There’s more to plus-size fashion than dated florals that look like your grandma’s curtains, awkward shoulder cut-outs, and shapeless sacks. Us curvy girls deserve to look good, too, without having to hide our shape. At EGO, we believe you should wear your clothes, not the other way around – we want you to embrace your curves, girl, not hide them away. As a wise woman once said: ‘Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top’!
So with the launch of our new stylish plus size clothing range, we compiled a list of the most flattering dress styles for plus size babes.
A-line dresses
One of the most universally flattering dress types is – drum roll please – the A-line dress! And on plus-sized bodies, there’s no exception. With its form-fitting torso and flared-out waist, it gives the illusion of that hourglass silhouette everybody loves. Whether you’re an apple-shape, pear-shape, or rectangle-shape plus size, this is one of the best dress styles for you! There are so many types of A-line dresses, from empire waist dresses to wrap dresses to even babydoll dresses for that coquette look; you’re bound to find something you love for any occasion.
Going out dresses
You’re going on a night out with your dolls, and you’re freaking out because you don’t know what to wear – don’t worry, we’ve all been there. But don’t despair! With EGO’s plus size going out dresses, you’ll find the ideal piece to look sexy and club-ready.
Everybody knows that club dresses mean tight-fitting minis, and that’s not just for the small girls; it applies to you too! Bodycon dresses are a stun-ning dress style for the plus size girlies; they’re figure-hugging and define your curves, giving you an oh-so-sexy silhouette. Have fun with different textures and colours – it doesn’t always have to be black – and get ready to turn heads! Pair our Plus Cowl Neck Mini Bodycon Dress In Bright Blue Plisse with some killer party heels and statement earrings, and you’re all set. Now head out to the dancefloor and shake what your mama gave you!
Shift and slip dresses
Not a fan of the hourglass look or clingy fabrics? No problem, doll. Your body, your choice. Reach for shift or slip dresses, another super flattering dress style for plus-sized babes. The fabric fits around the shoulders or bust and falls straight down, just skimming the body. These dresses are less restrictive and better to move around in – stylish, classy, and comfy, perfect for more formal events where you don’t want to draw too much attention to your body but still want to look good. Our Plus High Neck Lace Up Side Maxi Dress Im Sage Green Texture is calling your name! Add a pair of white heels and a bracelet, and don’t forget to put your hair up in a bun for a more sophisticated look.
Midi and maxi dresses
Want a dress that makes you taller? We do, too. We weren’t all blessed with mile-long legs. Enter midi and maxi dresses; they come in every style, colour and material under the sun and look amazing on everyone. Truly a staple dress to have, especially for our apple-shaped plus-sized dolls. These dresses fall mid-calf or past the ankle, and with a pair of heels, they give the illusion of longer legs, making you look taller. EGO’s newest plus size drop has a gorgeous range of long dresses. Try the Plus Halterneck Starfish Print Maxi Dress In Black Mesh or the Plus Halterneck Ruched Front Midi Dress In Cream Texture with some sexy stiletto heels for a runway-ready look.
Low cut dresses
Now that you know the best dress styles for plus sized babes, let’s talk necklines. Lower-cut dresses are incredibly flattering for everybody, especially when you’d rather draw attention up than down. Let the girls breathe! They’re tired of being stuck behind high necklines. Opt for v-neck, cowl neck, and halter necklines – they give you a tasteful decolletage and add some oomph to any outfit. You have it, so flaunt it!
Reach for longer dresses to balance it out, like our Plus Deep Plunge Halterneck Contrast Print Split Front Maxi Dress In Black Mesh and Plus Sleeveless Twist Cut Out Front Maxi Dress In Dark Red Slinky (or stick to the mini dresses if you’re feeling daring) and accessorise with a necklace if you don’t want to keep your chest bare.
