Plus Size Dresses

If you're having a hard time looking for plus size dresses, don't be intimidated. Just because “thin is in” is still the fashion industry's mantra doesn't mean that you can't find plus size dresses that are fashionable. Just keep in mind these simple rules and you'll be stopping traffic with your fabulous outfits in no time.

Plus size rules

• Dress in monochromatic colors: Dressing up in one hue helps de-emphasize your problematic body parts since it creates a long silhouette for you.
  
  
• Invest in boot-cut: Pencil-cut or skinny pants emphasize the butt. Sticking to boot-cut pants give you a more balanced look thanks to the slim flare at the pants' bottom.
  
  
• Go vertical: Wear vertical stripes because they make you appear slimmer as the lines force the eyes to go up and down, elongating your body.
  
  
• Don't wear low-rise: Regardless of shape and size, few people can pull off wearing lowrise pants. It may be in style but this doesn't mean that it's going to look great on you.
  
  
• Wear heels: Heels are great because they elongate the legs and make you seem taller and slimmer. What's even better is that you can wear them for most anything and not just plus size dresses.
  
  
• Stay away from cropped jackets: These types of jackets work by drawing the eyes to your butt and waist, two major problem areas that plus size women have to deal with. If you must or want to wear a jacket, look for a well-structured one that falls just below the curves of your buttocks.
  
  
• Use a blazer and a belt: Throw on a jacket or a blazer over pants (with a belt) and a shirt so that the eyes can't see just how far your waist extends, giving the illusion of a slimmer waist. This look is also great if you are wearing horizontal striped tops under blazers.
