Choosing a plus size maxi dress






Plus size maxi dresses can be a girl's best friend, as they cover hips and legs, which many plus size women feel self-conscious about. Although plain, dark colours can help slim down your shape, many maxi dresses are made in patterned material. A large repeating pattern in colours that complements your skin tone will make you look funky and fabulous.


If you're petite, look for patterns that create a vertical line down your body ??this will make you appear taller.


Halter neck or thick straps will help balance your figure and flatter a large bust. Spaghetti straps tend to make you look even bigger on top, so avoid these if you can.


The best style of maxi dress is one that fits close to your body and hugs your curves. A maxi dress can end up looking like a tent, so you need to be particularly careful to choose a flattering style. An empire waistline will be particularly flattering, and if you've got a bit of a bulge on your tummy, wrap a contrasting belt around the thinnest area of your waist, and this will give you a great silhouette.


The key to looking gorgeous in your maxi dress is the right set of accessories. A maxi dress by itself often isn't the most flattering garment, but pair it with a belt to nip in your waist, a stunning pair of sandals or heels, and a cute bag you'll be ready for any occasion.


Plus size ladies shouldn't be left out of the maxi dress craze. Finding the perfect maxi dress is as simple as choosing a pattern and style to flatter your figure and adding your own flair with accessories.
