Look for a More Structured Silhouette While many women with full figures may want to hide behind loads of material or a wide-cut silhouette, these types of dresses can actually work against a woman. Creating structure and proportion should be the goal of selecting a plussize dress; as such a woman should look for tailored options and eschew the loose, voluminous lines she is used to. A wrap dress, for example, is a very flattering silhouette for any woman, creating a lovely waist line by drawing the eye in with drapes and the wrap design itself. It also creates an hourglass proportion that looks well on any woman. Look for Drape to Hide Trouble Spots


If a woman is self-conscious about certain areas of her body, a well-placed drape in a dress can go a long way toward ameliorating that lack of confidence. While other design details such as frills or applique can actually draw attention to a trouble spot, a well-constructed drape can work to hide it elegantly. Find a Plus-Size Dress That Draws Focus Towards Favourite Features Women should seek out plus-size dresses that favour strong features. For example, a woman with clear blue eyes might look for a dress that highlights this unique feature. A woman who likes her legs might look for an A-line mini, while a woman with an hourglass shape might look for a dress with a fitted waist. Choose Patterns Wisely The common wisdom that patterns can be problematic on plus-size dresses is quite false. Patterns and prints can definitely work on a plus-size dress when done properly. Patterns should be all over and consistent, one solid print that addresses the entire dress. A pattern here or there can widen the silhouette or highlight imbalances in a figure. Large, all-over patterns are the key. Leverage Bold, Oversized Jewellery and Accessories


Woman with full figures can wear bold jewellery pieces much more successfully than many other women. Moreover, a well-placed bit of jewellery can draw the eye toward flattering features or create a balanced look for a woman’s figure.

Women should keep in mind that there are certain silhouettes and accessories that work better with certain figure types. The following chart elucidates the choices that go well with the three main types of plus-sized figures.
