Top Five Flattering Styles Of Dresses For Size 22 and above

If you've got curves then you'l want to show them off in a dress that suits your shape. It doesn't
matter what size you are - we've seen some lovely dresses size 22, dresses size 26 and dresses size
28 - but you do need to know your body shape.

Most plus-size ladies dresses are cut to flatter a certain figure, so you need to know if you're an
apple shape, a pear shape, or have a busty or hourglass silhouette as well as knowing whether you
take dresses size 22 or dresses size 28.

Empire Dresses
With the waistline of the dress usual y sitting just under the bust, the plus size empire dress offers a
soft silhouette which skims the form. As the waistline is high up, this dress helps to hide tummys,
lengthen the torso and create a shape whilst stil offering a high level of comfort. These are
especially flattering for apple and busty shapes.

Prom Dresses
Prom dresses have a fitted top that flares out into a full skirt. This slims the hips and enhances
natural hourglass curves on everyone whether you take dresses size 16 or dresses size 26. Plus size
prom dresses look stylish and elegant so they're suitable for weddings and formal occasions as well
as nights out on the town.

Maxi Dresses
Dresses size 28 can look wide but maxi dresses slim all frames by falling to the floor, hiding all of the
areas you'd like to disguise - tummys, legs and bums. This means they'l slim and lengthen your
frame by creating a smooth line from top to bottom. Certain styles are gathered at the waits to
flatter hourglass silhouettes while v-neck plus size maxi dresses flater busty people.

Maxi dresses are the most versatile style of dress as you can dress them up or down with different
footwear and accessories - make sure there's at least one maxi in your wardrobe.

Pleated Dresses
Thought pleats were only available on smaller sizes than dresses size 22? Think again as pleats are a
new trend on plus-size dresses this Autumn, as fashion takes up the 1970s vibe again. A pleated
dress with embellished sleeves is great for balancing out pear shapes, while a plain pleated dress will
flatter apple shapes by flowing out over your top half. They're available in some gorgeous colours
like rich mocha or luxurious navy - great for a dinner party or an evening catch up with friends.

Chiffon Dresses
Chiffon dresses are new-in this Autumn and they're flying off the shelves as they're effortlessly
elegant. The fabric is soft and feminine and flows out over the figure to disguise tummys. They're
available in gorgeous Autumn colours like bright red or rich saffron and although they suit most
shapes, apple types will find them the most flattering.
