Embracing Your Curves: A Guide for Slaying Form-Fitting Clothing

 

For too long, plus-sized women have been told to hide their bodies beneath loose, shapeless garments. But here's the good news – gone are those days! If you're someone who loves to show off your curves in tight clothing, this blog post is for you. Get ready to ditch those baggy outfits and celebrate your beautiful body with confidence.

1. Know your body type

When it comes to choosing form-fitting clothing that flatters your figure, the secret lies in understanding your body type. Just like everyone else, plus-sized women come in different shapes and sizes. Determine if you're an hourglass, pear, apple, or rectangle and embrace styles that highlight your best features.


 2. Invest in quality shapewear

A key piece of advice for any woman who loves to wear tight clothing is investing in quality shapewear. Not only does it provide support but helps smooth out your silhouette - giving you the confidence to slay every outfit.  However, you may prefer not to wear any restrictive sharpwear and that's fine as well.


3. Accentuate your waist

Highlighting your waist can instantly elevate any outfit—no matter the size. Use belts and high-waisted pieces to create an hourglass shape, show off your natural curves, and make you feel fabulous.

4. Choose the right fabrics

Not all form-fitting clothing is equal. When shopping for these garments, choose fabrics that offer both stretch and structure like premium cotton blends or ponte knit. These materials provide support while adapting to your body's shape.

5. Opt for vertical patterns

Vertical patterns are universally slimming while adding flair to your wardrobe. Stripes, seams, and elongating prints can give the illusion of length and create a slenderizing effect—emphasizing all the right places. Plus Size Natural Stripe Maxi Dress (affiliate link)



6. Accessorize wisely

Accessories have the power to make or break any outfit—including form-fitting attire. For tight clothing, opt for statement necklaces, bold earrings, or stylish scarves that will enhance your overall look.  Nasty Gal Flower Chain Drop Earrings (affiliate link)



7. Mix in some loose layers

Wearing tight garments doesn't mean you have to give up on layering altogether! A loose cardigan, duster, or kimono over a form-fitting outfit can add dimension and give a chic, relaxed vibe to your ensemble.

Fall into Fashion: Brown is IN for 2023 Blog

Fall into Fashion: Brown is IN for 2023 

Shell Design Boutique: https://linkpop.com/shelldesignboutique   

 


 With autumn creeping up on us quickly, your thoughts may turn toward your fall wardrobe.  Well regardless of where you live, you will find that brown is IN!  The various warm hues of browns, beiges and creams seem to be filling all the ads and pages for different clothing brands and magazines.  Let's explore ways you can incorporate brown into your fall wardrobe!  FYI, I am an affiliate for Amazon, Ebay, Collective Voice and Printify.  If you make an eligible purchase through one of my links, I will receive a small commission.  Thank you for your support!

 

There are lots of ways to look at the beige/brown palette.  Maybe you are just looking for a certain piece of clothing or accessory to be brown, rather than worrying about building a whole outfit.  No worries, I've found several simple ways to start building a gorgeous brown wardrobe.  I've tried to include styles that come in plus sizes and are affordable.

 

Perhaps you can start with a simple brown dress.  This will allow you to build upon it with different layers and colorful accessories.  Check out this simple, brown maxi dress from Quince:

 

 

 

You may prefer a colorful and eye catching centerpiece, that you can add in some brown or beige accessories and make a gorgeous outfit, like this dress from Ebay:

 

 

 

You may be looking for something a little different.  Check out these brown Nikes, from Nike.com.  They are very reasonably priced and are just a little bit different than the norm, sort of like me!

 

 

 

I have found that I love creating my own outfits and am so glad that I found a web page that allows me to create outfits with products from different retailers, plus includes them in a widget for me.  Here a few of the outfits in different shades of brown that I have created myself. 

I built this first collection around a gorgeous Leopard print shirt, with a bright white bottom.  I threw in some white accessories to balance out the leopard print.  It is so striking and eye catching!  Love, love, love it!!  So whether you are going on a nature hike or hiking to your local coffee shop, you will be prepared with this outfit.
