Accessorising Plus-Size Dresses: Tips for a Balanced Look

If you are also someone who thinks that finding comfortable plus-size dresses for women is almost too tedious, then you need to rethink. Having your hands on comfy clothing for plus-size women is no longer a hassle. With Meera’s Plus Size Store, you get your one-stop destination for the widest range of premium plus-size Anarkali dresses, lehenga, suit, saree, kurti, co-ord set and many more. However, dressing up correctly may require some work. 

When it comes to styling plus-size dresses, the trick lies in accessorising and detailing. Accessories have the power to change the game when apparel is concerned. No matter if it's a formal event, a wedding celebration, or a casual day outing, carrying the right accessories in the right way can instantly take your entire look to the next level. Presented herein is a comprehensive style guide that will assist you with some quick tips and essential considerations to achieve a flattering and fashionable look, without cutting down on the comfort level. 

Understanding Proportions: The Key to Balanced Accessorising

Whether you are accessorising a plus-size formal dress, a casual plus-size summer dress, or even contemporary plus-size co-ord sets for women, you need to know that proportion is the key to a balanced look. Accessorising heavily can sometimes be awful; instead, go with the less-is-more concept. When you have a harmonious balance of things, each element complements your figure effortlessly. In order to understand the right proportion, there are certain factors that need to be taken into account. For instance: 

Check The Neck

Consider the neckline of your dress, because it is the crucial point for choosing necklaces. You can go with necklines depending upon your body shape, occasion, and comfort preference. Here are a few necklace options that work well with different types of necklines.

• Round necks: Short, statement pieces of layered necklaces go beautifully with round necklines. Alternatively, a long chain can also be used to create a lengthening effect.

• V-necks: V-necks are incredibly flattering and offer space for lengthy chains with hefty pendants and extended necklaces that seamlessly follow the deep shape.

• Scoop necks: Alike round necks, scoop necklines are known for their versatility. You can wear both shorter and longer neckpieces with them based on the theme of the event and overall vibe of the dress.

• Square necks: These necklines usually flaunt chokers or necklaces featuring geometric-shaped pendants. They mirror the square shape in a dramatic yet stylish manner.

• Halter necks: With these necklines, try skipping the necklaces entirely and go with earrings or a bracelet to not look overly cluttered.

For instance, if you have on a plus-size wedding guest dress with a deep V-neck, a stunning pendant necklace featuring a big size emerald or ruby gemstone will add a sense of sophistication and allure without dominating the V-neckline.

With the Right Jewelry, Less Can Be More!

While it seems to be a tempting deal to go big with the jewellery, particularly for a wedding, festive celebration, and other special occasions, but its not always favourable. Keep in mind that less is more; subtle, sophisticated, and stylish. Pick a few powerful pieces that not only look good on your dress but also complement each other well.

Rings: 

Choose rings that work out with your entire style and suit the theme of the event. For a jaw-dropping arrival, you can adorn an exquisite centrepiece or have multiple dainty rings. If your plus-size lehenga features delicate embroidery or sequin work, opt for minimalist jewellery. A statement stone ring shimmers the lavish occasion perfectly well. On the other hand, plain dress profiles like comfy plus-size sarees get better with multiple accessories and bold jewellery.

Earrings: 

Do you know what the golden rule of jewellery emphasises..? Balance. Earrings can outline your face and provide a hint of glitz. With plus-size kurtas, for example, statement earrings can lend a glamorous touch without requiring a chunky necklace. 

• Studs: Simple and timeless, ideal for a regular day or when you'd prefer other accessories to be the stars.

• Hoops: Hoops, which come in different sizes, can bring about a touch of glamour and persona. Select size-proportionate hoops to suit your face as well as your entire appearance.

• Dangle earrings: Dangle earrings can bring length and dynamism, most suitable with brief hairstyles or even updos. For plus-size bridal dresses, subtle dangle earrings featuring crystals or pearls can put out a sophisticated look. 

Layered chains or long earrings can create the illusion of length, extending your neckline and evening out your proportions.

Bracelets and Bangles: 

The right piece of hand jewellery can bring a spark to your wrist and beauty to your persona. 

• Single statement bracelet: A bold cuff or a one-of-a-kind, detailed bracelet can be a showstopper with a regal dress like Deep Purple Banarasi Alia Cut Georgette Suit Set. 

• Stacking dainty bracelets: For a less flashy appearance, try stacking thin bracelets or bangles. Make sure they don't dominate your wrist.

Belts: Define Natural Beauty of Curves 

Belts are an excellent addition to accessories for plus-size dresses because they can effortlessly define your waist and create an hourglass silhouette. 

• Wide belts: These can efficiently cinch your waist and provide a strong statement. Select a wide belt that matches your dress or provides a splash of contrast. Pair a flared soft kurta such as the Maati- Earthy Brown Handblock Printed Aline Slit Kurta with a tan wide belt and nude block heels for a Sunday brunch outfit.

• Narrow belts: These provide a soft definition and are best used with loose-fitting fabrics or dresses with elaborate details. Don't use extremely thin belts that could get lost in the attire. Instead, opt for a fashionable belt that matches the colour and texture of the dress.

• Decorative belts: A decorative belt with beads, sequins, or other ornamentation can add a touch of allure to your plus-size wedding guest dress or plus-size wedding dress for weddings or other formal happenings.

Belts go perfectly with plus-size summer dresses and loose Anarkalis as well. Opt for medium to wide belts that don't cut in but still provide a good level of support.

Tip to Note: Buckle your belt at your natural waistline to get the best results. A well-positioned belt can contour your waist and add structure to your figure. 

Scarves and Wraps: Adding Harmonious Hue 

• Scarves and wraps are great accessories to provide colour, texture, and spark to your everyday plus-size attire. 
• For summer, opt for lightweight cotton or linen scarves. Enfold them with ease in a chic knot.
• For winters, you can pick warm drapes or shawls made of luxurious fabrics such as silk, velvet, or pashmina. 

Handbags: Functionality With Fashion 

While stepping out of the home, make sure that your handbag or clutch is not only functional but also complements your overall look. If it's a regular day out, you can go with neutral colours. On the contrary, if it's a wedding or party evening, pick some bold shades. Metallics or jewel tones usually go well with plus-size wedding guest dresses.

• Clutches: Perfect for black-tie affairs such as weddings or parties. Select a clutch with a colour or metallic hue that complements your dress and jewellery.

• Shoulder bags: If you are attending a less formal event or going out during the day, a fashionable shoulder bag of a size that meets your requirements is an excellent option. 

• Structured bags: These are ideal to bestow upon your plus-size formal dresses a refined and elegant appearance. Take into consideration the colour and fabric to coordinate with your plus-size apparel.

For a formal or celebratory occasion, embroidered potli bags or beaded box clutches are considered perfect. For a more glamorous attire, like wearing the RAGINI Off-White & Gold Sequin Embroidered Pure Tissue Silk Anarkali Set, adding a golden or beaded clutch can be the best finish.

 

Shoes: Anchoring Your Walk 

Finally, the footwear, a comfortable footwear is not a luxury, but a necessity. Besides completing your look, it keeps you soothing all day or through the event.

• Heels: Classic pumps, stilettos, or block heels, whatever type, the ideal heels can lengthen your legs and bring your plus-size wedding dresses some mystique appeal.

• Flats: Flats with embellishments, fashionable loafers, or sophisticated ballet flats can serve as a fabulous backup for everyday usage or where there is a need to prioritise comfort. You should especially emphasise pairing them with plus-size dresses for the sunny days.

• Ankle straps: Be careful while wearing ankle straps because they usually have a tendency to make your legs look shorter. If you wear ankle straps, ensure that they are subtle and sophisticated, and the colour is in harmony with your skin tone or stockings.

To Conclude: Confidence is the Best Accessory 

You may dress in the most stunning ensemble, but what makes you truly stand out from the crowd is your confidence. Experiment with various pieces and discover what makes you feel stylish and confident. Be mindful of the occasion, the dress's neckline and silhouette, and the balance of your overall look. Hope this guide helps you effortlessly transform any plus-size dress to sparkle at any occasion.
