Plus Size Cocktail
Dresses & Accessories
Looking for cocktail
dresses that will make the most of your figure?
Wondering how
to make the most of the latest fashions, what is suitable for
the fuller figure, and how to enjoy choosing
clothes?
For plus sizes, finding
perfect cocktail dresses can seem like a never ending
process. Not only can it be difficult to find a cute
cocktail party dress that’s affordable and stylish, but it
can also be a problem finding one that complements your
figure.
Because the average woman is a size 14, retailers the world
over are starting to discover the market value for creating
fashionable, affordable dresses. Thankfully there are
more choices than ever so you’ll be able to find the
perfect party dress to flatter your figure.
For full figured women, velvet
cocktail dresses are both stylish and chic. Velvets in jewel
tones work wonders on curvy women, and work to flatter your
figure not hide it. The key in wearing a velvet party dress is
to look for designs that have empire wastes, flowing skirts,
and/or deep scoop necks to enhance your cleavage in a tasteful
way. For plus sizes, these dresses are sure to be a hit and
flatter your figure beautifully.
If you’d like to steer away from the conventional,
choose a dress that takes its style cues from the 50’s and
60’s. These retro dresses have great accents like
taffeta skirts and silk shantung. If you have shapely legs,
these are the perfect dreses for you because they allow
you to flaunt your best assets. Pair these retro ensembles with
a cute, open toe heel to look your stylish best. Just remember
to forego the stilettos in favor of a chunkier, platform
heel.
If you’re not afraid to flaunt what you have, curvy
girls can get away with wearing a beautiful strapless dress.
Contrary to what you may believe, full figured gals can go
strapless with the right support. Make sure the dress has a
built in support system, and wear a well fitting strapless bra
beneath the dress. If you’re a little uncomfortable showing too
much skin, accessorize with a fitted shrug, small jacket or a
shawl to give your outfit a boost of style and still feel
comfortable.
Of course, you could always go the little black dress
route. A timeless classic that never goes out of style, finding
a great fitting dress in black isn’t difficult in the
slightest.
Stay away from bulky fabrics and instead opt for
jersey, a wool crepe blend or lace. If you look for a sheath
that hits about mid knee, you can be sure you’ll always be in
style.
Don’t be afraid to spice up your outfit with metallic
heels, a decorative shrug or classic jewelry. Whatever the
occasion, you’ll definitely be the talk of the room when you
walk in with your classic little black dress.
Before, it could be hard to search for the perfect cocktail
party dress that was not only stylish but affordable as well.
Gone are the days of dowdy frocks and tent-like dreses. Now you
have the option of looking your fashionable best regardless of
the occasion.
So whether you prefer to spice it up in strapless or be demure
in classic black, you have many options when searching for the
perfect outfit.
