You are a full-figured woman with curves and a desire to wear a bridesmaid dress that flatters. You wonder what cuts and designs are flattering to your body. Here are some tips to help you purchase a beautiful and flattering look.
First, if the bride isn't aware, tell her not all bridesmaids have identical figures and can wear the same style dress.
Full figured women types
When a woman is full-figured she normally has a body shape of three types:
• Hourglass figure where her hips and shoulders are approximately the same size
• Pear-shaped figure where her weight is carried in her hips and thighs
• Rounded figure where her weight is carried in the middle of her body
No matter the body shape, certain fashion accents or styles will be unflattering to a full-figured woman. Wearing horizontally designed dresses will draw unwanted attention to the widest area of a woman's body. Clingy and tightly fitted dresses will draw attention to every bulge and bump on a plus-sized woman.
• Empire-styled that draws attention upward from the smallest part of the waist
• A-line that is fitted at the bodice and flows outward
• Pleated or gathered in a diagonal crisscross across the waist
These waistlines create a flattering look for plus-sized bridesmaids.
Busty women should seek dresses that:
• Accommodate supportive undergarments
• Fit correctly to avoid bulges and a squeezed-in look
• Contain wider straps to hide undergarment straps
• Use round, sweetheart or v-necked styled necklines
• Provide a soft feminine look
Flattering sleeves are:
Arms on plus-sized women require a becoming look.
• the 3/4 sleeve
• the floaty sleeve
• petal sleeves with slits
• the elbow sleeve
• sleeves reminiscent of kimono-type dress
