Finding the Perfect Plus Size Midi Dresses

When choosing from the variety of plus size midi dresses available, to find the perfect dress for you, all you need to do is keep two things in mind:

1. dress for your body type and frame
2. accentuate and flatter the areas that make you feel good about yourself and that you want to show off.
   

Plus size midi dresses are an excellent option for special occasions. The longer length of these dresses makes them an elegant choice for cocktail parties and garden parties. In addition, the midi dress is a classic hemline, falling between knee and calf, which works well for dressy looks and makes for an easy way to add a bit of effortless chic to your outfit.

There are many different shapes and silhouettes to choose from when shopping for plus size midi dresses. However, here are a few styles to look out for that can help you find the perfect, flattering plus size midi dress for you.

The A-Line Silhouette has a fitted top and torso that will flare out at the waist, making a great option for a structured look that is flattering to nearly all body types and figures. When constructed of stiffer material, this will retain the a-line shape, while softer, more pliable fabrics will create a draped effect. The Plus Country Spring Canvas Midi Dress is a beautiful floral plus size white midi dress with an a-line silhouette. Its spring floral watercolor pattern on a white background makes for a dainty cocktail party or garden party dress. The top includes a v-neck with 3/4 length sleeves and a faux button front.

The main feature of a Peplum Dress is a ruffle at the waist that flairs out. This style makes the waist look smaller than the shoulders and hips, creating an hourglass figure. Peplum dresses can be an excellent choice for people with rectangular or oval-shaped figures looking for a dress that will balance their waist against the rest of their body. The Plus Garden Print Peplum Midi Dress is a plus size white midi dress that features an all-over colorful floral pattern for a pop of color. It features a full-body ruched design that hugs curves, with a tie-up halter top and a gorgeous ruffled hem.

The high neckline of a Halter Top Dress or the wrap effect of an Off the Shoulder Dress can be a great choice to show off the shoulders and/or décolletage, depending on the dress. Both can draw attention to your upper half, especially your neck and shoulders. An off-the-shoulder dress can also balance out shoulders that are narrower than hips. The Plus Overlapping Ruffles Midi Dress creates a tropical look with its leaf print. This plus size white midi dress features a plunging halter neckline balanced by a ruffle skirt with a structured waist and a back tie.
