But there are some golden rules to stick by to make sure you look elegant and beautiful without feeling uncomfortable.

Everyone has a favourite part of their body – whether it’s legs, chest, neck or a great smile. Make sure you flaunt your favourite bits – don’t be scared to show off your legs in a fitted skirt or classic shorts, and carry it off with confidence.

Having two or three precious outfits – perhaps occasional wear that you feel really good in – can be a great wardrobe staple, and can stop you worrying about what to wear if you’re suddenly invited out.

Don’t go for anything figure-hugging which is going to make you feel self-conscious – if you want to wear something tight, accessorise to make the look work for you. But don’t over-accessorise – if you’re wearing bold, bright colours, keep jewellery to a minimum. Or if you’re going for something plain and simple, feel free to get creative with bangles, rings or earrings.

Whatever you do, remember to be yourself, and you’ll always look your best.

The new 2011 fashion trend for the plus-size lady is lace lingerie matching the already popular lacy over-garments currently taking over the catwalks.

Lace can often emphasise your natural curves and can come in stretch to offer comfort as well as style.

For something a little different, try a daring lace corset, beautifully stylish and also very sexy. As well as the corsets you will see lace baby dolls making a big come-back this year as well as chemises. There will be an increase in designs of lace bras and panties and there will also be an increase in designers choosing lace for night-robes.

It is true to say that it will never go out of fashion or style but this year it is the definite must-have part of your wardrobe more than ever before.

However there are some easy ways to ensure that you look and feel your best by choosing the correct plus-size women’s dresses to suit every shape and size.

Always choose age appropriate dresses

It can make you look less classy if you choose a dress that was designed for a younger woman, it gives the impression you are not comfortable with yourself and can often look cheap and tacky. There are hundreds of shops on the high-street or online that offer beautiful age appropriate dresses for the plus-size lady.

Choose the Halter Neck

Halter Neck dresses are a must for any plus-size wardrobe. Halter Neck dresses allow you to flatter your arms and allow you to showcase your back. They take the attention off the larger body area by attracting the attention away from the main body area.

Short-dresses

This is another classic style dress for the plus-size lady, which allows the focus off the main body area and onto the legs. A great tip is to apply a light bronzer to the legs and wear heels to give the appearance of being taller and leggy, again diverting attention.

Colours and fabrics

Choose fabrics that flow quite easily and aren’t restrictive which gives the appearance of a thinner physique.

Always choose colours and styles that flatter the larger figure for example smaller prints rather than larger ones will help you look smaller framed rather than large bold prints the draw attention to your problem areas.

Whatever your age or style there is the perfect evening dress out there for you.
