Zip Struggles and Bathroom Breaks: The Functional Fails of Party Wear

Every plus size woman has faced a situation where they have challenged themselves to do a unique yoga pose. No, not to showcase their flexibility but to zip up a party dress or use the washroom at a party! The struggle is real, but you don't have to put yourself through that. Today, we will discuss the functional failures of a party wear dress in plus size, making dressing a dreaded experience. 

The functional fails of plus size party wear, and how Curvy Lane offers the solution for them! 

Through our research (and experience), we have seen some common designs that work well in small or medium sizes but are awful for plus sizes. The following are a few common functional fails, and how we overcome them with our collection of plus size party wear for women.

Zippers that are out of reach 

Have you ever worn a pretty dress and taken pictures, but when you want to get out of that dress at home, you almost cried because the zipper won't open! 

Yeah, been there, done that, do not recommend it ever again. 

But why do plus-size women struggle the most with this issue? Because plus size dresses with zipper aren't actually that functional. The zippers on the back can be impossible to reach, and sometimes they break. So, it's uncomfortable to wear and remove these dresses. 

How does Curvy Lane overcome the zipper struggle?

It doesn't matter whether your zippers are on the back or the sides; plus size dresses with zippers might not work for most. That's why we ditched the hassle entirely by creating slip dresses or dresses with an easy-to-close keyhole opening in the back. It makes it easier for women to slip out of the dress and remove it without doing any gymnastics. Our Marron sheath dress is the perfect modern party dress with an easily accessible keyhole closure. 

Curves either get no attention or too much attention

Curves are good, they are spectacular! However, how those curves are highlighted matters. Often, the plus size dresses don't fit right. They either hide your waist and curves entirely or are too snatched, making the tummy appear bigger. Thus, many times, plus size women don't consider dresses when looking for party wear outfit ideas. 

How does Curvy Lane highlight your curves flawlessly?

Our design team creates waist-flattering plus size outfits based on various body shapes and customer reviews. We use classic shapes like A-line, empress waist, wrap dress, and more to create stylish party wear dresses for plus size women. For example, look at our ombre midi dress. The sleeveless design, a fitted cowel neck, and the flow from the waist highlight just the right amount of curves around the waist. Explore more dresses on our website. 

Suffocating fabric choices 

If your dress starts sticking uncomfortably to your skin after just two dances, the dress isn't for you. While poor fabric choice is a common issue, plus size women suffer the most due to sweaty and scratchy fabrics. They are often suffocating and ruin the party experience. 

How does Curvy Lane create comfy party wear for women? 

Our team of experts choose breathable, stretchable, and visually appealing fabrics to create stunning party wear dresses. Our party wear collection includes dresses made of fabrics such as Lycra, Velvet-Satin, and Sequin. They are designed to ensure you look stunning without wanting to 'get out of the dress' just when you enter the party. 

Proportions aren't right (any garment you can use)

Finding the perfect plus size dress is nothing short of a treasure hunt. Why? Because every dress is either too tight from the waist, too loose from the top, or has suffocating sleeves. The struggle of finding the best proportions never really ends.

Uncomfortable slits 

A party wear dress with a slit is a dream! It's classic and stylish. However, plus size party wear with a slit can quickly turn into a nightmare. The usual side slit, upto the thighs, doesn't work on plus size. It makes your legs look a lot wider and can be uncomfortable. 

How can Curvy Lane help you wear a dress with a slit?

We have used many party wear dress stitching ideas to create a slit design that hides your tights perfectly, but also has an enticing slit. You can wear heels to accentuate the visual appeal of the dress.

All our collections are designed to cater to plus size women and ensure they can embrace their style without worrying about finding their size. All our dresses are available in sizes L to 7XL, and customizable up to 13XL! Explore our other collections to find your perfect outfit for any event! 

Conclusion 

The generic plus size clothing often has many functional flaws that make getting in and out of the dress difficult. A few of these flaws are zippers that are difficult to reach, uncomfortable fabric, unflattering dress cuts, dress proportions, and over-exposed leg slits. We discussed how Curvy Lane overcomes these issues to create a stunning party wear dress in plus size. You can explore customizable party wear for plus size women on our website.
