A good alternative would be a plus size evening cocktail dress in lightweight hammered silk and fully lined, perhaps with a horizontal folded bustline ties at empire waist, for a slimming effect. For a fitted form, a snap and hook-and-eye side closure can be added.
If one lady is busty or heavy on the top, she is not to wear anything that has a gathering at bust.
Even plus size evening designs stumble by assembling too much embellishments, or one big bow effect on the bust area. Plus size evening gowns are best with a boned bodice, perhaps a very sparse beadwork -- plain and simple.
A sophisticated plus size evening wardrobe would be a floor-length gown in luscious fabrics with vivid jewel tones, partial to the black, deep blues and reds. |
