The dress that suits EVERY shape: From petite to plus-sized

Kate Middletons engagement dress is the perfect fit whether you are petite or plus size.

According to U.S. Glamour magazine, there is one dress type that flatters every size and shape.

It is suitable for the office, yet sexy enough for a date - and affordable, too. This wonder garment is the jersey dress. Its draped front, three-quarter sleeves, longish length, cinched waist and clever ruching means it solves any problem even the most self-conscious woman can come up with.

Better still, it’s the sort of dress popularised by Brazilian designer Issa, and worn by Kate Middleton when announcing her engagement. So it’s on trend, too.

The jersey dress, popularised by Kate Middleton, right, suits and flatters every figure but that the bigger the girl, the better it looks

The draping on this dress stops it from being too clingy over the hips and stomach, while the nipped-in waist gives a good shape - and the long sleeves hide the upper arms. Perfect!

Seventies Boho Style for Plus Size Figures

Bohemian Style & Hippie Chic Fashion for Plus Sized Fashionistas.

Ideas to add a vintage vibe to your wardrobe with plus size seventies boho chic.

Tunics and peasant tops with embroidery or pretty embellishments like sequins or rhinestones. Team them with dark denim flares or a denim maxi skirt.

Long, flowing skirts, headbands,fringing, lace, embroidery and printed flowing maxi dresses teamed with a wide leather belt also characterise the bohemian style. Go for light colours and floral patterns.

Accessories are key when it comes to creating a seventies look. Wear lots of bold statement jewellery; rings with large stones, wide bangles, long pendant necklaces
or strings of chunky beads.

A leather satchel or fringed over the body bag work well and the right scarf can finish off the boho look perfectly. Choose pashminas or wispy silk scarves in paisley and solid colours.

On Trend - Louis Vuitton Inspired Full Skirted Look

Louis Vuitton's Autumn/Winter 2011 ready-to-wear collection features gorgeous big, full skirts and full-skirted dresses. Other designers such as Paul Smith, Prada and Drie Van Noten have also released similar collections.

Girly, feminine and romantic, the vintage 50′s and early 60′ s inspired full-skirted look is ultra flattering to the fuller figure, with nipped in waists to acccentuate curves.

This classic look will make your waist look smaller and emphasise your bust, play up your curves and show off your best assets.


If choosing a full skirt, team it with a corset top to draw attention to your bust and decolletage. This will also balance the bulky texture the full skirt. This trick will create an hourglass figure and flaunt your perfect silhouette.

To complete your outfit accessorise with classic pumps, vintage inspired handbags, pearls and elegant elbow length gloves.

High street shops havent released their own full skirted ranges yet, but I'm sure that soon they will all be unveiling their own Louis Vuitton style full skirted dresses.

It has been hard to find similar styles at affordable prices for plus sized women, but I love the look so much I have scoured every online shop for similar plus size designs.

So if you want to beat all the other fashionistas and be on trend wearing the look early, check out these gorgeous full skirted styles for plus-sized figures.
