Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best fabrics for plus size cocktail dresses?

A cocktail dress is a semi-formal, typically knee or ankle-length, available in a variety of fabrics to suit your style, body shape, and the occasion's dress code. From linen and mesh to satin and more, there are plenty of options perfect for cocktail events.

Are stretchy fabrics like spandex or jersey better for comfort and fit?

Stretchy fabrics such as spandex or jersey offer greater comfort and a better fit, as they move with your body, to provide flexibility and a flattering silhouette. For party and cocktail dresses, look for these fabrics in bodycon or fit-and-flare styles to achieve a complementary shape.

Which fabrics provide the most flattering drape and help smooth curves?

Fabrics such as satin or silk, which tend to be more loose-fitting, offer an irresistibly smooth drape that flatters and enhances all curves, providing structure, elegance, and a beautifully contoured silhouette.

Natural, airy fabrics such as linen blends or mesh, which highlight your frame with beautiful tones, prints, and patterns, are ideal for the warmer seasons, especially when cocktail hour extends into the evening.

Are there plus size dresses that flatter different body types?

Identifying your body shape makes choosing a cocktail dress much easier. From slim-fitting to relaxed styles, pick a dress that complements your figure, enhances your curves, and boosts your confidence and presence for any occasion.

What dress styles are most flattering for apple-shaped bodies?

If you have a fuller bust, create balance by defining your waist and elongating your upper body. Opt for cocktail dresses with V-necks or sweetheart necklines, which universally flatter apple-shaped bodies.

Which dress cuts work best for other body types, like pear, hourglass, or rectangle shapes?

For pear shapes, ruched or A-line dresses help balance the hips. Hourglass figures shine in wrap or bodycon styles that highlight the waist, while rectangles benefit from belted or structured cuts that soften sharp lines.

Are there universally flattering dress features that look great on all plus size figures?

Features like shirring, puffed sleeves, wrap styles, V-necks, and asymmetrical hems flatter all plus size figures by enhancing curves, defining the waist and bust, and creating balanced, elegant silhouettes.

What colours and prints look best on plus size figures?

Depending on the look you want, different colours and prints can create a variety of effects that flatter all plus size figures. Make a statement and brighten up any room with a bold dress, or add a touch of mystery with a darker, elegant look.

Do darker colours always make you look slimmer?

Darker colours create shadows that minimise contours and streamline your silhouette. Wearing a single dark colour can influence a monochrome effect, visually elongating the body and avoiding distractions from contrasting tones.

Can plus size women wear bold prints or bright colours?

Absolutely! From floral and abstract prints that draw attention in the right places, to pastel tones perfect for celebratory occasions, it’s a stunning way to showcase your curves rather than hide them.

How do I find the right size when shopping for plus size dresses?

Finding the right-sized plus size cocktail dress is key to feeling confident and comfortable at any cocktail event. Pay attention to the fabric's stretch and choose styles that accommodate your body shape and flatter your features.

How do I measure myself correctly for a plus size dress?

Using a soft tape measure, measure the fullest part of your bust, the narrowest part of your waist, and the widest part of your hips for an accurate reading. Then, refer to our online size guide to find the perfect fit within the recommended ranges.

What should I do if I'm between two sizes?

If you are between two sizes, it’s best to choose the larger one, as it's easier to alter a cocktail dress that is too big than one that's too small. This also ensures comfort and ease of movement, especially for fitted styles.
