Measuring your Waist, Hips and Bust

Before you purchase a garment, it is important to determine the correct size according to the women’s measurement chart first. Here are brief guidelines on how to measure the prime areas and finalise your measurement as per women’s size chart.

Bust 

Grab a tape and wrap it around the fullest part of your chest, under the armholes, and round to the nearest whole number. This is the chest size as per the womens dress size chart.   

Waist 

Take the tape measure all around the narrowest part of your waist. It should be straight and not curling. Keep your back straight while measuring. 

Hips 

To get the womens sizes aptly, the measuring tape should circle around the widest part of the hips, crossing behind the back. Check the number on the tape for the measurement.  

How to Select the Right Clothes for Your Body Shape

The beauty landscape is changing, and self-empowerment is essential. Struggling to fit into unrealistic sizes and crash dieting to keep the pounds away is a thing of the past. Body positivity and dressing-for-your-body type are empowering. While we understand that everyone is not an expert stylist, here are a few suggestions to help you look effortlessly well-styled in plus-size fashion.  

Understand Your Body Type 

Plus-size body shapes can be different types: straight, hourglass, apple, or pear. At Instafab Plus, we offer ladies size chart and styles for each body shape. But first, let's understand the features of female body sizes or body types to help you figure out the ideal one. 

Straight Body shape 

• Your body shape is straight or almost the same size from top to bottom. 
• The shoulder and bust are close to the measurement of your hips.
• The waist is not clearly defined.

Opt for off-shoulder styles, shift dresses and A-line skirts. Wrap dresses may work well for you. Check out our Red wrap-around dress. Styling tips- wear a belt to give definition to the waist, and try flared pants and plus-size tops with a V-neckline. Refer to the women size chart for the measurements.

Apple Body Shape

• You have balanced shoulders and hips.
• Your upper body is curvier, and you have a broader waist.

This is among female body sizes, which can be accentuated by empire waist and wrap dresses, wide-leg pants and tops with volume on sleeves. Avoid clingy fabrics. Go for comfortable fits. Can also try wearing V-neck tops and dresses. Try to make the tops you choose fall just below the hips. 

Bootcut pants, A-Line skirts and a stylish jacket can work well for this silhouette.

Pear Body Shape

• You probably have narrow shoulders.
• Broader hips and a defined waist.

Bootcut pants, A-Line skirts, ruffled tops, and a stylish jacket will work well for such female body sizes.

Ensure the tops and jackets fall just below the hips. Emphasise the upper part of the outfit. 

Hourglass Shape

• The chest and hips tend to be broad but more in line.
• The waist is narrower.
• Your shoulders and hips are almost the same width, providing a balanced body.

This is among those female body sizes that are easier to style, as there are several options. Skinny jeans with a flared top, pencil skirts with a romantic blouse. Or an Empire Dress. Solids or prints. These styles will enhance the curves. 

Mistakes to Avoid When Styling Clothes

Dress according to your shape and style, and you will always look well put-together. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while wearing plus-size fashion. 

Wearing Oversized Clothes

The plus-size body needs clothes that give it a definition, not make it look larger. Oversized clothing like baggy tops will only make your silhouette appear larger. 

Wearing Low-Waisted Jeans/ pants

Low-waisted jeans emphasise the waist. In the case of fuller figures, this can be uncomfortable and only make the wearer appear stockier. So it's best to go for straight or bootcut jeans. 

Avoid Clingy Fabrics 

Georgette, fine silk, and knits such as jerseys can be closely fitted and clingy. In this case, one may feel uncomfortable. Instead, opt for cotton or polyester/ cotton or rayon fabrics. 

Vary The Sleeve Length

Plus-size wearers often prefer full sleeves in all styles to cover bulky areas. It is suggested that you wear a half-sleeve or sleeveless (if wearing a comfort-fit style) as that would appear more appealing.

Wearing High Neck Styles

A closed polo neck can give a clunky appearance.  Try shirt dresses with collars instead or asymmetrical necklines. Collars give a definition to the neck area and are more flattering. Check our Solid Net Sleeve Stylish Casual Dresses in white and Collar shirt dress with volume on sleeves. Or go for the asymmetrical Purple Self-Design Dress. 

Add definition with dart details

Look out for tailoring elements that add to the fit of the garment. For instance, darts under the bust and in dresses will give a more fitted appearance.  

How To Buy Perfect-Size Clothing For Plus-Size Women

While it's important to look chic and contemporary, there are a few factors to consider when checking the fit for plus size.

Shoulder seams

The shoulder should sit directly on the seam and not be falling over. Otherwise, it would appear too loose or unflattering.

Sleeves 

Check that the sleeves start from the shoulder seam till the wrist. It should hang over, or there should not be uncomfortable folds on the sleeve. 

Length

For plus sizes, a mid-length shirt works the best. The length should be just covering the hip, not be longer or too short.

Shape of the garment

Try styles that suit your body shape. Refer to our page on plus-size body types. While a wrap dress may suit all body types, an A-line silhouette would look great on a pear-shaped body type. 

Always compare the women size chart to see the actual measurements and then make your purchase. 

Conclusion

One can always look trendy, irrespective of being a plus or a petite size. What matters is understanding one’s body shape and wearing styles that are flattering. Also, size is an important factor, and one should ensure that the women’s size chart is referred to for size specifications.
