Clubbing Couture - Skinny Gal Eye for the Plus Size Gal

by Abi Cooper on Dec 3, 2009 03:16

Truth be told, not everyone can fit into a size 0. While I was clubbing in DC last week, I noticed that many of our plus-sized ladies were skankily dressed. Let's squash that popular myth that big girls can't get dressed to kill, shall we? Here are a few tried & tested fashion tips for today's plus-size woman:

Undergarments are important for giving good shape. Investing in skintight innerwear will provide your body with a much needed streamlined base for your outerwear.
If possible don't wear flowing capricious fabrics. Various colors, materials, layers and patterns can make you look heavier and stocky. Complementary colors are dark grey, deep silver, wine, plum, jade, russet, midnight blue, cocoa & cranberry.
Avoid clingy outerwear. Tight is not right! Don't wear smaller-sized garments. Choose good quality fabric that hangs elegantly.
Ideal length for short, plump ladies to get a slim look is above or just on the knees, while tall women should wear longer hemlines.

Tapered trousers are chic but can make the hips look big and legs short and stumpy. Wear boot cut style trousers to render leg length.
Stilettos lengthen the look of legs.
Lengthy straight skirts/dresses elongate the body which in return will have you appear slimmer
Vertical stripes are a good choice for short, stout women.
Sport dresses or tops with empire waist for the longer look.
Low necked dresses and long jewelry chains/necklaces help lengthen the look of the neck
Avoid chokers and polo neck sweaters. This will give you the hunched look.

The big girls can definitely steal the limelight on any given night out in the club. Following these hot tips will provide you with the feel-good factor you need to achieve the desired look. You’ll be paving the way for the rest of us. As always, have fun stepping out confidently!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it! He and my mother were comfortably middle class, and they had some savings and owned their house.

This is my first visit to your blog. We are starting a brand new initiative in the same category as this blog. Your blog provided us with important information to work with. You have done a great job. Babies start eating cereal between four and six months.

There's a wealth of information here. Thanks! I’ll be back for more. Even for a lawyer, looking close to retirement age can make people want to walk on.

It's always nice when you can not only be informed, but also entertained! I'm sure you had joy writing this article. If you know the particular book you are after, see if you can track down an expert in this field.

I was looking for crucial information on this subject. The information was important as I am about to launch my own portal. Thanks for providing a missing link in my business. The worst part is that these diversions are bed-time intrusions, and the screens are right there in the bedroom.
