The first step to consider is your goal. Many tips on plus size fashion are tailored towards strategies to make you look thinner. This approach is a mistake. Your goal should not be to buy and wear clothes that make you look thinner so much as it should be to wear outfits that give you a balanced appearance. Clothes that are too tight and uncomfortable should be pitched to the local charity of your choice. Yes, you can look good and be comfortable too.
What size are you? Who cares! Do not shop for your size. First off, different garments might not have a universal size. It is well known that bra sizes across brands do not match. Instead of dressing for size, dress for fit. You are going to look much better in a size 14 that fits versus a size 12 that is too tight. You can use size as a starting point, but don't be a slave to it. If clothes fit, then the size doesn't matter.
On the other end of the equation, don't try to hide your body by wearing clothes that are too big and baggy. Just as tight clothes look bad, so does this approach. Remember, we are looking for balance and proportion. Regardless of your size, a balanced outfit with a nice fit will always look good and it will have the added benefit of being comfortable. It goes without saying that a good tailor is well worth the expense.
What about color? An excellent strategy is to go with a dark, single color outfit. Although technically not a color, black is a good choice but should not be work continually. Regardless, color can then be used to spice up the outfit and draw attention to your strong areas. If you have a beautiful face, a scarf around the neck brings the eyes up to the face. Place color wherever you want eyes to focus and it should do the trick.
We all have bulges in areas that we rather we didn't. Is there any way to deal with these from a fashion perspective? Yes! Take a close look at body shapers. These devices have come a very long way and now can be used to smooth out rough areas on the legs, buttocks, hips and trunk. They can make a huge difference in your look and are a great way for dealing with unflattering bulges.
What about tops? Is there a particular top that looks good on full figure women? Absolutely! A top that has a "V" neck is the way to go. It draws attention up the chest and to the face. For plus size women, this is usually one of the staples of the wardrobe with the exception of women who have longer necks.
The plus size fashion world is full of exciting and beautiful designs. Get out there and shop till you drop!
