FAQs

Can you provide guidance on how to choose the right formal plus size dress for a specific event?

Choosing the right formal plus-size dress for a specific event involves lots of factors. Here are some guidelines to help you make the right choice:

• Consider Shape:
  Identify your body shape (hourglass, apple, pear, etc.) and choose a dress style that flatters your figure. Different styles suit different body shapes, so find a dress that accentuates your best features and provides a comfortable fit.

• Choose the Right Length:
  Consider the formality of the event and choose an appropriate dress length. Maxi dresses are often suitable for more formal events, while knee-length or midi dresses can work well for semi-formal occasions.

• Select a Flattering Neckline:
  Pay attention to the neckline of the dress. V-necks, scoop necks, and rounded necklines are often flattering for plus-size figures. Choose a neckline that complements your body shape and enhances your overall look.

• Opt for Quality Fabric:
  Choose a dress made from quality fabric that drapes well and provides a polished appearance. From cotton, satin and linen blends, we have a range of plus size dresses made in a range of easy to wear and comfortable fabrics that will suit any formal occasion.

• Consider Color and Print:
  Dark colours and solid prints are generally a safe choice for formal plus size dresses in Australia. However, don't be afraid to experiment with bold colours or subtle prints if they suit your personal style and the event's atmosphere.

• Pay Attention to Details:
  Consider details like embroidered embellishments, sequins, or lace that can add an elevated element to the dress.
