The desire to dress beautifully is in the blood of all women. And fullness in no case should discourage this desire. The fact that models of dresses for overweight women are gloomy and lack of style is a myth. A woman can be beautiful at any weight, the main thing is to be able to present herself correctly.
Completeness
It often happens that a woman herself perceives herself biased and goes to one of the extremes when choosing clothes. Either with just a couple of extra pounds, he starts wrapping himself in gloomy dimensionless hoodies, or with 30 extra pounds, he starts wearing short dresses that are a size smaller.
The second option often happens to those who have put on weight abruptly, for example, after pregnancy. It is psychologically difficult to accept your new figure, and all clothes are bought with the idea that there is no point in buying clothes in size if soon there will be a weight loss anyway, and they will not be useful. But you need to look adequate now, and you shouldn't do that.
There are certain tables by which you can understand what the actual size is. It is better to gladly put aside the dresses that have becomemore than being the butt of ridicule and cramming oneself into obviously small clothes. It looks pathetic and ridiculous and certainly not slimming. If there are doubts about whether there is completeness or not, then you can calculate your body index, knowing only your height and weight. According to this index, it will be reliably seen whether the weight is normal or there is obesity, and if so, what degree it is. It might just be worth asking loved ones if they notice fullness. But there is a risk that they are simply afraid to offend. Some people find it helpful to be able to see themselves on video.
If even after that there are problems with accepting a new body or with the realization that there is no completeness in principle, then they need to be worked out with a psychologist. Otherwise, it may interfere not only in the selection of clothes, but also in life.
Type of fullness
If fullness is really present, do not despair, losing weight is not so difficult if there is an incentive. There is another option - to accept yourself as you are, to buy a lot of beautiful dresses for the full and enjoy life. This option really has the right to exist. Not everyone is ready to go on diets, torturing themselves with restrictions in order to meet someone else's standards, and this is normal.
Selecting the right dress for obese women, you need to start by determining what type of fat gain occurs. As you know, it is distributed differently for everyone. 5 types were conventionally identified:
- "Apple" - the main concentration of fat in the waist, sometimes in the arms, but the legs with this type can remain slim for a long time.
- Hourglass - even with strong weight gain, the waist remains pronounced, and this is further emphasized by large breasts and wide hips.
- "Banana" - the so-called boyish body type, in which the waist and hips are not pronounced, fat is distributed on the hips and chest.
- "Pear" - the upper body is noticeably thinner than the lower one, a slender waist and graceful arms with very full hips.
- "Inverted triangle" - fat is concentrated in the upper body: anatomically broad shoulders, full arms, large breasts, plump cheeks, but the waist and legs are slender.
Someone names the types of figures in honor of fruits similar in shape, someone - in honor of geometric shapes, and someone - in honor of letters, but the essence of this does not change, the main types are always 5. each of them has its advantages and disadvantages, and the essence of the selection of clothes is to emphasize the first and hide the second.
Highlight the good and hide the bad
For each type of figure, there are always advantages and disadvantages.
For the owners of the "apple" figure, the problem areas are the waist and arms, but they are distinguished by the presence of slender legs, even with a rather strong fullness. They can afford to wear dresses that are knee-length and even longer. The main thing is to adjust the waistline. To do this, you can either emphasize it with a belt, or play on color contrast, highlighting it with a dark color. You can distract attention from the abdomen with either a deep neckline or a boat neckline.
Women with a banana body type have an advantage in slender arms and legs. But with the waist they always have problems. They will fit the same dresses as for an apple-shaped figure, with the only exception that they can afford to open their arms.
For the hourglass type, arms and legs are usually problematic, but they can and should freely demonstrate the waist and décolleté. But dresses that hide the waist, such as A-shaped, should be avoided. Otherwise, visually the waist will be equal to the chest and hips, and the advantage will be lost, and no one will know that the waist is thin.
Pear-shaped women tend to have thin arms, a slender waist and graceful collarbones. Their problem area is the hips and legs, and they need to be hidden. Year dresses will look chic on them, if height allows.
The inverted triangle type is considered the most unfortunate. He is the hardest to beat. Many famous beauties shine on the red carpet with this type of figure. Usually they have rather slender legs, but the upper part is massive. You need to balance the top and bottom. To do this, they need to visually increase the bottom with the help of lush and flowing fabrics or such a decorative element on dresses and skirts as peplum.
Colours
But the conventional wisdom that black dresses for obese women are visually slimmer is 100% justified. Not only black, but all dark colors are slimming. It is best to favor "rich" hues such as navy, gemstones, deep browns, andof course, the king of evening dresses - black.
Cut
The simpler it is, but the better, the better. An asymmetrical cut will draw extra attention to the outlines. In all its details, one must lean towards the golden mean. Especially in the fit, neckline and sleeve length. The right patterns of a classic cut will always slim.
Thin straps are unacceptable in dresses for the full and for the summer as well. First, they ugly cut into the skin. And secondly, obese women can rarely afford to wear a dress without underwear, and it will be visible through such straps. In the heat, you can wear a sundress, but the straps on it must be at least 10 cm wide.
There is an opinion that with fullness you need to wear dimensionless swing dresses. But in fact, they are more suitable for slender ones to hide the angularity and make the figure emphasized fragile. Such styles, on the contrary, make fat women even more fat.
Fabrics
What fabric the dress is made of also plays a role. Flowing materials will visually add kilograms. Even when it comes to choosing a dress for the full for the summer. Since the folds that form on them during movement can be mistaken for the folds of the body itself. An exception may be a model with elements of flowing materials in those areas that need to be hidden. For example, the waist and arms on a dress for overweight women with an apple-shaped figure. But only on condition that the basis of the thing is made of dense material with a bandage effect. Dress only made of guipure and lacealso does not fit completely. This option is possible, but if the dress has a pull-up silhouette, the body or underwear should not show through the lace pattern.
All dense fabrics give the figure composure, make it more accurate and toned. This is especially true when sewing dresses for full plus sizes.
The exception is velvet and velveteen, they visually add a few pounds. These fabrics, on the contrary, are best used by women who are too fragile to visually appear more feminine.
You need to be very, very careful with prints, as some of them can add at least 10 kilograms. For example, floral and animal prints are only acceptable for very slim women.
Therefore, with fullness, in order not to risk it, it is better to abandon prints altogether.
Decorative elements
Such decorative elements as rhinestones, sequins and glass beads are not the best option for evening dresses for full ones. But if you want a really festive outfit with sequins, then you can choose a dress that is made of a plain, but very shiny fabric.
But this option is only suitable for those who do not have a big belly.
Shoes
Shoes with heels stretch the silhouette, and this is an indisputable fact. Medium heel preferred. A thin hairpin on full legs looks caricatured, and a large one makes the whole figure more massive. If shoes are matched with evening dresses forfull, it is better that the heel is not lower than 10 cm. But if he alth does not allow, then you can replace it with a height of about 5 cm. And also high heels should be abandoned by those who cannot walk on them. The sharper the toe, the more graceful the leg will appear. It is better to refuse shoes with round and square toes full.
Another trick to make your legs slimmer is the color of the shoes to match the stockings, tights or body, if we are talking about a summer look. But with the proviso that if the tone of the shoes is dark, then the dress should be with sleeves no shorter than three-quarter length. Dark stockings and shoes combined with bare arms will make them visually fuller. For an evening look, it would be better if these were shoes, not ankle boots or boots.
Accessories
Fullness has an unpleasant feature, it can emphasize that the dress is from the budget segment. All the imperfections of the cut, the cheapness of the material and the low-grade fittings will be emphasized. And the best advice would be to purchase dresses from worthy brands. But if finances do not allow you to purchase such an outfit for every outing, then buying one or two basic, simple, but high-quality dresses may be an option. And in the future, they can already be beaten with various accessories, thereby changing the image beyond recognition. A trendy dress will make a splash, but will be well remembered by everyone.
Since it’s not so easy to find beautiful dresses for overweight ones that wear a size larger than 52, then with this size it makes sense to invest once and order clothes from a profession altailor.
Accessories should not be too large, but not too small. Large ones make any figure visually more massive, and small ones enlarge it. Medium, not too frilly, will look perfect. In details, it is better to avoid angular shapes, oval, soft lines will stretch the silhouette.
Translucent gauze scarves can become a real find for a dress for a celebration for overweight women. If you throw them carelessly over your arms or shoulders, you can hide full arms and forearms. Matching medium thickness leather straps to a bag or shoes will help emphasize the waist for women with apple, hourglass and inverted triangle body types. But bracelets and watches visually "cut" the hand, making it fuller, it is better to refuse them.
Length
Often, obese women try to buy a dress that is longer, and often even to the floor. Since there is an opinion that long dresses for overweight people help them hide excess weight under the fabric. A dress on the floor, no doubt, looks advantageous and solemn, but not in all cases it is slimming. And women with a height of at least 170 cm, who have a not too massive upper part, can afford such a length. A year-round dress, popular among evening dresses, is appropriate only if the lady has a thin waist and incomplete arms relative to her entire body. That is, if the type of figure is “pear” or “banana”. Owners of the figure "apple" and short stature will look unprofitable in any long dresses.
For full length midi is also insidious, it visually shortens the legs. But if they are prettylong, then you can choose a dress of this length, because it will look very elegant.
The most win-win option would be either a knee-length dress, or a little higher if the legs are in good shape. To make your legs look toned, you just need to give preference to tights and stockings with a pull-up effect.
Geometric lines and shapes
It is dangerous and risky to use them as a print on models of dresses for obese women. But if you use the geometric guide lines correctly, they can “draw” the waist where it is not very pronounced, and generally stretch the silhouette. They should be simple and positioned correctly, and each shape can have its own directions.
But they can also be a disaster. Longitudinal lines visually flatten the silhouette. Large geometric shapes will make it shapeless, depriving all feminine curves. Therefore, if there is no certainty that there is a correct vision of geometric lines, then it is better not to play with this technique, otherwise you can achieve the opposite effect.
Hairstyle
It would be useful to mention her in the topic of dresses. After all, she is a full-fledged element of the image and can ruin the most suitable dress.
It used to be that short haircuts were best suited for full bodies, and there was no question of any long hair in their case. But in fact, this only applies to unkempt long hair without volume, they make the face fuller, and the image is cheaper. Yes, and harmony disappears in the whole figure, the head seems smaller than the body.
You can wear long hair full, most importantly, do not forget to give them volume. Initially, the correct cascading haircut will help with this. But it’s better to keep the length shoulder-length or higher, as it’s easier to lay them in bulk. A properly done asymmetrical haircut can also make the face slimmer and add volume to the hair. But not every master can do this. Well, another secret on how to make hair more voluminous is highlighting, ombre and other multi-layer coloring.
Comfort
Last but not least, clothes should be comfortable, and these are not just words. If you pay attention to a woman in chic high-heeled shoes, in a short dress from a famous designer, but who is uncomfortable or feels out of place, will she look attractive? No, she will look exhausted, irritable, and subconsciously push people away.
There are things that, at first glance, are not visible to others, but radically change the whole appearance. And this is love for your body and the convenience of clothes, as well as beautiful and comfortable underwear. Many men are not at all concerned about the parameters of a woman, they are attracted to her by the energy of confidence in her undeniable attractiveness. And in fact, what weight, age and income this woman has does not play a major role in this.
