Society standards today have instilled in the minds of people and even teenagers that the ideal body type is what you see in magazines and on television, models that are used by fashion designers to advertise their creations. The idea that thin looks good has become epidemic these days. The problem underlying this norm results in the great lack of confidence among people, especially women and young girls who are plus size. If you are one of these people, consider this your lucky day.
In this article I will share with you several tips on how any plus size person can still look as elegant as those runway models, through the proper choice of plus size formal wear.
When I say best, I am not referring to the most expensive gown made by a sought after fashion designer in the whole world but something that any person can afford. The common misconception among most individuals is that wearing the prettiest gown you can find in a fashion boutique can transform an ugly duckling into a swan. Magic only exists in fairytales! This is the real world, so it is best we pay attention to details.
Plus Size Is Sexy
First thing you should get rid is the idea that a full figured body will never be a sexy body. Try remembering Tocarra Jones, America's Next Top Model finalist or the Steven Tyler's beautiful daughter, Mia. They are famous plus size celebrities who have never been insecure with other co-celebrities around them. Let us face it, most men would prefer curvy women than those stick-figured models. Ask around, you'll be surprised! What I'm really trying to say it, love yourself and your body.
Know Your Body Shape
Make a shopping guide list to help you out when shopping. Get to know your basic body characteristics such as body shape, your best features, skin tone and body frame. This is an easy task especially if you are a keen observer. After this you should make a list of your preferred colors, dress designs, length and so on. This list will serve as your draft guide. To finalize your list, consult the internet for guides on recommended fashions for your body type. The shortened list will serve as your weapon for the next task.
Have Fun Shopping
Go out and have fun shopping. There is no such rule that restricts plus size people to wear low chest cuts or short hemlines so be yourself and find the type of dresses and gowns that suit your sense of fashion. Always keep in mind to base your preferences on your previously made shopping guide to make sure you choose what flatters your figure most.
Classify Your New Wardrobe
Once you have your new set of wardrobe, it is time to classify your items. You can use categories such as plus size formal, semi-formal and corporate but you can also try classifying them according to color family. This is helpful especially if you are the shoes-match-dress type of dresser. This helps you out greatly to easily find your outfits when you need it.
The most basic thing you should remember, when you are about to go to a party dressed up in your brand new and lovely plus size formal wear, is to also dress with confidence! Confidence is key to looking and feeling beautiful at all times.
What if you just cannot find quality plus size formal wear?
I know how it feels. Sometimes not matter how much you look, and how much shopping you do, you end up not finding what you are looking for. And sometimes with plus size formal wear it proves to be even more difficult as you cannot just settle with any odd dress. You need special clothes for extra special occasions.
