Dresses are always a way to look feminine and stand out in the crowd. Graphic prints are a great way to play with illusion resulting in a slimmer look. However the biggest trick here is the solid colour applied in the waist area that gives the illusion of a fake (and to-die-for) silhouette. This optical distortion only works in tight dresses, so you must be comfortable with a fitted shape. Another detail that is worth mentioning, is that if plus size is your style, opt for tops and dresses with some sleeve. It doesn’t have to be long, but a bit longer than the usual like that shown in this look. Accessorise yourself and enjoy the compliments! This kind of dress is an easy-to-go piece and usually comes with a belt that marks your waistline creating an interesting silhouette. When going for pieces that have some sort of tie or belt, don’t forget that it must lay right on your waist and not in the area where your breasts end. Otherwise it will create a lot of volume on your chest area. Another important thing is to leave behind some fashion myths, like the one that says larger ladies should avoid prints. Embrace them, mainly the modern ones like the one in this look. Trendy shades and patterns will give oomph to your outfit. Also go for bold accessories to impress. DRESS SHIRT VISUAL EFFECT 1.
