Selecting Evening Wear for Plus Size Fashion

Video Transcript

Okay, we're back again at Abundance. This is Syndra, with Abundance, on behalf of Expert Village and we're talking about evening wear for plus sizes. The apple shape is really a lot of fun to work with because a lot of women think, oh my gosh I have to have three pieces to cover you know my middle, and I can't have a gown. Well, we're here to tell you that that's not always the case. There are some gorgeous ball gowns out there that are designed with rouching here that hides a multitude of sins. Ana is a perfect example. As you remember from last time, Ana is an apple shape. And she has she carries her weight here in the center. This gown is perfect for her. It's a beautiful example of what can be done and how to flatter the figure. You'll see obviously the rouching, but the beading is key here. The bead work is done in such a way that it camouflages and sort of pulls into a center line, and really minimizes the width of the tummy area. In addition, this particular dress has a lot of interest going on up at the shoulders. Well now Ana has broad shoulders. So you might think that an off the shoulder gown would not be the most flattering. However, look at what happens here when you have the strap, the decorative strap added. It actually cuts the horizontal width of the shoulder as well. As bringing the interest up and continuing to really give that longer line.
