If you consider your self a curvaceous bombshell, and want to laugh out load at some of the ridiculous teeny tiny fancy dress costumes on the market today then you will be surprised to hear that now retailers sell Plus Size Fancy Dress costumes suitable for your sexy curses and real woman body. You now have no excuse avoiding the Fancy dress or Halloween parties that come your way this year. There is no need to worry that the costumes available are merely potato sacks cause fashion has come along way over the years and the fashion world is finally starting to figure out that not every girl is a tooth pick. The plus size costumes available range from sexy to conservative, and you just need to know where to look to get the right plus size costume to suit your size and style.
If you are considering hiring your Plus Size costume it would be safe to call before hand to see if they actually stock plus size costumes as allot of Hire Stores only stock Standard sizes which are exactly that and would not fit a plus size bombshell.
Buying on the Internet would be the best option as many retailers will stock many different types and styles of Plus Size Fancy dress costumes. Make sure though that you start researching well ahead of the party so that you can order and get your costume to you on time. Some retailers will state if there is a waiting time on the availability of the costume so bear that in mind also. Any good online retailers will also have accurate sizing charts so that you can measure and compare before buying. Another good thing to consider when buying online is to check what the companies return or exchange policy is just in case the costume does not fit and you to exchange for a bigger or smaller size.
When shopping for Plus Size you also need to consider the common Fashion rules to make you look Taller and slimmer.
- Choose items which skim over areas you want to disguise - if you are self conscious about your legs don't go and purchase a short dress, or if you don't like your arms try and avoid halter neck tops or shoe string straps
- Highlight your good bits - if you have a few parts of your body which you like to draw attention to look for costumes that will show off these parts. If you have good legs go for a short dress.
- Try to avoid clingy fabric - Avoid fabric that will cling to your body and draw attention to the bits you are trying to hide.
- Avoid Horizontal stripes, use vertical stripes - Horizontal stripes draw eye line across the body making it appear larger. Vertical stripes draw the eyes down the body making you look thinner.
- Darker colors - Darker clothes can make you look and feel thinner, but don't go over board and look like you have stepped straight from a Gothic club. You can colour up your Costume with accessories.
- Find the Right Size - Many people either hide under layers of clothes to hide their body, or wear clothes that are too tight because they are in denial they have put on a few kilo’s. Tight clothes will show everything bad about your body that you don't want others to see, and baggy clothing just makes you look look like you are trying to hide kilo’s that just are not there.
- High heeled shoes - High Heeled shoes add height and make you look taller. By making you look taller this means you look longer and generally thinner.
- Don't Look too busy - Avoid to much pattern and color as it can draw attention to size
Just remember that whether you are shopping for clothes or your next Fancy Dress Costume that clothing should be fun as well as making you feel and look good. Today's society is so hung up about size at the moment that we actually forget to have fun. Just remember that you are beautiful no matter what your size and enjoy wearing clothing rather than letting them wear you.
