Plus Size Dresses
Special occasions are for women of all shapes and sizes, and thanks to NewYorkDress.com’s Plus Size Dresses collection, you can look at the pieces that some of our favorite designers have put together for the women who’re carrying a few extra pounds. Find something truly flattering and make yourself gorgeous for your next prom, wedding, formal dance, or other special event.
WHY PICK FROM THE PLUS SIZE COLLECTION?
Part of the reason it can be hard to find clothing to fit the plus-size figure is because not all designers understand the unique features of larger bodies. Designs that flatter smaller ladies might need to be adjusted to look their best on fuller figures. What the dresses in our plus size collection have in common is that they’ve all been designed and styled in ways that address specific challenges that plus-size shoppers face. By paying special occasion to problem areas – the hips, arms, bust, waist and stomach – these gowns become not only wearable but incredibly flattering for women who’ve been having a rough time finding their perfect formal dress because they wear a non-standard size!
PATTERNS AND STYLES FOR THE PLUS SIZE GIRL
Designers like Party Time Prom and Faviana bring their touch for elegance and luxury to these gorgeous special occasion gowns. The looks are created in both solid colors and prints, with a few bold animal colors standing out. There are some gorgeous looks that use full bodices to support and minimize the bust, as well as numerous dresses with empire silhouettes – a look that can help cover problem areas in the torso. What the flashy patterns and colorful prints have in common is that they all show the world how proud you are to be showing yourself off in your gorgeous new designer dress!
ACCESSORIES MAKE THE OUTFIT
No matter which of the plus size designer dresses in this collection you choose, you still need to think about how you’ll complete your special event outfit. Think ahead of time about the shoes, jewelry and other accessories you want to wear with your dress. Many of these gowns are strapless or asymmetrical, and the full length skirts will prevent anything but glimpses of shoes – so plan accordingly and keep your comfort on your big night in mind when selecting shoes. While heels may look great, if you’re going to be on your feet for the better part of the event’s duration then consider wearing pretty flats that will be mostly hidden beneath your skirt, anyway. Find a clutch or small purse that compliments the luxury of your designer dress from NewYorkDress.com, and you’ll be able to carry your necessities with you through the evening.
HOW WILL YOU WEAR YOUR HAIR?
Another area to spend some time thinking about is the question of getting the perfect hairstyle to go with your dress! More formal occasions, such as weddings, often call for bridesmaids or other participants to have elaborate hairstyles created, while more standard parties might call for a loose style that hangs over your shoulders. Think about the image you want to project – carefully-put-together, or a little bit wild – and make sure that this is reflected in your choice of hairstyle in order to achieve maximum effect. Although it’s not exactly “hair” related, another hint is to remember that makeup can be the final touch when it comes to making your look come together. If you want to wear deep, dramatic makeup, keep this in mind as you decide on your hairstyle, as the two should suit one another and less is almost always better than more when it comes to fashion.
TAKE YOUR PLUS SIZE DRESSES OUT ON THE TOWN!
Once you’ve purchased a dress from our plus size collection, you’ll understand how important it is to select gowns from designers who know how to work with plus-size body types and who make the effort to construct gowns to suit larger frames. Many of these dresses are suitable for multiple occasions, including bridesmaids gowns, formal events and charity dinners, and special dances and celebratory occasions. Being both modest and trend-oriented, the looks are appropriate for women of all ages, from the high school teen who needs to claim her place in the homecoming court right on through mothers watching their daughters walk down the aisle. Choosing the right dress from the Plus Size collection has already been made easy, since you know each of these looks is available in larger sizes, and with the added bonus of knowing your figure will be flattered by some of the most talented designers in fashion you’ll have peace of mind as you prepare yourself for your special event, as well!
