Plus sized dresses are so much nicer than they used to be. The old days of larger women having an assortment of “tent” shaped dresses to choose from are finally over, and designers are finally coming around to this mostly untapped market for great looking dresses. Not only are plus sized dresses better looking than they used to be, they’re better made too, and made in fabrics that are luxurious, comfortable, and that look terrific.
Many larger women and designers as well are realizing just how lovely curvy women look in dresses that have shape to them. Yes, large women sometimes have hourglass figures too, and they look terrific in styles that emphasize their shape. Belted dresses used to be off-limits (or unavailable) to larger women, but that is changing.
The beautiful, exotic look of the empire waist is another universally flattering shape. In fact, women who wish they had curves will choose this style to give the illusion of having them. Empire waist plus sized dresses make the most of an impressive décolletage and flow beautifully from underneath the bust, giving a graceful and very womanly look.
Plus sized dresses with belted jackets, dresses with darts at the bust and hip, and dresses cut on the bias are finally starting to become more readily available. The fashion designer that realizes that bigger women crave fashion just as much as smaller women is the one that will succeed today.
