Are you struggling to find plus size dresses?

Times have changed and now more than ever you can easily find plus size women dresses. The most important thing is to know how to choose a dress that you will love.

Colors

You should not settle for dull colors just because you are a large woman. To turn some heads, make sure you choose richly hued colors like cobalt blue, purple, silver, gold, lavender, sage, burgundy and red. Having a plus size maxi dress in such colors will draw attention to the dress and not to your body parts. It will also make you appear slender. If you put on a white or a very dull odd color then your body parts are reflected more to the public.

The sleeves.

If you are looking for a plus size formal dress then get a dress with 3/4 length sleeves. They will hide the upper arm bump and make the arms look long and slender.
