Thankfully for us plus size women, designers are paying more attention to creating a great-looking plus size dress collection for us. It’s always nice to have choices and to wear a flattering, form-fitting
plus size party dress rather than a bunch of cloth that might look like, well, a potato sack.
Plus Size Special Occasion Dress
If you’re looking for a plus size dress for a wedding reception, a dinner with someone special or perhaps for a work conference or cocktail party, you want something classy and elegant. Should an economical choice be a concern, here are a few tips:
Buy a Solid Color: We're not giving you that old advice about solid colors being "slimming." We think we should all enjoy our curves! Instead, we're suggesting it for smart woman cost savings so you have more to spend elsewhere. A solid color party dress can be made to look different using accessories such as purses, jewelry, and even a hat. That stretches your dollar. Buying a simple color also means you can accessorize for day and night, which is convenient if you’re going to an event straight from work or a day out with the girls.
Buy the Dress Off Season: Fall is a great time to stock up on pretty summer frocks and summer is a good time to get spring dresses at a discount. Also, look at websites such as Overstock.com for deals on designer clothing.
Plus Size Mother of the Bride Dress
Perhaps your darling, grown-up child is getting married, and you want to celebrate with stunning dress to wear to the wedding. First, congratulations. Second, don’t fret. Although many retailers haven given up selling plus size mother of the bride dresses in the in-person store, you can still find them online. Our favorite places include: Ann Taylor, Jones New York, Overstock.com, and Ellen Tracy. Chico’s offers an unusual mixture of fabrics and styles with an artistic and classy flare to them.
Plus Size Clubwear
Perhaps you don’t need to look classy, and you want to shake some booty on the dance floor while turning heads with your fabulous self. We don’t blame you! In fact, we’ll join you out there!
First, though, you have to find amazing club wear that not everyone else has. Pick trendy fashions that will impress them from the door to the floor.
In this instance, you probably don't care to go with a solid color, because you want to stand out. Consider showing some skin with a graphic print that will get everyone's attention and look fantastic.
