Plus Size fashion for fall: What I wore. so this dress I love I purchased it from Lands end it was on sale. It was the in color last season. I have to say this dress is my color or so I have been told by many. I got the dress for office days at work, it s great knit dress that is comfy, but classy. I can say it hangs great and washes wonderful.. which is not always my experience with washable knit dresses they usually look haggard or pilled after a wash.
I paired the dress with my closet finds. The suede blazer I have had for years but I like the casual look it. The scarf was a gift from my mother Jones New York. It has gold in the weave so it is fun to match some gold earrings and a way for me to avoid looking for the a great gold necklace that I don’t own and cant be found in my closet. The boots are Areosoles, great for wide calves and high enough with the dress so I can avoid wearing tight or stacking for warmth.
Alos a Great Bra helps with this dress
8 Tips for buying a knit dress:
- Make sure dress is not 100% cotton- make sure there is a spandex, polyester, or non organic content this will help the dress retain its shape
- Do Buy the correct fitted size – the dress should hug your curves but not look like street walker- Knits then to stretch when worn so don’t buy loose
- Wear the correct undergarments- That means a slightly padded well fitting bra- sot he girls don’t sag
- Invest in body shapers to hold in you bits
- Make sure the dress is long enough if it is a tight dress it will ride up
- Don’t be afraid to try a different belt, then the one that comes with the dress
- Dont tag tags off till you try on at home
- Wash dress alone , not with other clothes they will make the hems roll
Have a great week !
