Plus Size Junior Apparel

The first step in finding plus size junior apparel is to determine your body shape. Read through each description below, and decide which fits you best. It may be helpful to put on a bathing suit and look in a mirror to compare each description with your body.

Please keep in mind that there is no such thing as a "perfect" body. Regardless of what your body shape is, you can look great in the right clothes or bad in the wrong ones.

Also remember that these are merely guidelines to assist you in finding clothing that makes you look and feel your best. They are by no means strict rules that must be followed. If you find something that you feel beautiful in but doesn't fit any of the "rules", then by all means wear it!

You are an hourglass body shape if:
1) You have an overall curvy figure.
2) You have a defined waistline.
3) Your hips and shoulders are the same width.
4) Your lower legs are slim and shapely.
5) You have full thighs and rear.
6) You have a large bust.

Apparel that works best for hourglass shapes:
1) Choose deep U or loose V necks to show off your bust. Open collars or high-collar knits will also work to enhance your positive features.
2) Consider flat-front, side zip, and pocket less pants to minimize your hips and bottom. Softly flared pants are also a good choice for hourglass gals.
3) Belts are a necessary item in every hourglass wardrobe! They are perfect for emphasizing your naturally slimmer waist and showing how sexy your curves are.
4) Try wearing something dark on the bottom, something lighter on top, and a belt that matches your pants or skirt. This will highlight your waist without drawing too much attention to your curvier hips.
5) Stick to vertical patterns and prints that aren't too busy in order to elongate your silhouette. Your figure also handles prints better on the bottom.
6) Bias-cut dresses and softly belted shirt dresses will gently compliment your figure. Wrap style tops and dresses also work well for the hourglass shape.
7) Fluted, ¾ length, and puff sleeves are best for slimming your arms.
8) Look for jackets that are slightly fitted or have princess seams to compliment your figure. Boxy, tailored jackets can be worn, however, they should hit at the waist. Longer, boxy tops can make an hourglass figure look wider. Instead, accentuate your waist with wide belts and garments that cinch in at the waist.
9) Avoid stiff, heavy, or bulky fabrics. Choose lighter, draping fabrics to cuddle your curves. And don't forget that light weight velvet is a great evening wear fabric for your figure type.

You are a triangle body shape if:
1) Your hips thighs and rear are wider than your shoulders and bust.
2) You have a defined waist.
3) You have average to large legs.
4) You have a slender face.
5) You have relatively slim arms.
6) You have a shapely bust.

Flattering apparel for triangle shapes:
1) Wearing wide necklines and even shoulder pads when appropriate will help to visually broaden your upper torso and better balance your figure.
2) Keep pants and skirts in solid colors and use patterns playfully to draw attention upward. Also, avoid bulky fabrics - they make you look bigger.
3) Wear lighter colors on the top and darker colors on the bottom to slenderize those hips and draw attention upward. Likewise, try choosing dark stockings in solid colors when sporting a dress or skirt.
4) Choose V-necks and vertical patterns to lengthen the lines of your silhouette.
5) Short necklaces and long earrings are great for drawing attention to your face and bust.
6) Avoid wide skirts! Instead, stick with straight or A-line skirts that hug your curves and keep your stems looking slender.
7) Try wearing tops and dresses that squeeze you in the right spot. Empire waist lines are in style this season so make sure they are in your closet too.
8) A funky belt will not only spice up your wardrobe, it will compliment your curves as well. For triangle figures, belts look best buckled in the middle of the torso.

You are an inverted triangle shape if:
1) Your upper body is wider than your lower body.
2) You have a full bust, waist and upper back.
3) You are less full in the hips and have a flat rear.
4) You have a pronounced tummy and midriff
5) You have slim arms and legs.

Flattering apparel for inverted triangle shapes:
1) Wear lighter colors on the bottom and darker colors on top to visually balance your figure.
2) Wear separates instead of a dress to balance disproportionate weight.
3) Soft U necklines, tailored shirts and V neck wrap tops are a great way to slenderize your upper half.
4) To slim your shoulders, try Raglan tops, shirts with shoulder slits, or soft collarless tunics.
5) Stick to simple and vertical patterns on the top to slim your silhouette.
6) Knee length skirts with contoured waistbands will look great on you, as will full circle and pleated skirts. Avoid pencil skirts if you are on the busty side, as they will make you look more top heavy.
7) The best part of being an inverted triangle is that your pants options are endless! Any style will work for you and you will look better in boot cuts than everyone else.
8) You can wear jackets of any length as long as they are fitted at the waist. Avoid bulky necklaces.
9) A funky belt will not only spice up your wardrobe, it will compliment your curves as well. For inverted triangle figures, belts look best buckled at the waistline.
