This collection shows the different types of plus-size formal dresses that are available for plus-size women like.

A line Dresses

These dresses are made from cotton, denim, or polyester fabric to help retain their shapes. The A-line dresses favor women with a bigger stomach which helps give a tummy tuck effect. Maxi A-line dresses will give a more formal look compared to mini dresses.

Ball Gowns

These dresses create an illusion of an hourglass figure. This is because the bodice clenches the waist and covers up the thighs and hips under the voluminous skirt. Ball gowns have a high level of formality and are most suitable for events such as black-tie weddings and galas. Adding sleeves to the dress for more coverage can give a confidence boost.

Mermaid Dresses

Being tight-fitting from the shoulders to knee length, these dresses are flattering for plus-size women since they emphasize their curves. Mermaid dresses are made from tulle, chiffon, or lace for breathability and comfort. Choose a sweetheart or v-neckline will give the dresses an elegant finish.

Bodycon Dresses

For a plus-size bodycon dress to look nice you need to choose fabric that is stretchy like spandex. These dresses are a great way to show off your curvy body. Choose a dress with the right fitting, a too-tight bodycon will show rolls or lumps on your body making you feel uncomfortable. Maxi dresses can also help you look skinnier in a bodycon dress.

Fit and Flatter Dresses

Fit and flare dresses have a flattering effect on plus-size bodies. This is because they have a fitted bodice and a flared skirt from the waist to the hem which gives balance, especially for the apple or pear body shape. Fit and flatter designs can vary from maxi, skater, midi, and tiered designs. 

Empire Waist Dresses

These dresses have a high waistline that is just below the bust. It is suitable for full-figure women who want to hide their waistline. It is flowy from the bust so it hides any flaws on your body from love handles to a big stomach etc. 

Sheath plus size Dresses

Sheath dresses are timeless, and versatile and are a good choice for plus-size women of any age. These elegant dresses do not feature a waistline and so are a good choice for women who want to create a sleek look. Sheath dresses are perfect for weddings, work events, or galas.
