You need a dress size 20 to wear to your friend’s engagement party  but you’ve been to all the department stores and they have beautiful  dresses in so many designs and colors, only problem is they don’t  have a dress in size 20. Does this sound familiar to you?

It’s common, it happens a lot. Shopping in malls for dresses in larger sizes doesn’t mean you actually end up buying anything.  Shop online thought and you could be in for a treat.

Strange isn’t it that with the majority of women in the United  States being a size 14 and above, there still isn’t the choice and  variety of dresses in larger sizes to accomodate the plus sized  woman?

Our advice? Look around in malls and try the bigger retail stores and if they don’t have anything in stock, then look online.

It’s almost another world.

Dresses size 20 and above are so easy to find. By color, by brand,  by style of dress, by designer, dresses in baby pink, little black  dresses in larger sizes, plus size wedding dresses and special  occasion dresses in every size imaginable.  You can get all of this  online if you know where to look.

Another tip when shopping for your dress size 20 (or above):
Don’t buy anything 1 size larger than the size you are.  Fuller figured women often make the mistake of buying outfits that are a size bigger than their body size and then they wonder why they seem to disappear in the sack that they are wearing.

You MUST MUST MUST know your meansurements! Know your bust, waist  and hip measurements by rote. And you’ll find that this will help  you become quicker and more targetted when shopping for your  outfits.

Looking for a dress size 18 but you actually want a dress that looks  good, is beautifully designed and is flattering to wear and  fashionable too.  Does this sound like an impossible task?  It  shouldn’t be. But, sadly, finding decent and pretty clothes, in  larger sizes is a bit of a chore these days. Unless, of course, you  know where to look.

Before the big event, whether its Prom Night, or a wedding, or a  special birthday or other event, make sure you give yourself plenty  of time to shop around.  Don’t leave shopping for your outfit until  the weekend before. That’s far too late.

Without a doubt, shopping online is the way to go. There are so many  plus size designer clothing stores online, you can find your outfit  in an hour’s whizzing around online – dedicated time online that is.   The beauty of shopping online is that you can view and compare  styles, colors and prices all from your screen! In the comfort of  your chair!

For some great fashion advice take note here:

• measure yourself and make a note of your bust, hips and waist

• never buy anything that is a size bigger than what you are

• never buy anything that is a size smaller than you are (in which  case you are waiting to lose weight before you can wear it)

• always have a few class fashion pieces in your plus size fashion  wardrobe. These are items such as the classic white shirt, the  little back dress and the perfect pair of jeans.

Follow this advice and you won’t go wrong.
