The recent history of plus size clothing appears to have arisen as rebellion up against the the latest fashions for super skinny models, set during the early 1960’s. Before the 1960's both actresses and fashion models displayed more voluptuous physiques and so the designers of fashionable garments would develop their ranges to fit plus size women.



The arrival of the 1960’s was something of a watershed for plus size clothing and plus size dresses in particular as models became thinner and thinner and plus size clothing vanished from the catwalk. It seemed that the Marilyn Monroe figure once so in vogue had been usurped through the new look of models including Twiggy.



This new era preoccupied with smaller sized models giving rise to the now broadly criticised “size zero” leaving plus size clothing towards the margins of the fashion world. For many years this meant that plus size clothing was neither shown in publications nor seen on catwalks. This delivered signals that plus size clothing was either unavailable or unfashionable and lead to the view that plus size dresses were purely available from specialist stores.



Thankfully this is all in the past because of the efforts of plus size women models like Sophie Dahl and Emme Aronson who've brought the eye of designers back to plus size clothing and subsequently increased the supply of plus size dresses.



The present programme clearly shows plus size women's clothing is yet again the standard item. Most retailers offer a great choice of fashionable plus size clothing but it’s worth remembering some suggestions when searching for plus size dresses to ensure every plus size women may have a fantastic designer inspired look.



Compliment your cleavage with a top to lift you up and show you off:



•    Scooped necked tops.



•    V-necked tops.



•Stay clear of high necklines.



•Make use of a balcony bra.



Disguise a tummy with waistlines that pull you in and tunic tops:



•    Tops that drape.



•Try wider waistbands.



•Accentuate shoulders.

Use broad leg trousers and cap sleeve tops to counterbalance your curves:



•Try out flared skirts and dresses.



•Panelled skirts will enhance your figure.



•Keep everybodys eyes above your waist by wearing detailed tops.



Consider a tunic with an all around pattern or perhaps a long-line jacket if you have a more substantial bottom:



•Wear A-line skirts.



•Trousers with a wide leg may help your shape.



•Search for deep waist bands to make your bottom look smaller.



Flowing sleeves and clever detailing can help slim down your arms:



•Try to pick fabrics that flow.

•Ingenious use of a pashmina or shawl to smooth over your shape.
