By Dianne Crane


There are some easy tips for choosing plus size prom dresses. By following these tips you will learn how to show off the parts that you want to and how to minimize those that you feel less happy with. Once you know these tricks you will be able to walk into a shop and immediately know what will and will not work for you.

Take your measurements. Jot down them down and take note of where you are largest. This is the part that the dress you choose must fit. A common mistake is to try to squeeze into a dress that fits your smaller areas. This often results in you being uncomfortable all evening and what you're wearing not looking its best. It is better to get something that fits perfectly in your larger area. You can then take it to be altered. The result is something that feels great and looks great.

Draw attention to the parts you are happy with and draw the eye away from those areas that you are less satisfied with. For example if you have a tiny waist that you love and large hips and thighs that make you less happy, think about choosing something with a sash or belt that goes around the waist. This will draw attention to that area.

On the other hand, if you consider your waist area a problem, you do not want to draw attention to it. Likewise if your lower half is larger and your top half is smaller, you will want to create more balance. Do this will a beautiful shawl. It will cover up the fact that your top is smaller than your bottom.

Some people consider their legs to be one of their best features. However, they may feel that the legs have to be covered for such a formal affair. These people will be happy to know that this is not the case. Wear an uneven hem, such as a handkerchief style. You can also wear a shorter in the front than the back style. While you probably do not want to choose a mini dress for this occasion, there is no rule that says legs must be totally covered.

Think about color. Choose a color that compliments your coloring. Color can also play tricks on the eye. For example something lighter on top and darker on the bottom will make you seem taller. Your body will look longer.

Do not overlook shape wear. These are underthings that helps your shape. You will look instantly thinner just by putting it on. Plan on wearing this on your big day and when you shop. Leaving your shape wear at home when you shop could result in a dress that does not fit right.

You now have some great tips on how to look for plus size prom dresses. Take this information and head out shopping. Take along a friend or friendly member when you shop. This will give you someone to bounce ideas off and someone who will give you an honest opinion. Find something that you feel comfortable and confident in. If you feel great in the dress, you will look great in it.
