Fashionable Plus Size Dresses For Any Occasion

By Carl Harris


When it comes to having a versatile wardrobe, something that is practical that can be worn at almost any occasion is the way to go. Ideal pieces may be a nice button down shirt that is easy to care for, or a pair of pants that are slimming. However, fashionable plus size dresses are often an underrated must for any closet.

Sometimes women who wear larger sizes may feel that a dress is impractical. This may have once been the case but these days, there is something for just about every body type. Clothing designers now realize that one size does not necessarily fit all. Body shapes are just as different as people.

Dresses of today come in a variety of styles meant to complement the feminine physique and sometimes, conceal problem areas. Women who are larger below the waistline will find styles that give more of a balanced silhouette. At the same time, there are styles that downplay features like a heavy top.

There was also once a time when plus sized clothing was made for a woman of average height but this has changed for the better, as well. Clothing manufacturers have finally realized that females come in various sizes and want something that fits right off the rack. This means women who are tall or short will have more to choose from and not have to worry about getting it professionally altered.

Dresses are also made from materials that look good and are easy to care for. Microfiber materials can have a silky look and feel but provide enough support to slim waistlines. Other synthetic blends, especially those made with spandex can give one confidence when they find themselves between dress sizes.

There was once a time when fuller dress styles came and went with a certain decade but, today that has changed. Designers find new ways to introduce retro styles to new customers and these tend to stay on shelves longer than before. One example of this was the pencil style dresses and skirts, which tend to be slimming and can be worn many ways.

Besides the cut of the dress, designers are becoming more aware which colors and textile patterns complement fuller sizes. Ages ago, either black, dark blue or earth tones were the safest choices for a woman of size because they did not want to stand out. However, the growing size empowerment movement has given women all over the confidence to wear bright, bold colors that can be accessorized.

Even those who like to still play it safe can add excitement with bold jewelry or accessories, like a bright colored scarf. Large, chunky earrings are another way to give life to a simple dress. The possibilities are endless for those who are adventurous in their wardrobe.

There are many benefits to having at least a couple of dresses in the closet, as maintenance is minimal and they can be flattering. Those made from lightweight fabrics are ideal for wash and wear and can be a nice change from wearing a two piece outfit. Larger sizes have the right to variety like anyone else.
