The desire to dress beautifully in all women in the blood. And completeness in no case should repel this desire. The fact that models of dresses for obese women are distinguished by gloom and lack of style is a myth. A woman can be beautiful in any weight, the main thing is to be able to properly feed herself.
Degree of completeness
It often happens that a woman perceives herself biased and when choosing clothes goes to one of the extremes. Either if there are only a couple of extra kilograms, she begins to wrap herself in gloomy, dimensionless hoodies, or if there are 30 extra kilograms, she begins to wear short dresses one size smaller.
The second option often happens with those who have plumped sharply, for example, after pregnancy. It is psychologically difficult to accept your new figure, and all clothes are bought with the thought that there is no need to buy clothes in size if weight loss happens anyway soon and it does not come in handy. But you need to look adequately now, and you should not do so.
There are certain tables by which you can understand what the actual size is. It is better to happily put aside dresses that are large than to become the object of ridicule and squeeze yourself into obviously small clothes. It looks pitiful and ridiculous and certainly does not slim. If there are doubts about whether there is fullness or not, then you can calculate your body index, knowing only your height and weight. According to this index, it will be reliably seen whether the weight is normal or is obesity, and if so, to what extent. Perhaps itās just worth asking your loved ones if they notice fullness. But there is a risk that they are simply afraid to offend. Someone helps the opportunity to see themselves on video.
If even after this there will remain problems with the adoption of a new body or with the realization that there is no completeness in principle, then they need to be worked out with a psychologist. Otherwise, it may interfere not only in the selection of clothes, but also in life.
Type of completeness
If the fullness is really present, do not despair, losing weight is not so difficult if there is an incentive. There is another option - to accept yourself as you are, to purchase many beautiful dresses for full ones and enjoy life. This option really has a right to exist. Not everyone is ready to go on a diet, torture themselves with restrictions in order to meet someoneās standards, and this is normal.
The selection of a suitable dress for overweight women should begin with the determination of the type of fat gain. As you know, it is distributed in all different ways. 5 types were conditionally allocated:
- "Apple" is the main concentration of fat in the waist, sometimes in the hands, but legs with this type can remain slim for a long time.
- Hourglass - even with a strong weight gain, the waist remains pronounced, and this is further emphasized by large breasts and wide hips.
- āBananaā - the so-called boyish type of figure, in which the waist and hips are not pronounced, fat is distributed on the hips and chest.
- "Pear" - the upper body is noticeably thinner than the lower, slender waist and graceful hands with very full hips.
- āInverted Triangleā - fat is concentrated in the upper body: anatomically broad shoulders, full arms, large breasts, puffy cheeks, but the waist and legs are slender.
Someone names the types of shapes in honor of fruits that are similar in shape, some in honor of geometric shapes, and some in honor of letters, but the essence does not change, the main types are always 5. Each of them has its own advantages and their shortcomings, and the essence of the selection of clothing is to emphasize the first and hide the second.
Underline the profitable and hide the flaws
For each type of figure, the shortcomings and advantages are always their own.
For owners of the apple-shaped figure, problem areas are the waist and arms, but they are distinguished by the presence of slender legs, even with fairly strong fullness. They can afford to wear knee-length dresses and even taller. The main thing is to adjust the waistline. To do this, you can either emphasize it with a belt, or play in color contrast, highlighting it with a dark color. You can distract attention from the abdomen with either a deep neckline or a boat neckline.
Women with a banana shape have an advantage in slender arms and legs. But with the waist they always have problems. The same dresses are suitable for them as for an apple-type figure, with the only exception that they can afford to open their hands.
For the hourglass type, hands and feet are usually problematic, but they can and should be freely demonstrated with the waist and neckline. But dresses that hide the waist, such as A-shaped, should be avoided. Otherwise, visually the waist is equal to the chest and hips, and the advantage will be lost, and no one will know that the waist is thin.
For owners of the āpearā type, it is typical to have thin arms, a slender waist, and graceful collarbones. Their problem area is the hips and legs, and they need to be hidden. They will look chic on dresses one year, if growth allows.
The inverted triangle shape is considered the most unsuccessful. Itās the hardest to beat. Many famous beauties shine on the red carpet, having this type of figure. Usually they have rather slender legs, but the upper part is massive. It is necessary to balance the top and bottom. To do this, they need to visually increase the bottom using lush and flowing fabrics or such a decorative element on dresses and skirts as the basques.
Color spectrum
But the conventional wisdom that black dresses for overweight women are visually slimmer is 100% justified. Not only black, but all dark colors are slimmer. It is better to give preference to ārichā shades, such as dark blue, the colors of precious stones, deep brown, and of course, the king of evening dresses - black.
Cut
Than it will be simpler, but better, the better. Asymmetric cut will draw extra attention to the outlines. In all its details you need to lean toward the golden mean. Especially in the fit, neckline and length of the sleeves. Correct patterns of classic cut will always be slim.
Thin straps are unacceptable in dresses for the full and for the summer as well. Firstly, they ugly cut into the skin. And secondly, overweight women can rarely afford to wear a dress without underwear, and it will be visible through such straps. In the heat, you can wear a sundress, but the straps on it should be at least 10 cm wide.
It is believed that when full, you need to wear dimensionless swing dresses. But in fact, they are more suited to slim to hide the angularity and make the figure emphasized fragile. Full women such styles, on the contrary, are even more fat.
Fabrics
The fabric from which the dress is sewn also plays a role. Flowing materials visually add kilograms. Even if it comes to choosing dresses for full for the summer. Since the folds formed on them during movement can be mistaken for the folds of the body itself. An exception may be a model with elements of flowing materials in those areas that need to be hidden. For example, the waist and hands on a dress for overweight women with the type of figure "apple". But only on condition that the basis of the thing is from dense material with a bandage effect. A dress only of guipure and lace, too, will not fit complete. This option is possible, but if the dress has a tightening silhouette, the body or underwear should not be visible through the lace pattern.
All dense fabrics give the figure a collection, make it more neat and fit. This is especially true when sewing dresses for full large sizes.
The exceptions are velvet and velveteen, they visually add a few pounds. These fabrics, on the contrary, are best used by too fragile women to visually appear more feminine.
With prints you need to be very, very careful, as some of them are able to add at least 10 kilograms. For example, floral and animal prints are permissible only in the clothes of very slender women.
Therefore, with completeness, so as not to risk it, it is better to refuse prints at all.
Decorative elements
Such decorative elements as rhinestones, sequins and bugles are not the best option for evening dresses for full ones. But if you want a truly festive outfit with sparkles, you can choose a dress that is sewn from plain, but very shiny fabric.
But this option is suitable only for those who do not have a big belly.
Footwear
Heeled shoes stretch a silhouette, and this is an indisputable fact. Heel is preferred medium. A thin hairpin with full legs looks caricatured, and a large one makes the whole figure more massive. If the shoes are selected for evening dresses for those who are full, it is better that the heel is not lower than 10 cm. But if health does not allow it, then you can replace it with a height of about 5 cm. Also, those who cannot walk on them should refuse high heels. . The sharper the sock, the more elegant the leg will appear. It is better to refuse shoes with round and square socks full.
Another technique that allows you to make your legs slimmer is the color of the shoes to match stockings, tights or the body, if we are talking about a summer look. But with the caveat that if the tone of the shoes is dark, then the dress should be with sleeves no shorter than three quarters of the length. Dark stockings and shoes in combination with bare hands will make them visually fuller. For an evening look, it would be better if these were shoes, and not ankle boots or boots.
Accessories
Fullness has an unpleasant feature, it is able to emphasize that the dress is from the budget segment. All imperfections in the cut, the cheapness of the material and the low-grade fittings will be emphasized. And the best advice would be to buy dresses of worthy brands. But if finances do not allow you to buy such an outfit at every exit, then the option may be to buy one or two basic, simple, but high-quality dresses. And in the future they can already be beaten with various accessories, thereby changing the image beyond recognition. Trend dress will make a splash, but it will be well remembered by everyone.
Since itās not so easy to find beautiful dresses for the full ones that are larger than the 52nd size, with this size it makes sense to invest once and order clothes from a professional tailor.
Accessories should not be too large, but not quite small. Large ones make any figure visually more massive, and small ones enlarge. Medium, not too artsy, will look perfect. In details, it is better to avoid angular shapes, oval, soft lines will stretch the silhouette.
Translucent gas scarves can become a real find for a dress for a celebration for overweight women . If you throw them casually on your arms or shoulders, you can hide the full arms and forearms. Leather straps of medium thickness in tone to the bag or shoes will help emphasize the waist for women with the types of figures āappleā, āhourglassā and āinverted triangleā. But bracelets and watches visually ācutā the hand, making it fuller, it is better to refuse them.
Length
Often, overweight women try to buy a dress more authentic, and often even completely on the floor. Since there is an opinion that long dresses for the full help them to hide excess weight under the fabric. The dress on the floor, no doubt, looks advantageous and solemn, but not in all cases it is slim. And women of no less than 170 cm in height, who have a not too massive upper part, can afford such a length. Popular among evening dresses, a year for full ones is appropriate only if the lady has a thin waist and incomplete arms relative to the whole body. That is, if the type of figure is āpearā or ābananaā. Owners of the "apple" figure and short stature will look unprofitable in any long dresses.
For full lengths, the midi length is also insidious; it visually shortens the legs. But if they are quite long, then you can choose a dress of this length, because it will look very elegant.
The most win-win option is either a knee-length dress, or slightly higher if your legs are in good shape. To make your legs look taut, you just need to give preference to tights and stockings with a tightening effect.
Geometric lines and shapes.
Using them as a print on models of dresses for obese women is dangerous and risky. But if you use the geometric guide lines correctly, they can "draw" the waist where it is not very pronounced, and generally stretch the silhouette. They should be simple and positioned correctly, and for each figure the directions can be different.
But they can be a disaster. The longitudinal lines visually flatten the silhouette. Large geometric shapes will make it shapeless, depriving all feminine bends. Therefore, if there is no certainty that there is a correct vision of geometric lines, then it is better not to play with this technique, otherwise you can achieve the opposite effect.
Hairstyle
It will be useful to mention her in the topic of dresses. After all, she is a full-fledged element of the image and is able to spoil the most suitable dress.
It used to be that short haircuts were best suited as full, and they were not talking about any long hair. But in fact, this applies only to groomed long hair without volume, they make the face fuller, and the image cheaper. And in the whole figure harmony disappears, the head seems smaller than the body.
You can wear long hair full, most importantly, do not forget to give them volume. Initially, the correct cascading haircut will help. But itās better to keep the length on the shoulders or higher, since they are easier to lay in bulk. A properly made asymmetric haircut can also make your face slimmer and add volume to your hair. But not every master can handle it. Well, another secret how to make hair more voluminous is highlighting, ombre and other multilayer stains.
Comfort
And last but not least: clothes should be comfortable, and these are not just words. If you pay attention to a woman in chic high-heeled shoes, in a short dress from a famous designer, but who is uncomfortable or does not feel at ease, will she look attractive? No, she will look exhausted, irritable and subconsciously push people away from herself.
There are such things that, at first glance, are not visible to others, but radically change the whole appearance. And this is love for your body and the convenience of clothing, as well as beautiful and comfortable underwear. Many men are not at all bothered by a womanās parameters; they are attracted to her by the energy of confidence in their undeniable attractiveness. And in fact, the weight, age and income of this woman do not play a major role in this.
