Plus Size Dresses for the New Year
I’ve been doing a LOT of shopping for plus size dresses online lately. I have to be honest, I spend a lot of time shopping online for great plus size fashions and I love the heck out it. It’s pretty close to instant gratification, if only I could find a way to virtually try them on and not have to wait for shipping.
I’ve mentioned it before, I think, but I buy a lot of clothing online and send a lot of it back once I get it. You have to be organized to make sure you don’t end up with a bunch of clothes you won’t wear, but I think it’s perfectly OK to buy, try, and return if it’s not quite what you had in mind.
Here’s a few of my recent favorites that you have to take a look at.
From our friends over at Igigi, we have these two divine selections:
This is a great number that has a more casual feel to it, but could still be worn to the office or a fun night out to dinner and a show. It has an empire waist, which I love, but still maintains a tailored bottom and emphasizes your curves and does a real number on your legs as well. The 3/4 length sleeves give it a slightly more professional, or career look. Perfect for a big meeting or presentation.
Next, we have this gem, again from Igigi:
This is definitely a more casual, cocktail dress that you’d wear to a party or out on a date with your one-and-only (tell him he’s your one-and-only no matter what..! =] ). The bateau neckline goes wide but still hands on the shoulders. It’s the closest thing to strapless that you’ll get that still has sleeves. Again, it has an empire waist and a flared skirt. The detail on the sleeves is the icing on the cake. I love it!
Head on over to Sydney’s Closet to have a look at this number:
Wow! They claim it’s an A-Line, but I don’t necessarily agree with that. It’s also listed under plus size bridesmaid dresses which it certainly could be, but it might upstage the actual wedding gown itself so be careful! It’s strapless, which some gals tend to shy away from (I love them), but it’s clean and cut well enough that this could be a great break-through dress to expand your fashion comfort zone.
