PLUS SIZE LADIES - IGNORE THE LABEL SIZE & ENJOY WEARING WHAT MAKES YOU LOOK GOOD/FEEL GOOD

PLUS SIZE LADIES

The first rule whatever your size is ignore the size label at all costs.  Try on what you feel is right for you and make sure you look at all angles in the mirror – front, back as well as the side before purchasing.   Also not all mirrors in the High Street are flattering – some make you look wonderful others quite the opposite.

SOME DO's & DONT's

DO

• Work with your shape and size;


• Recognise the positives within your shape and size – we all have these;


• Think of colours – darker shades are best;


• Experiment with accessories – there are lots of tricks to deter the eye from what you consider to be your negative areas.
  

DON'T

• Hide your body under baggy tops and baggy trousers – this will make you look bigger;
  

• Avoid too tight – this will make you look bigger;

• Wear heavy knits & tweeds;

• Avoid big prints & thick horizontal stripes.

DRESS TO IMPRESS WITH A FULLER FIGURE

Whatever your size and shape always think proportions.

• Never wear baggy trousers with a baggy top;

• Think of lengths in your skirts and dresses;

• Consider necklines – V- neck is ideal for the larger lady;

• Remember to choose accessories based on your size ie you can get away with a large handbag or detailed chunky jewellery

Take a wee look at the above and notice

• The chiffon type trousers which will fall in a flattering way.

 

• The top again giving arm coverage but allowing a bangle to sit on the wrist drawing the eyes towards the wrists and hands. 
  


• The Coatigan brings a bit of colour to the outfit and the edge to edge, no detailed fuss is ideal, as is the overall length and sleeve length.
  


• Shoes - very simple avoiding a square look for the foot but rather slightly pointed in a wide fitting size.

 

• Large bag with the little scarf to add a touch of trendiness.

 

• Pendant necklace creating a look to elongate the upper torso.
