Returning To Plus Size Fashion Dresses


The prettiest element of any celebration is not the lights or the assortment of accessories that adorn the venue. Its not the flowers that grace the tables and its not the sculptures that punctuate the s[ace. It is most certainly the women dressed fashionably and properly. With the advent, or rather, the return to prevalence of plus size fashion dresses the evening cotillion has returned to such magnificence that the mere whisper of a ball makes the heart race and thoughts drift.

The one thing of social habits that has not waned in the last millennia is the tradition of having to attend a soiree of elegantly dressed guests. The women are so well dressed that it gives an air of such exquisite temperament. The mode of transportation may have changed from the first party where the lady was carried high in a litter and then as the centuries passed it was in carriages and fast forward today its a stretch limousine that chauffeurs the elegantly dressed couple. Other than that much else has changed except the definition of what is considered beauty.

In the days of antiquity, a lady with full girth of arms and limbs and round waste in plus size fashion dresses was considered an Aphrodite. Aphrodite was a Greek goddess. Her realm spanned the female form and the notion of love and pleasure as well. She is depicted by statues and  sculptures in full size – not petites, and was the very symbol of the perfect women. To be referred to as Aphrodite was the epitome of a women's outlook of herself and men would swoon and battle lions to prove their worth to such a buxom woman.

Things today are returning to that point of view and the full woman with curves has begun to enter the imagination. With it a long train of plus size fashion dresses have made award-winning appearance on the runway. As the new chapter of the century is being written, let it be said that plus size fashion dresses have returned will be prevalent for a long while.

The Plus Size Designer Australia Gave The World


The plus size designer Australia is capable of producing is far superior to the ones found anywhere, be it New York, Milan or Paris.  The reasons are not readily apparent but the connotations are there and the underlying tones of the implications are present as well. But why does this appear so? Why is Australia able to stake claim to this accolade while the rest of the nations are falling severely behind.

The answer one would venture to predict is the plus size designer Australia has thus far produced has been able to look beyond all the rhetoric of the fashion industry and focus on the beauty nature has bestowed on the natural women. This has got to be the answer since nowhere else on earth is this materialising.

Once upon a time in history, this plus size designer Australia has produced would have been hailed as pure genius. The times when Johann Sebastian Bach composed chamber music and the air was still clean. Today composers pretend to compose noise that they pass of as music, fashion designers are ill prepared to handle curves so they hail flat surfaces and the air, is well, difficult.

It is this plus size designer Australia has produced is not only a genius but also deserves the gratitude of fathers everywhere. It is this  plus size designer Australia has homegrown that mothers should thank so that their daughters are no longer forced by culture and fashion magazines to change who they are to who they thing the world wants to see.

It has been some time since Romans ruled the world and one aspect that is missing since then is the love of the curves on women. The paintings and frescos of the time depict such beauty and curves fit for goddesses. One can only long for the return of that sort of appreciation. In the event the  plus size designer Australia has cultivated is successful in promoting the plus sizes then maybe we have turned the corner as a society and we are on our way to appreciating beauty the way the Romans did back so long ago.

As a salute to the plus size designer Australia has created, we can only hope that other designers follow suite. In the event they do not, maybe it is up to the consumer to demand it. Maybe its time we heed the call of the  plus size designer Australia has created and loosen our belts a little after dinner tonight.

The Perfect Dress for your Perfect Day

Most women dream of their wedding day from when they are very little. They dream about walking down the aisle and having all eyes on them. Larger brides also want to look perfect but may find it more difficult to find plus size dresses that suit them. That said it is still possible to find the perfect plus size dresses for your wedding day. Good tailoring and choosing the right cut will go a long way towards making your plus size dresses perfect for your wedding day.

Fit Before all Else


The most important thing is for your dress to have a proper fit. The dress should not look painted on and should also not be loose or baggy. Make sure that, should you lose a bit of weight before the big day, you must alter the dress so that it fits properly. If you are unable to walk comfortably or sit comfortably in your dress, it is too tight. If your dress keeps slipping all over the place, it is simply too loose.

Get the Perfect Shape

You need to try and create a pleasing silhouette. The hourglass shape is the ideal that most women go for and to get it, you will need to find a dress that follows your curves. You need your plus size dresses that cinch in the waist so that the hourglass shape is achieved. The A-line dress is probably the one style that will suit just about anyone and creates the desired hourglass silhouette.

Hide the Lumps and Bumps

If your tummy is quite large, as an example, plus size clothing should not be so tight as to accentuate the bump. You want a satin or other fabric that is less shiny so as not to make you look bigger. Keep your embellishment around the dress’s hem and on the dress’s bodice to deflect from the tummy area. The style that suits just about anybody is the V-neck style. If you bust is large, halter-neck dresses and strapless styles are to be avoided.

Minimize your Size

You must be careful when choosing your plus size dresses that no bulk is added. It is very easy to do. The traditional, puffy skirts are not at all flattering for larger ladies. Similarly, you can easily add unwanted bulk by sewing in ruffles, etc. The more details there are, the more the eye is drawn to those areas. Make sure you keep that in mind.

Every little girl deserves their dream wedding – make yours perfect by choosing the best possible dress for your style.

Busting Fashion Myths


The fashion market for plus sizes has really exploded in recent years. Manufacturers and designers alike have cottoned on to the fact that plus size dresses and other clothes are in great demand. Despite the wider range of choice, many plus size women still fall prey to the same silly errors. Following the ensuing tips will help you look great in plus size dresses no matter what your current weight. Let’s bust the myths together. 

Dark Colors are Slimming

Art theory would seem to apply – dark colors recede and are used to make things look smaller. In fashion this really only holds true if you are wearing the perfect fabric. For black to look really good, you have to spend a bit more and buy quality fabrics. If you want to see why this is so, grab a pair of dark pantyhose. Look at your legs in the mirror after putting them on. The black makes your ankles look great, doesn’t it? Now, look further up. At the wider parts of the leg, the material stretches and the color is not as even. This happens because the fabric is stretched. The same happens with all clothes. When wearing black plus size fashion dresses, fit is extremely important. Color should never be excluded from your wardrobe; it can make a big difference to your look. Color can often hide a lot more than black can and won’t make people wonder what you have to hide. 

Vertical Stripes slim you Down

Not so much – the problem with stripes, even vertical ones, is that they stretch out over the bulky bits and so accentuate them. The stripes don’t look as good if they are no longer parallel. Wider stripes hold their shape more easily. 

Wear Solid Tone Fabrics

A lot of women think that plus size dresses should be completely devoid of patterns. This is not entirely false. You have to consider a print carefully before putting onto your body. Tiny patterns can look a little silly and out of proportion with your size. The exception is polka dots – these can look pretty good. Confidence can be shown in the print that you choose. People think that if you take the time to wear colors and prints, you are pretty confident. 

The most important thing to remember is that clothes should not add bulk to your body – ignore plus size dresses that are covered in ruffles. They are much better left to on your home décor, not yourself.
In general though, you need to try on a lot of clothes in order to see what actually does and does not suit you. At the end of the day, none of the rules are as important as what the clothes look like on you.
