Terry writes, “Good Morning, I am attending Full Figured Fashion Week (www.fffweek.com) next week for the first time ever and I have no idea what to wear, being a curvy girl myself. It’s the Fashion Week for plus size women and I want to represent, HELP! Thanks in advance for your advice!”
I’ve got some great options for you to flaunt your fabulous curves! But first some quick curvy girl style tips:
1. Fit is key, don’t drown yourself in fabric.
2. Cinch your waist with chic belts, wrap belts work miracles to give you a sexy hourglass silhouette.
3. Always work your curves with confidence!
I call this look “Casual Summertime Chic”. This yellow Altuzarra blazer is perfect for the season paired with a loose white tank and jeans (if you need more options for colorful blazers, try Eloquii).
Add some fun accessories like this BCBG statement necklace, a grey Alexander Wang clutch and these fashion forward WM colorblock platform sandals (a steal at $72!) Nail polish in a pretty coral or pink hue are the icing on the cake for this summery-citrus outfit.
Every gal knows the power of an LBD. This one by Jessica Simpson has flattering ruching to slim your silhouette and the Linne Pelle corset belt highlights your sexy waistline.
Add on a D&G animal print clutch and nude Jimmy Choos, along with a polished purple cuff and eye catching earrings. A red lip and you’re good to go!
In my opinion, no one fills out a wrap dress better than a woman with curves! This DVF frock will be your year round staple, since it works fabulously for so many different occasions and can be dressed up or down.
These Carvela Gable heels are a perfect compliment for this dress, along with a Dorothy Perkins envelope clutch and Tom Ford cat eye sunnies. I love these TopShop earrings and this Elizabeth & James cocktail ring. A pretty pink pout later and you’re set!
Ladies, this DVF dress is in a size 12 but I have included a great variety of 28 (!) dresses below with an awesome range of sizes and fab prices. Take your pick!
Terry, I hope these looks inspire you! Have a great time at FFFW!

All of these are really lackluster to me especially in comparison to the non-plus sized fashion inspiration posts. She probably would have better luck if she looked to one of the plus sized fashion bloggers for inspiration. Not to mention the shoes are all completely off. I’m thinking FFF is going to be a lot of walking, standing and mingling. You are going to need comfy shoes.

I agree with pp, it seems odd that a plus size woman wouldn’t write this post or at least take tips from the fashionable plus sized ladies. Not to mention, some of the looks she didn’t include in the shopstyle options.

Great post!

is the first blazer an option that is not offered in plus sizes? uhm….
June 12, 2012 10:11 pm
I like these looks. Claire, can you do a post on what to wear while volunteering backstage for Miami Swim Week? I’ll be meeting a lot of people and working, so I need some inspiration on cute yet comfy looks.
Thanks!!!!
