Plus Size Fashion - What Is Your Best Fit?
By Claire Armstrong
There is currently a much wider range of plus size fashion options on the market than there has ever been before. Women all over the world who have struggled to find well fitting, flattering outfits are now presented with options that they never thought, or dreamt, were possible.
For some larger women it has been an absolute blessing to find a wider variety of clothes, however this has also caused confusion for some that have been used to covering up and wearing oversized T-shirts and jumpers for a very long time. Being presented with new options is great, but it can be difficult to know which clothes suit which types of figure.
Hiding the body or covering up as much as possible may seem like a good idea at the time, although it generally adds many extra pounds that are not necessary. I have always been one of those people that look for the largest shirts and jumpers in order to try and cover up in the hope that no one will notice how much weight I have put on. When I discovered some wonderful plus size fashion, I was embarrassed in the store when I tried the different garments on. Speaking to the salesperson I mentioned that the clothes seemed too revealing for me, however she made me feel extremely comfortable and explained how I could use my best features to my advantage. I am so pleased I listened to her advice! I began wearing the clothes immediately and there was not one person I knew who didn’t compliment me in some way, most of them asking me how I had managed to lose so much weight.
Purchasing plus size fashion is an option available to many women of all shapes and sizes. If you have a larger than average bust, it can be difficult to purchase tops and dresses that will fit this area of your body in a ‘normal’ clothing store. There are many women who are a size 18 in the bust and a 14 in the waist. It is important to discover exactly which sizes you need for which area of the body. This will make your shopping experience much more enjoyable and rewarding whether it be in person or online. If you do have a larger bust, try to avoid round neck or turtle neck sweaters and opt for a v-neck as these will definitely be more appealing and create a slimming effect.
When choosing a pair of jeans be wary of hipsters as there have been many that are ill fitting and look quite unsightly as women go about their daily activities. Hipsters that have been specially designed for the larger lady may be a suitable option, however it would definitely be wise to avoid trying to squeeze into a smaller size.
Jeans and other clothing that fit well and that have been chosen carefully can make any woman feel and look wonderful regardless of what the size says on the tag. It is absolutely remarkable what a few new items of clothing can do for mood and self esteem.
