- Create a trimmer silhouette that makes the eye go up and down.
Your main focus when buying plus size clothing is to create a trimmer silhouette that would make the eye see from top to bottom or bottom to top, instead of side to side.
Thus, you need to consider what details you put on your body and what combination of colors of your outfit works for you. A good rule of thumb is to select details that are scaled to your body size. An example of which is by strategically using a couple of extra necklace layers to create a fuller look that will complement you curvy body scale.
There are three basic strategies under this:
- Ensure proper fit.
Have you been hiding your body in layers and oversized clothes? Please don’t do this. It will only make you look bigger. In order to create a trimmer silhouette you need to ensure that your clothes are your fit and size.
Also, you underwear, especially your bra is very important. It has to have the proper fit in order to keep your bust up and eliminate unevenness.
- Get the body scale right. A good rule of thumb is to scale the prints and accessories with your size. This will help you look a lot less bigger.
- Strategically work with prints, shapes and details. To ensure that the eye doesn’t go side to side, maximize vertical dresses and prints.
2. Dress Your Body Shape
Before shopping for plus size women’s clothing online or in stores, you need to take a closer look at the contours and proportion of your body.
The word ‘plus size’ isn’t a category by itself. It is both for tall and short full figure women. Each has its own body shape that requires different styling and clothing techniques.
So before you follow the latest trends in plus size fashion, know first your body shape, measurement, and size, seriously.
- Well-Balanced Proportions Can Make You Look Trimmer
After you identify your body shape, then you will be able to decide how and what clothes suit you best. This will help you set the clothes and accessories that will create curves on the right places, make any prominent body part less obvious, and keep your waist defined.
Basically, the huge take away here it to primarily identify which body figure you are in and maximize this to create a well balanced proportion that can help you look leaner and taller, so to speak.
I came here Tuesday looking for a dress for my baby shower! I left with a beautiful fun and colorful dress that fits my plus size maternity belly! I absolutely love it, and the woman who helped me and suggested so many different dresses for my special occasion. Love this boutique❤️
I ordered the teal/black shirt with the 3/4 sleeves a couple weeks ago!! I knew it was going to be SUPER cute but I really expected the quality to be horrible. I was SO WRONG! This shirt is amazing and I have received compliment after compliment while wearing it!!! I’m ready to order more!!!!
Love the clothing!!! It’s nice to see that trendy fashion can be in plus size.
I discovered your store I THINK, 2 years ago. You had a location in the mall at the time and I self consciously entered the store and began to look around with my husband in tow. I was very pleased to find that the staff was friendly and helpful, and beyond that, the clothes were not just in my size….they were ADORABLE!!!! With the help of the staff I found some wonderful outfits and we ended up leaving the store that day having purchased more clothes in one day than I had purchased in probably a year. The quality of your clothes is amazing! As a bigger girl who grew up shopping at Kmart after her sister was done shopping at nice stores in the mall, I thank you for giving me a place I can go to get gorgeous, comfy clothes at a reasonable price that are made for us big girls. My daughter in law AND my sister have threatened to raid my closet since I’ve been shopping at Curvy….and I have NEVER had anyone want to borrow or “steal” my clothes before. Again, thank you for making it possible for us big girls to look & feel sexy in a world where big isn’t looked at twice!!! Y’all ROCK!
Love the styles!
