Plus-size dresses for women are the perfect everyday staples. You can keep your closet casual with jersey staples or add an elegant touch with woven designs.
A peplum dress is a great choice for plus-size women looking to create a curvy hourglass figure. The ruffle wraps around your waistline and flares out for a few inches, which makes your waist look smaller than your shoulders and hips.
A-line dresses
A-line dresses are ideal for plus size women with heavier tops than bottoms. They accentuate the upper body and draw attention away from the tummy. These flattering dress styles are available in solid and floral designs, and can range from short tunics to breezy and flower-printed dresses that touch the floor. A-line dresses for plus size are also great for women who have apple, rectangle or triangle body shapes.
Flattering dress options for plus size women include peplum styles that wrap around the waistline. This helps create a curvy hourglass figure and balances women with narrow shoulders and hips.

Straight dresses
Plus-size women can create a stunning wardrobe with flattering dresses. There are many styles that suit different shapes and curves, from demure boat necks to plunging V’s that enhance your collar bone. You can even add a little drama to your outfit with a dress that features a hi-lo or asymmetrical hemline.
Generally, any curvy plus size dress will look fabulous on hourglass body shapes. These types of dresses will highlight and compliment every curve while drawing attention away from the stomach and thighs. On the other hand, pear body shapes typically have wide measurements around the waist and hips and a smaller upper body frame. Any curve-creating style will look great on pear shapes.
The key to flattering your figure with any type of dress is picking the right color and silhouette to accentuate your best features. Dark colors, like black, are excellent for downplaying areas of the body that you may want to hide. Lighter colors, like white and pastels, are excellent for highlighting your curves.
