Plus Size Formal Dresses

Retrun To Fashion Articles

For plus size formal gowns, there are several key design elements that can help increase the fit of your dress as well as hide "trouble areas." One great rule to follow is to try to minimize large busts and accentuate the waistline for an hourglass figure. An ideal garment that will help you achieve this look is a corset. In vintage or modern designs, corsets work to support the chest while pulling in the waist, literally shaving off inches from your visible waist.

To hide your arms, you can wear a shawl in the same fabric and color as your formal dress. This can help you in a number of areas. A shawl can be worn over the shoulders to hide the upper arm area, or around the mid-section to disguise the tummy. This accent will also add flair to your outfit and increase your elegance and grace.
