Tips For Choosing Plus Size Prom Dresses

By Dianne Crane


The fact that you are looking for plus size prom dresses, does not mean you have to sacrifice style. You can find a gorgeous dress that accentuates your assets and minimizes problem areas. You just have to know how to shop and what to look for. Luckily, you can easily figure this out. The most important thing is to find something that makes you feel wonderful. This is your special night, you deserve to look and feel like a princess.

Be sure the dress fits. This is a rule that many girls fail to follow. Know your measurements. Choose a dress that fits the largest measurement. You can easily have the dress altered for the other areas. The dress will look much better doing it this way. You will feel a lot more comfortable too. Being squeezed into a dress that is too small is no fun. Buy something you are comfortable in so you can have fun and dance.

Draw attention to the parts you are happy with and draw the eye away from those areas that you are less satisfied with. For example if you have a tiny waist that you love and large hips and thighs that make you less happy, think about choosing something with a sash or belt that goes around the waist. This will draw attention to that area.

If your waist is your problem area, draw the eye upwards by wearing a shawl around your shoulders. This will also balance out your smaller top half, with your wider waist area. You can also draw the eye upward by wearing stunning jewelry around your neck and on your ears.

If you love your legs, show them off. If you are one who thinks that a formal dress must be long, you are wrong. Wear something with an uneven hemline that will allow those great legs to be seen. Don't go for a mini, but you don't have to go for a gown either. Usually a dress shop will have several options that are formal, yet not a long gown. You should be able to find something with no problem.

Play around with color. Be sure to pick something that goes with your complexion. You do not have to wear black because it is slimming. There are many colors that you can choose from. One trick for someone who wants to make their body look longer is to wear something light on top and darker on the bottom. Your body will look elongated.

Do not overlook shape wear. These are underthings that helps your shape. You will look instantly thinner just by putting it on. Plan on wearing this on your big day and when you shop. Leaving your shape wear at home when you shop could result in a dress that does not fit right.

You are now armed with some great tips for finding plus size prom dresses. Remember that if you feel confident and beautiful, everyone will see you that way. Be comfortable and find something that makes you happy. It is after all, your special day. Have a good time.
