Plus Size Buying Advice

The traditional buying advice for larger ladies buying plus size clothing has traditionally been quite tame, suggesting that the fuller figure is best suited to dark clothing. In this article I will discuss the traditional advice given to ladies of size, and suggest a few alternatives that will also look good.

  • A plain black dress is a wardrobe mainstay.
    There is no getting away from the fact that black is a very slimming colour, and suits many shapes and sizes. However, very pale skins can seem even paler when black dresses are worn, and I would suggest that fairer skins look towards navy and other dark colours in addition to black. If you hold the dress next to your face you will see which colours suit you the best. You could even consider spending some time with a "Colour Me Beautiful" consultant, who will be able to advise you on the perfect colours and makeup for your skin tones. Accessories such as diamond earrings will draw attention to your face. When choosing your tights, try and get them in a colour similar to that of your dress and finish off the outfit with a pair of high heels if you can manage to walk in them - this look will make you appear taller and slimmer.
  • Self coloured clothing is more slimming than patterns.
    Whilst this is true, it doesn't mean that you have to avoid all patterns. Big floral patterns don't really flatter anyone, but, for example, a fine pine stripe suit can be very flattering, when teamed with an open necked shirt that skims over the top of your waist. Try tieing a brightly coloured scarf around your neck (again to draw attention to your face.)
  • Make yourself appear as tall as possible.
    This is done by wearing high heels and sticking to one colour top to toe. So if you are going to wear a belt, make sure that it is the same colour as the rest of your outfit, otherwise it will have the effect of cutting you in half. If the occasion is appropriate, consider wearing a hat for extra height.
  • Don't wear tight clothing
    If in doubt, always go for a bigger size. Pyschologically this can be difficult - you always want to wear the smallest size possible. However, noone else knows what size you are wearing - cut the labels out of your clothing if it makes you feel better. Clothing that is too tight, such as blouses straining at the bust or skirts digging in around the waist are very unflattering. Clothes that are slightly too big give more of a slimming effect.
