You’ve got the perfect date, and you’re ready to begin browsing for plus size prom dresses. But where to begin in a world that seems to cater to less-womanly figures? Plus size prom dresses can be difficult to find, particularly in department stores, where junior sizes are limited. Most specialty boutiques carry designer dresses cut to fit the women who model them. These types of boutiques present a problem for many of us, as we’re living in a country where the average woman is 5’4” and a size 14. You may be skeptical about looking for plus size prom dresses online, but the Web can be one of your best resources. There are many unique Web sites which specialize in glamorous gowns size 14-44. The selection is amazing, incorporating a wide variety of the season’s hottest trends and shades. Even better, many dream dresses are available now, ready-to-ship and arrive on your doorstep within just a few days! If you’re still not convinced, you may choose to order your gown from a formal wear specialty store. Many premier designers include plus size prom dresses in their collections. You might consider Faviana, whose plus collection boasts a range of beautiful gowns, available up to size 24, most of which are available for less than $200. Fabulous designers such as Alyce, Night Moves, and Aurora offer up to a size 32, and the lines of Alfred Angelo, Nadine, Mauri Simone, Landa Designs, Mike Benet, and La Gala all include sizes ranging into the high 20s. With all the terrific options available, it’s time to begin your search—the dress of your dreams awaits you! Not sure what style to choose? As a rule of thumb, don’t let the sizing guides burst your bubble – prom dresses typically run at least two sizes small. The best advice when browsing plus size prom dresses is to make a selection based on what you feel most comfortable in, in a style that flatters your assets. For instance, if your body is pear-shaped, create your own fairy tale and try one of the full ball gowns that are so popular this prom season. Not into floor-length dressing? No problem. Go with an elegant, tea-length sheath that shows off your waistline. If your figure is apple-shaped (you have a fuller waistline and bust, with slimmer hips and legs), try a cocktail dress with an A-line skirt to define your waist and show off those legs! Avoid anything too form fitting, as it could give a top-heavy illusion. And, don’t be afraid to show some sexy skin—if you’ve got great arms, try a slimming, black sleeveless number and dress it up with pearls or a rhinestone brooch for that glamorous, Hollywood starlet look. If you don’t find something right away, don’t be discouraged—many designers include plus size prom dresses in their collections that are suited for a variety of different body types. When it comes to the prom, shopping for a dress can be a daunting task for anyone. But with all the plus size prom dresses available today, you won’t find it very difficult to choose one that not only flatters your figure, but also bedazzles your date! |
