How To Make the Most Of Your Fuller Figure by Choosing the Right Lingerie

The following is a guest contribution made by Samantha Harvey from AmpleBosom.com – the home of plus-size bras and lingerie.

Plus Size Bras at Apple Bosom

Too many women choose to feel self conscious and cover up their figure, rather than embracing their shape and finding flattering ways to celebrate it. Lingerie is available in every shape and size, designed to make women feel beautiful in their own skin. Understanding lingerie design will help any woman select lingerie that makes the most of her full figure and gives her the confidence she needs to look and feel great.

Sizing

The unfortunate truth is that selecting a lingerie style that is too tight, and that does not provide support will make a woman look lumpy and heavier than she is. Never select a size smaller than you need, and try everything on before you leave the store. Remember the goal is to look your best, so if you look your best in an 18 rather than a 16, embrace it.

Plus Size Body Love Acceptance: Inspirational Interview With Kelly Park of How to Look Good Naked

by Andrea Amador

If you’re a plus size gal struggling with excess weight and a negative body image, you’re not alone. And help is on the way. As part of the growing “Self Acceptance-Love Your Body” movement to encourage women to expand their definition of beauty, feel better about themselves and embrace their bodies, there has been a flood of media attention aimed at empowering women. Lifetime’s reality TV show, “How to Look Good Naked” hosted by Carson Kressley focuses on helping women rediscover their confidence and find self love by giving them the tools to improve their negative and distorted body images.

Kelly Park’s SOS Cry for Help, “I hate my body.”

After gaining 90 pounds post pregnancy, newly married mom, Kelly Park had lost the spark in her marriage. Once filled with body confidence, Kelly’s changing shape caused her to question her beauty, sense of worth and sex appeal. Assuming that her body revolted her husband, John, she stopped having sex with him and for the next five years they slept in separate beds. Kelly inspires other women by sharing her story of how she learned to love and appreciate her curvier, heavier mommy body after being on the show, “How to Look Good Naked.”

Finding The Perfect Prom Dress For 2012

by Lynn Westley

Have you already begun to search for your perfect prom dress? Seeking out the hottest 2012 trends? With so many dresses to choose from, finding the perfect dress can be confusing. Use these tips and the newest trends to help you reduce your selection and help you find the perfect dress without the stress.

1. Color

Choose a color that is right for your skin tone and complexion. Fair colored skin should wear blue, red, and dark greens. White complexion goes well with brown, pink, red, and blue; most colors are fine here. As for you fortunate tan skinned ladies, you may wear any color. Brown colored skin, slightly darker than tan, unique purples and oranges compliment your skin tone well. For more dark complexioned, black browns, and dark purples are gorgeous, along with light pinks, deep reds, and bright greens. And finally yellow completion goes well with pure whites, light colors, and black. Bright and solid colors of a wide range along with detailed prints are in for 2012. With fabrics such as satin, silk, and metallic chiffon bring the latest style into a dress and add a unique flair.

Plus Size Style to Look Out for in 2012

Guest post by Katie Theisinger

Evans USAOkay, with the holiday season and the sales safely out of the way, it’s time to look forward to what 2012 will bring us, fashion wise. Over the last few years, we’ve finally seen the fashion industry start to come to terms with the idea that larger women don’t want to wear floral tents, thank you very much, and as a result there’s a good deal more happening on the plus-size fashion stage for you to keep your eye out for.

Firstly, celebrated UK plus-size retailer Evans launched evansusa.com in October this year, so if you haven’t checked out their range yet, shame on you. There’s a good mix of basics alongside more eye-catching look-at-me pieces; and they’re claiming to add over a hundred new styles a week. We particularly like the leaf print maxi dress… it’s bright and bold without being too in-your-face, and cut well to flatter the curvier figure.

Best Hairstyles for Plus Size Women

by Sam H Smith

Plus size women face many unique challenges when it comes to beauty and fashion, from hairstyles to makeup, and clothes to shoes. Our bodies are different than the average woman’s, and we have just as many special considerations as the very petite woman, or even the very tall woman. Being plus sized is not a curse that should force us to shop as rarely as possible, and we should never be afraid to look and dress as sexy as we feel just because of our body size.

Plus Size Clothing: 5 Tips for Painless Shopping

by Alicia Rivera

Plus size clothing shopping is a pleasure for some full-figured women, and a chore for others. Whether you love it and shop twice a week, or hate it and shop twice a year, it can be a painless experience no matter what size you are. Use these plus size shopping tips to make your wardrobe hunt the fun experience it should be.

1. Know Your Measurements

Notice I didn’t say know your size. Your size will vary according to what you’re shopping for. The brand, style and sometimes even the fabric will make a difference. No two size 16′s are the same in my book. That goes for the clothes, and the women. So ask a trusted friend (it’s easier that way) and with a measuring tape, have them measure across the fullest part of your bust. Your natural waistline, and around the fullest part of your hips. Pull the measuring tape snug, not tight. Write these numbers down and tuck them in your purse. They will come in very handy, especially if you can’t or don’t want to try things on. — I recommend you try on clothes whenever possible, unless it’s something you’ve owned before.
