Fashion Article: Flattering Fashions – Tips For a Complete Wardrobe

Finding flattering clothing in plus sizes can be a challenge. Fortunately many clothing lines are starting to make more fashionable clothing available in sizes other than zero. But, even with more options available, it can still be difficult to feel like you have a complete wardrobe to choose from. However, with a few tricks, you can cover the basics which will give you more style choices, no matter what your style is.

Shopping For Clothing

One of the major mistakes that curvier women make when they shop for clothes is that they buy in to the whole “hide your body” logic that is pushed on them, usually from a young age. Because of this, they tend to buy larger sizes than they should or choose styles and cuts that look baggy on them. This is a mistake, as it just adds bulk to your figure and makes you look frumpy – definitely not what you want.

Clothing that hugs your curves in just the right places is much more flattering than wearing a tent, hands down. You may feel awkward if you are used to hiding under very loose fitting clothing, but you may be surprised that there are many cuts that can be both stylishly curve-hugging and loose and comfortable at the same time. The trick is to find the right cut. A good tailor can help you to take-in clothing just where it is needed.

Colors

It’s true – darker colors are more slimming. This is why it is often advisable to choose darker toned clothing. Also solid colors are much more slimming than busy patterns. Wearing the same colored top and bottoms can also help to lengthen your figure and draw attention upwards.

It is important to remember, however, that even though darker colors are usually a staple in many women’s closets, adding pops of bright color here and there can really work to draw attention to your best features. A brightly colored detail on a dark colored dress can really be dramatic. Or a if you are wearing mainly dark colors, add some life with a colorful scarf draped low to create a more vertical line.

Undergarments

This is an area where most women skimp because it’s hidden, and thus not that important. However, good base garments can do wonders for the way your clothes look on your. Slimming undergarments can help you smooth out your curves for a sleeker silhouette, and even just wearing a camisole under your shirt can help the fabric of the shirt, or dress, to hug your body smoothly.

Fabric

Choose fabric that is soft and flowy. Any fabric that is thick or stiff will just wrinkle and bulge when you move, causing you to look bulkier. But softer fabrics move with your body, and can make you look graceful and feminine when you walk. Plus – they are much more comfortable.

Attitude

One thing that I find is missing from too many women’s wardrobes is the right attitude. A confident woman can wear a garbage bag and make it look like the hottest thing that ever hit the red carpet. Own what you wear, and don’t be afraid to be your stylish self. Be creative with your look and don’t be afraid to break rules if you think something will look great. Remember that how you feel in your clothes is what is important.

Plus Size Review: Sexycostumes.com Halloween Costumes

Sexycostumes.com was kind enough to send me a free Halloween outfit and a pair of costume saddle shoes for review. Sexycostumes.com has a great line of plus size costumes with a sexy style, including vampire, nurse, referee, Snow White, 60′s style, saloon girl, Robin Hood, honey bee, Queen Of Hearts, superhero Supergirl, and more.

I ordered the plus size costume Plus Size Black Velvet Flapper Dress (Priced at $49.99). The style is a 20′s flapper dress made of black velvet. The flapper costume is very pretty, with fringe and sequins that dress it up to create an authentic flapper look. The plus size velvet dress comes complete with a Sequined Headpiece w/ Feather Choker. Sexycostumes.com has a number of accessories you can pair with your costume, including wigs and shoes.

I received the package via FedEx, it was securely packaged and arrived in good condition. The quality of the costume was excellent, the velvet fabric was soft and substantial for a Halloween costume and the color was as shown in the product photo and the headpiece and feather choker also matched the photo.

The flapper dress features a silver and black sequin choker with matching headpiece with an attached feather. The dress is outlined with a black sequin trim and there is black fringe that hangs from the sleeves and bottom of the dress, making a flirty swing whenever you move. There are black and silver sequins lining the waist of the dress. A spandex leotard is also built in for added control.

Costumes are different sizing wise than traditional clothing you would find in the mall, you need to take this into consideration when purchasing a costume in general. I ordered my normal size and the sizing chart showed for the size I ordered proportions larger than what I typically wore. Upon trying the flapper dress on I found it was smaller than expected. The main fitting problem seemed to be the body length of the leotard which could have been longer, thinking it over now perhaps I should have ordered up a size larger.

The Black Plus Size Velvet Flapper Dress costume is available in sizes 1X to 4X for plus size women. You should check over the sizing chart that comes with every product costume page on the site, you may want to consider ordering up a size if you are close to the sizing shown in the chart, Sexycostumes.com suggests adding 3 to 4 inches in size beyond what you normally order in clothes for optimum movement in your costume.

Sexycostumes.com also sent me a pair of black and white saddle shoes (Priced at $19.99). Perfect to use for a 50′s look, they would be ideal paired with a 50′s style poodle skirt for Halloween. I ordered a size 8 shoe and was aware the length in inches of shoe size shown on the product page might be a little smaller than what I would normally wear. These saddle shoes are made in Italy and are quality made, they look great with the two toned colors which matches the product photo, and the shoes have a sturdy thick shoe sole as well. The saddle shoes are narrow to medium width so this is something to keep in mind when ordering. The size large/size 8 saddle shoe was an inch or more shorter than my foot length. In the case of these saddle shoes check the size chart and you might want to consider ordering up a size for the shoes which may be helpful.

You can count on excellent quality costumes from Sexycostumes.com, I was impressed with their costume, it’s overall design and their costume shoes. I think any plus size outfit you purchase here would be flattering and a good choice for your Halloween event. Visit http://www.sexycostumes.com now to get a close up look at their line of plus size Halloween costumes.

Celebrity Fashion Article: Adele Looks for Less

[dress: forever 21: [1]polka dot matelesse dress: $22.80] [shoes: asos: [2]peaches suede platform court shoe: $34.48] [clutch: handbag heaven: [3]cecily lace clutch: $33.95] [sunnies: sunglass warehouse: [4]retro style: $14.95] [earrings: asos: [5]vintage diamante earring with large cream pearl: $17.24]

Adele’s soulful (and grammy winning) voice has garnered quite the buzz for the past year. With chart-climbing songs like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Rumor Has It,” her intense and personal lyrics have resonated well with audiences – as has her unique fashion sense. Although the Brit is only 21 years young, she’s become known for her signature retro style. Black winged liner and a modified bee-hive hairdo puts her right back into the 60s. Full figured and stunningly gorgeous, she’s been compared to Christina Hendrick’s character on Mad Men, Joan Holloway. She has pioneered a new breed of beauty with her curvy shape and her classy and timeless style.

Adele tends to favor the color black which is always in fashion, and maybe a tad moody – keeping with her soulful songs, of course. She also sticks with patterns and garment cuts that are simple, yet flattering. The black dress selected in the “look for less” brings a hint of textural interest with the polka dot pattern. The polka dots also keep with the sixties vibe, but the metallic fabric of the pattern makes the dress slightly modern. Pair it with plain black pumps, classic [6]cateye sunglasses, a [7]feminine ruffle clutch, and some statement earrings and you’ll get all the right kind of attention. Simple, elegant, and timeless. You just can’t go wrong with Adele’s style!

Not sure what classifies things as retro? I’ll share some insight. While retro generally refers to things that are aged or outdated, it specifically refers to the 1960s. In the postwar period, women’s beauty routines often included the beehive hairdo, heavily lined eyelids, and red lipstick. The full skirt of the 50s was still being worn by some, but the “tent” style dress and pencil skirt were gaining attention. Mod styles are included in this retro category, as are cat eye sunglasses and eyeglasses. Marilyn Monroe, known for her sultry looks and full figured shape, was exceedingly popular during this time period and her curvy shape made waves through Hollywood.
