If you are plus size and need to find
plus size evening wear, then there are several options in front of you. First, you need to decide if you want to make your own plus size formal dress, or purchase it from your local store.
If you want to make your own
plus size evening, the first step you need is to find a good tailor. Ask around and check out your friends and family for references. Not all tailors are equal in skill, so it’s best that you check out their past designs to get an idea of what they are good at.
Next, you need to find a
plus size evening wear design that is trendy, but suits your body type. Get ideas from magazines such as Teen Prom, or the Internet, print the pictures out and show them to your tailor.
She’ll probably show you some cloth materials she has that you can choose from to make your dress. It’s good to know that the material you choose has an effect on the outcome of your
plus size evening wear design. Ask your tailor for your opinions, and she’ll probably give you good advice on the type of material you can use.
On the other hand, you could also shop for
plus size evening wear from evening wear stores around your area. Instead of spending time trying on everything you fancy at first sight, it may be a good idea for you to identify your body shape first.
If you are Apple shape with a fuller upper body, you should choose dresses with a V-neck to show of some of that cleavage. Also, short dresses would look well if you have slim looking legs. Otherwise, find an A-line skirt that balances your lower body, with your upper body.
Conversely, if you have a smaller torso but a heavier bottom, this means you are pear shaped. Thus, your goal is to camouflage your lower body, and make your upper body more widened. Empire cut dresses are excellent for this, and A-line skirts work to hide your lower body. Avoid short plus size evening wear if your legs aren’t too slim-looking. You may even go for a dress with a belt in the middle to accentuate your waist.
All in all, it’s fairly easy to look good in
plus size evening wear, as long you know how to pick the right dress!
