Dressing Tips For Overweight Women by free2ryhme: 1:04pm On Sep 25, 2012
OVERWEIGHT: When people talk about being overweight or obese, they mean that someone has more body fat than is healthy. Everyone has some body fat, but excess fat can affect someone's health and ability to walk, run, and get around, as well as how the person looks and his or her self-esteem.
For now lets focus on what women should wear if you are overweight/plus-sized.

Being overweight does not mean you cant look fabulous, all you need to know is HOW and WHAT to wear.

* Firstly stay healthy, eat whole grain, fruits, vegetables,stay away from sweets and salty foods,exercise at
least every other day or walking around town.
* keep your skin healthy.Bad skin looks bad on people with any figure.
* Practice good posture and how to walk.
* Show the world you are confident and happy.

BUILDING YOUR WARDROBE

* Don't get or buy clothes that are too loose or too tight, these makes you bigger and more sloppy.Wear cute clothes that shows those beautiful curves rather than squeeze or hide them.
* Bigger women have bigger breasts, enhance your bust by wearing V-necks and long necklaces, don't show too much of your bust.Go for good fitted bra, it helps lift the figure and avoid backaches.
* Well fitted undergarment.Also know or find out the best hair.
* If you look for skirt you cant go wrong with A-line, avoid pencil skirts.
* Careful with leggings. Some women, long shirt or dress with leggings is a slimming and fashionable look, however if you have larger hips, things or bottom it look awful.
* Skip spaghetti-strap or halter tops because of your bra-strap that might be wider.
* Buy age-appropriate clothing (clothes that fits your age).

More tips:
Self confidence is the key. No matter what u r wearing, once u feel comfortable n confident in it, carry go.
*Radiate confidence. Don't allow urself to feel inferior jst because u r overweight.
*Dont wear high heeled shoes unless u r very comfortable in them. Wearing well fitted n comfortable shoes will help enhance ur posture & confidence especially while walking.
*Try as much as u can to stay around people who genuinely like u just the way u r.
*Last but not the list, no matter what they say or think, YOU ARE BEUTIFUL.

let me add more tips wink
1.Start with a well-fitting bra. Think of undergarments as a foundation to dressing well. Choose bras with wider straps so they dont cut into your shoulders and full cup coverage so your bra will move with your body.

2.Find the right pants that fit your waist, hips and thighs properly without cutting off your circulation or being so baggy that you cant even tell where your waist, hips and thighs are. Visit Kiyonna.com [See Additional Resources] to find premium denim jeans made specifically for curvaceous women.

3.Get the shirt fit right. Make sure buttons dont strain or pull and the length of the shirt hits at just below the hips. Buttons that pull means the shirt is too small and a shirt that hits at the or below the hips gives the illusion of an elongated, smaller torso.

4.Choose a structured jacket made from heavy cotton, denim, corduroy or wool that is wider at the top, fitted at the waist, flare a bit at the bottom and end just below the hem have a slimming effect. Choose a jacket with details such as darting or seams on the waist. Detailing will make the waist look narrower.

5.Pay attention to the cut of your pants. You want to balance your body through clothing to dress well when overweight. So, when choosing pants, go for a classic or wide-leg cut for trousers and a straight- or boot-leg cut for jeans.

There should be decent dress codes for every sizes....i agree fat people shouldnt wear tight clothing but i am also tired of see badly dressed skinny people.

Appearance abd hygiene matters for ALL SIZES.
