The Struggle Is Real: Why Most Party Dresses Ignore Plus-Size Bodies

ot all brands create plus size fashion clothing; they just scale up the size range.

You might wonder, 'huh? What's the difference?. There is a huge difference that affects how your dress looks on you and the confidence boost you get from a perfectly fitting dress.

How often have you, as a plus size woman, found the perfect dress but not available in your size, or a dress in your size that is boring and out of style? Yeah, that's because more often than not, fashion brands just scale up the sizes (change the measurements) without considering the intricacy of the plus size body.

Curvy women aren't small, nor do they have a straight body shape!

Plus size clothing brands often have a fixed style guide and copy-paste it into all types of clothes they create for women. Unlike popular stereotype, not all plus size women are short, have huge bellies and busts, or are looking for outfits that'll drown their bodies and hide the curves entirely.

As mentioned below, there are a few common struggles that every plus size woman has faced at least once in their life (some even face them every time they shop for a new dress).

Limited number of outfits, styles, and colours.
Sky-high pricing just because they are plus size.
Either poorly fitting dresses that are either too tight from the hips or too loose on the bust.
Designs that are either boring or out of trend.
Outfits that have no shape, just straight dresses that look like a single cloth draped around your body.
Checking the measurements of a plus size dress on every site, because there are no fixed measurements.

Creating plus size fashion includes the understanding of which designs, cuts, and colors look flattering on plus size body. Therefore, you need a plus size clothing brand dedicated to creating stylish and fitting clothes.
