wrap dresses are fitted underneath the bust, giving you a little boost in the cleavage area. The good news is that you don’t just have to stick to dark colours, you can also opt for bold patterns and colours with this kind of design.

A maxi dress is also a great option for larger ladies, although this is a design to avoid if you are on the short side, since the sheer amount of material can swamp you. A maxi dress in a halter design or with an empire line cut can work wonders for a plus sized figure. Make sure that the dress gives you plenty of support in the bust area though and try to avoid strapless designs if you are top heavy.

Another style of dress that really suits curvier figures is the 50s style prom dress. The longer skirt length and fuller skirt help to skim over your hips and bum, and if you go for a halterneck style it can help to balance out your larger bottom half, while offering support up top. Make sure to wear with heels or wedges for extra height.
