Expert Tips For Choosing Formal Dresses In Plus Size
You have finally received that invitation to the party of the
year. Whether it is a wedding, charity fundraiser, or other
black tie event, you will need to head to your local retailer
that carries formal dresses in plus size. You want to look your
best, yet feel comfortable. There are many choices in formal
dresses in plus size, so let's review the best styles for your
grand entrance.
You need to ask yourself what you will be doing at the party.
Will you be kicking up your heels on the dance floor, posing for
a multitude of photos, or greeting dignitaries in a receiving
line? What you will be doing should influence what formal dress
in plus size you need to select.
If you are a guest at a formal wedding, you will want to look
for a dress that you will be comfortable in for at least six to
eight hours. As well, because wedding photos will be kept for
years and years, choose a style that isn't too trendy. You don't
want to cringe twenty years from now when you look at the photos
of yourself in the hot pink taffeta ensemble that the
salesperson said was the look of the season.
If you will be dancing at the upcoming event, search for a
formal dress that flatters the body but isn't snug or
restricting. The last thing that you want to be worried about is
ripping a seam or exposing more of yourself than you want.
Always remember that the fit of a dress is the important thing,
not the size on the tag. You will look slimmer
in a well-fitting
dress than in one that puckers and bunches because it is too
tight.
Once you have selected your ideal formal dress, the accessories
and footwear you choose will complete your look. If your dress
is ornate or cut high on the neck, limit your jewelry to a pair
of eye-catching earrings. If you are showing décolletage, you
can get away with a strand of pearls, diamond pendant, or even a
statement piece of costume jewelry. Vintage bracelets and
brooches look great with strapless dresses.
Since your hemline will most likely cover your footwear, it is
perfectly acceptable to wear a sensible heel height. Look for a
basic peau de soie or satin pump or sandal. Don't feel obligated
to dye your shoes to match your dress. You'll get a lot more
wear out of a pair that is a neutral shade.
With a little effort, you can create a perfect look for any
special event. The right combination of style and comfort will
keep you looking and feeling beautiful throughout the
festivities.
