Plus Size Prom Dresses

Measure yourself carefully whilst wearing a well fitting bra. Take a look at your body in the mirror. Think about what body shape you have, and also what colors will complement your skin tone.

Always choose a size dress that fits your largest body measurement, the dress can then be altered and taken in to fit your figure perfectly.

PlusSizeBridal.com has some gorgeous plus size prom dresses as shown in the picture on the right.

A-line or princess silhouette prom dresses will suit you best. This is because the skirt of the dress gradually flares out from your waistline, creating the illusion of a smaller waist in relation to your hips.

The fabulous fifties inspied dress on the right is from Loralie and is available in up to a Size 26. Go take a look at their fabulous Plus Size Prom Dresses


Emphasize your waist with this dress.

And this one is gorgeous and comes with a matching shawl.

This dress is very similar to the dress I wore to a Christmas Ball last year.




Silver Princess Ball Gown


Here are some other dresses which will emphasize your waist.




Be Jeweled Dress

The perfect party dress in Donna Ricco's Signature stretch satin! A sleeveless silhouette with an alluring wrap front and V-back, hits all your curves perfectly! Stretch satin sleeveless wrap front dress. Add a wrap or shrug for starlet style. Avaiable in up to Size 24.




Perfect Silhouette Dress

Charming clean and classic A-Line dress with matching color satin waistband. Spaghetti straps. Back zip closure. Sizes 14-34.




Sheer Delight Party Dress Extended Sizes

Wear this perfect party dress embellished in satin with decorative netting overlay. Optional spaghetti straps. Tea length. Skirt embellished with ribbon and beading. Matching shawl included.

This is easy to fix. Use an elegant wrap to cover the tops of your arms, ideal if you are self concious about exposing too much flesh. If the wrap is long enough you can drape it over your shoulders, loop it under your arms and tie it at the back. You could even pin it in place with a brooch. Bolero jackets or shrugs are also perfect, and add a touch of elegance.
Try the beautiful dress on the right. It is available in Fuschia and Emerald and the velvet shrug is included. Wearing this you will certainly make a dramatic entrance. Igigi has a number of dresses that have long sleeves, take a look at their cute shrugs and cover ups too. So glamorous!

Although this dress does not totally cover your arms, it does not leave your arms bare, and is easier to wear and dance in, rather than trying to keep a shawl or wrap on your shoulders.



Enchantress Dress

It has metallic shimmer and is available in Red/Gold, Navy/Silver, Lilac/Silver.




Odyssey Cocktail Dress Extended Sizes

Dress up in comfort and confidence wearing this Empire waist party dress. Romantic black lace over turquoise satin. Adjustable straps. Tea length. Matching lace shrug with front hook included.




Fantasy Princess Dress

A beautiful ball gown with a box neck line, matching back and circular puffy skirt. A darling princess is what you will be in this ballroom wonder. It will fill the room with crystal glitter and shine. Sizes 14-34.

The main thing to think about here is good support, be sure to get fitted with a bra that is the correct size. There is plenty of sexy plus size lingerie available that will also give you support. You should wear a dress that will cover bra straps, and will hold your upper body firmly.

Avoid flouncy frilly styles which will only accentuate the size of your boobs! A halter neck style is particularly flattering for larger busts and a sleeveless dress with a close fitting bodice will minimize your bust size.

If you need to wear a bra then choose a dress that has bra friendly straps.

Paradise Gown

Boxcut neckline, square back, poufy tulle and crystal skirt. Satin crepe, and crystal tulle. Dry clean only. Available in sizes 14-34.




Box Neck Sleeveless Dress

Black and White Split-Front Gown

This dress whilst glamorous is also perfect for hiding bra straps.



Black Beaded Grecian Goddess Dress

Olympian elegance sparkles with a detail of small crystal beads at the ruched empire bust. 2-layer skirt with flyaway front on outer skirt. V-neck and deep V-back.

Choose a dress that is all one colour, or has a main color running down the front of the dress. This will help to elongate your body. Avoid 2 piece dresses like those that have a separate corset and skirt, these will cut your body in two and make you appear shorter. Again halter necks are flattering, as are sweetheart necklines, these will draw attention to your upper body. You may prefer to wear a shorter dress or cocktail dress similar to the one shown on the right which is from Sydney's Closet

Here is another cute short dress which would look fabulous with red or silver pumps and accessories.



Black and White Mesh Rosette Dress

This dress has a pretty sweetheart neckline and panelled block color to elongate your figure.



Cream And Black Sequined Goddess Dress


The following dress from Sydney's Closet will also flatter your figure if you are short and curvy.

Alluring

Of course you can, just avoid skin tight dresses and plunging necklines. Remember elegance is the key. The dress on the right is the perfect example. You can find it at Igigi.com
If you have toned upper arms, show off your shoulders with a strapless dress, great if you have a cheeky tattoo you want to show off. Let everyone have a glimpse of your lovely legs by choosing a dress with a hemline that is higher at the front than at the back, or has a handkerchief hem. Rhumba and dresses with ruffle trim are really on trend this year and add a flirtatious accent to a formal dress. Halter neck dresses are great for showing off beautiful backs, and will enhance your cleavage too.

Think about colors too, red has a real wow factor, but so do jewel colors like purple or turquoise, especially in silky satin fabrics. It's not just about the style of dress but how you wear it, what accessories you add, and most importantly your attitude.

These dresses are perfect for showing off lovely legs and shapely shoulders.
