Before we look at examples of dresses for full women, let's find out what rules to follow when choosing.
Next, let's look at dresses for the plus size women: stylish, fashionable and perfect for the figure.
Casual dresses are models that can be worn every day. They are great for walks, meetings with friends, shopping and other informal events.

For the season 2023, we recommend casual dresses for full-figured women:
Among the everyday models for full-figured women, shirt dresses are the leaders. Firstly, they perfectly correct the figure and suitable for almost everyone, and secondly - it is a comfortable option for city walks, and for going to the movies, and for shopping. In addition to the obvious convenience - shirts are also a fashion trend, which often appears in the collections of world brands.

In addition to the classic shirt dress, you can choose models with an imitation clasp. It will perform the same functions - to visualy slim and elongate body due to the vertical line of buttons.

Models with a loose skirt - the second most successful model after the shirt dress. It can be a little flared or a full-fledged sun skirt.

If you have a pear body shape, look for models with a loose skirt and a voluminous top - lantern sleeves, for example. This will help to visually balance massive hips with a narrow top.

Even better, if the loose skirt will be complemented by a wrap - in this case, you will visually hide the belly and outline the waist.

Dresses for plus-size women may well be short, especially if your body type is an apple with long beautiful legs. It is important that the dress does not tighten the hips and belly, so it is better to choose a slightly loose cut.
You can also play with fabrics. It is better to choose materials that hold their shape well. One of the options is denim.

A straight cut is not always a good choice for full-figured women, as it makes the figure shapeless, and if it is also semi-fitted, it emphasizes all the flaws. However, there is a way out - you should choose a straight but slightly loose cut dress, like the silk model in the 11 Honoré's catalog.

For cooler weather, options from dense knitwear are suitable.
Stylish evening dresses for full-figure women are as diverse as for slender girls. Here you can play with the length, use different decor, experiment with the cut.
Among the evening dresse, the best option would be models:
Wrap - a great way to draw attention away from the belly and a fashion trend of recent seasons. It can be real - when the parts of dress are layered on each other and tied, or mimicked - in this case the dress is sewn with the layering effect.
A-silhouette is always a good choice of dress for a full-figure girls, because it helps to disguise excess volume. If for every day we choose mostly midi or mini, then in evening dresses we can get a little crazy and dress up in maxi.

As we have already found out above, the sun skirt perfectly disguises flaws in the thighs. This technique is also used in evening dresses , and even more actively than in everyday dresses.

Midi is the optimal length of evening dresses with a sun skirt. Length can be a from just below the knee to the middle of the shin. Material and trim - any.

Unlike the A-silhouette, trapezoid expands from the chest, i.e. it fits the body only in the area of shoulders and chest. The trapezoidal cut is suitable for girls with pear and apple bosy type figures, as it hides the torso outline.
Such an evening dress for plus size girls is a comfortable and elegant solution. It does not squeeze anywhere, keeps freedom of movement, but looks feminine.

An example of a trapezoidal cut is sundresses.
In the category of office dresses fall models of restrained or even classic cut, which do not contradict the dress code.
Stylish dresses for full-figured women for the office are:
The first in the list of classic dresses are shirt dresses. Semi-fitted cut models with restrained decor perfectly fit in office looks and do not contradict the business style.
Universal Standard
An alternative to a simple shirt will be a shirt-style vest dress. This option can be combined with a T-shirt.
A relevant option for the office - models without extravagance: simple cut with short or long sleeves. It can be based on A-silhouette or trapeze.

You can choose any material - depending on the time of year, temperature in the office or personal preferences. In winter and fall, knitted models or dresses made of dense knitwear are suitable, and in summer - lighter versions with the addition of cotton.

The same category includes dresses with a hint of casual summer style - these are models made of satin and silk with a flared skirt. They are quite simple and relaxed, but paired with a jacket can become part of the office look.

Let's consider the most problematic type of dresses for a full-figure women - summer dresses. The main danger here lies in the materials, because for summer clothes use flying thin fabrics that can emphasize the imperfections of the figure.
Summer dresses for plus-size women are:
Wrap models with a belt and shirt dresses are appropriate options for the summer closet. Unlike office and casual models, summer dresses are lighter and thinner. You need to choose options with free cut to ensure that the thin fabric does not emphasize imperfections.

Such dresses can be chosen in any style, even the most specific - boho, ethnic, hippie, jipsy.
Aplus
An equally successful option - shirts or models on the wrap made of linen - this material holds its shape well, does not highlight the imperfections of the figure and at the same time is perfect for even the hottest weather.

Another optimal summer dress option for a chubby women is a free cut mini length models: trapezoid or A-silhouette. This option is perfect for hourglass, inverted triangle and apple body types: it balances the figure and shows beautiful legs.

Fall dresses also have their own peculiarities, because the wrong fabric and cut can enhance the fullness of the figure and make it more massive.
Mara Hoffman
To prevent this from happening, we recommend choosing models for fall:
Shirt dress is a universal option that is perfect for fall. Instead of light models of airy materials, in the fall more dense fabrics come to the fore: thick cotton, suiting, velvet, velour, denim. All these fabrics are perfect for our case.
Universal Standard
Classic cotton also has a place, but it is better to use it in composite outfits. For example, combine a shirt dress with jeans.

Dress with a loose skirt is the most successful style of dress in the fall for women with a belly and massive hips. Equally successful will be models of lightweight fabrics, combined with rough boots and dense - of suit fabric with 3/4 sleeve.

Dress models in a sporty style - hoodie dresses, sweatshirts, sweatshirts are perfect for fall. The most important thing is not to choose an oversize dress, but to stop at a semi-fitted or only slightly loose cut.

When choosing a dress, whether for a full-figure or thin girl, it is important to take into account the type of figure: this allows you to hide flaws and emphasize the advantages. Before buying the dresses presented in the review above, make sure that they fit your body type.
Full figure girls can have different body shapes, but two are most common:
Pear is characterized by voluminous hips and narrow, small top. Most often, the hands of girls are graceful, the bust is small and neat. When choosing a dress, the main task is to mask the massive bottom and visually balance it with the top.
Great dresses for a pear shape
The apple has slender legs, narrow but sloping shoulders, and a massive, heavy center - the belly and waist. When choosing a dress, you need to lighten the problem areas, hide the belly and shift the emphasis to the winning places - usually the legs.
