Finding a stunning spring formal dress is not that much more difficult for a curvaceous woman. With a little research and a few hours of shopping, you should be able to find a dress which makes you feel comfortable and look good.
- Decide what undergarments you're planning to wear. If you decide to wear a girdle, you will need to wear it while you shop for dresses. Undergarments can change the way a dress looks on you, so it's best to be prepared when you're making your decision.
- Consult the experts. See what the latest spring formal fashions are by picking up a teen magazine or watching a fashion television channel. You will get a good idea of what's popular and what will therefore be sold in stores that carry spring formal dresses.
- Decide what kind of sleeves you want. Plus size girls with larger chests should avoid strapless dresses, but they can wear spaghetti strap dresses or dresses with built-in bras. If you're not comfortable with your arms, buy a dress with flowing sleeves or a shawl.
- Choose an appropriate length of dress to dance in. Plus size girls should go for an A-line dress to flatter their waists and slim their hips. If you plan to boogie down, go for a dress length around the knees. Longer dresses can work too, as long as they leave room for your legs to move.
- Move around in your dress. You should be able to dance comfortably without worrying about popping out of your dress or being restrained by the fabric.
