Body Shape Considerations For Plus Size Designer Gowns

• Hourglass Shape: Plus women with an hourglass shape have balanced proportions with a defined waist. Opt for peplum or A-line dresses that are perfect for enhancing your curves. Besides, V-necklines and natural waistlines are also great for accentuating your waist.
• Apple Shape: For apple shaped women who have broader shoulders and bust with a less defined waistline, fit-and-flare gowns truly provide a flattering silhouette. Moreover, low V-necklines or dresses with detailing on and around the neck work are best to withdraw attention from the torso.
• Pear Shape: With narrower shoulders and bust paired with fuller hips and thighs, much-loved silhouettes for pear-shaped figures include empire, A-line, tulip, and fit and flare. Besides, Boat neck, halter neck, or off-the-shoulder styles help to highlight your waistline.
• Inverted Triangle Shape: From fit-and-flare to A-line, mermaid to shift, and peplum styles, the silhouettes option for inverted triangle plus size women are endless. Additionally, the V-neckline creates an illusion of a narrower upper body, ensuring you make the perfect choice.
• Rectangle Shape: Featuring uniform measurements throughout the body with a tiny waist definition, flared styles, ruffled designs, or empire waistline gowns are perfect to add some structure to the figure. Choose V-neck, scoop neck, halter necks, or even strapless gowns for a perfect fit.

Right Fabric

The fabric of an attire plays a major role in adding comfort and elegance to your appearance. Choose materials for plus size evening outfits that drape beautifully, giving a smooth and curvaceous fit.

• Stretch Crepe: It offers flexibility and comfort due to its stretchable quality, allowing the dress to move with you while providing a flattering fit.
• Jacquard: It is a rich, textured fabric that adds depth and dimension. Jacquard masks imperfections and provides a structured yet comfortable feel, enhancing your appearance.
