Flattering, Fashionable
Dresses for Women



Dress styles come and go but one of the most flattering and timeless dresses for women is the wrap dress. It is one of the most flattering dresses for women because the neckline is usually a V-neckline or sweetheart neckline. An open neckline is a must for plus size women because it lengthens your neckline. It also ties at the waist which is great if you want to accentuate your waist. And it will create definition at your waist if you don't have one. Finally, if you buy a wrap dress with quality fabric, it will drape nicely over your hips. This is a great bonus especially if you are trying to minimize wider hips. 

If you don't know what to wear, this dress style is a no fail option. It transitions well from day to evening. You can dress it up or down with accessories. Most stores today carry this in their plus size dresses collection and offer a nice selection of colors and patterns to choose from. And for an added bonus, this style is very comfortable.
