Choosing the Best Plus-Size Dress for Your Body Type [Lookbook]
Are you an A-line or an empire gal?
Do you look best in a corset dress or in an off-the-shoulder cut? Yes, you can look like a model, even if you’re not a size 2! Creating a flattering look that celebrates your style is all about knowing how certain silhouettes work with your individual body type. We break down 6 popular dress styles to help you decide:

Empire
An empire waist is gathered just beneath the bust, rather than at your natural waistline. This emphasizes your upper body and is a good choice for women with triangular, rectangular, or oval body types.
A-Line
An A-Line silhouette is triangular-shaped, with a fitted bodice that flares out from just below the bustline. It complements all body types; just be sure to choose a sturdy fabric that retains the contours of the dress.

Peplum
A peplum dress features a ruffle attached to the waistline of a formfitting silhouette. This makes the waist appear narrower than the shoulders and minimizes hips, creating the perfect style for rectangular or oval-shaped women.
Sheath
Sheath dresses don’t have a defined waistline. Instead, they fall straight from the shoulders. They’re a great option for women whose shoulders are wider than or equal to the circumference of their waist, such as rectangular and apple shapes.

A Few More
Fit & Flare dresses have a cut that enhances your waist and creates a proportionate and defined upper and lower body.
Off-the-shoulder dresses embody a casually chic style and balance the upper body.
Corset dresses hug most of the torso and cinch the waist. They are suitable for all body types.
